I am not sure that I have in-game display working correctly. When I start it, after starting my flight and connecting to MSFS, what I see is a menu of hotkeys, a button at the top, and some buttons at the bottom. None of the buttons work so I am not able to, for example, display a list of frequencies even though the plane is powered. Any suggestions as to where I can start to tackle this or is that all that the in-game panel displays?

Hi Ed,

I'm not sure why the buttons aren't working if you are able to see the In-Game display in MSFS - perhaps you could try the following for me:

1) Check that the options in PF3 are set like this:

2) Check that your PF3WebDisplay.ini file contains just these entries (please save a copy your current file if it has different settings):
[PF3WebDisplay]
WebPort=
PF3Port=
PF3Host=
ATCRadio=Yes
RemoteText=Yes

3) Start MSFS and set-up your flight, then start PF3 - it should start Web Display automatically using the default settings.

4) Try connecting to Web Display from a browser on the PC on which you're running MSFS & PF3 (http://localhost:7339) - you should see something like this:

If you click the 'Hide default commands' button at the top they should disappear, and re-appear if you then click 'Show default commands'
If this is working correctly then please proceed to step 5.
Otherwise, we first need to resolve this issue; please skip to step 6)

5) Web Display seems to be working, so now please try opening it within MSFS (preferably outside VR).
If you hide the default commands and then click the button to the right of 'Radar Freqs' then you should see something like this:

If not, then the problem somehow lies with MSFS and the In-Game display - it may be that the buttons aren't working, as you described earlier.

6) If either the browser or In-Game display aren't working correctly, please disconnect PF3 from MSFS and exit it to close the log files cleanly.
Then upload the file PF3WebDisplay.log that can be found in the folder where Web Display is installed (default is PF3_WEB_Display).
Also, if you're having problems with the browser, please let me know which one you are using - Chrome, Firefox or Edge should all be okay.

Please let me know how you get on. These screen shots were taken from my own FS system this morning, and all is working as expected.
Martin

Is what got it working for me, thank you very much.

I have a few other questions but they are regarding the TGS. Are you aware of a way to get that to display in VR? Can the TGS gage be displayed on another screen on the same computer or does it display only in/on the MSFS pancake cockpit?

I'm glad that you have been able to get Web Display working in VR.

Re TGS: Unfortunately I don't know the answer, you will need to ask that in the main forum - I only use TGS audio guidance myself.

No worries good Sir. I finally had the chance to sit and review the TGS section of the manual and it answered my question. Now, I simply need the opportunity to fire up the sim and test it.
