Lieber Hardy, dear all,

Can you please guide me what happened here in this situation?
Look at my LWR EICAS the multitude of messages; plus I get the "DATALINK SYS" on the upper EICAS.
The Center CDU will not fetch any ATIS data as well.

Thank you for any pointers.

Liebe Grüsse

Hi Mark,

these status messages have no reason to be there; e.g. VOR R is operative. I can reset that message by cycling the VOR R CB.

I'm seeing no DATALINK SYS message. My ACARS receives ATIS data.

What's the history of this situation? What happened before?

Do you use networked add-ons?

I've never seen this effect.

Hi Hardy,

Thank you.

I started cold & dark situ .... during process of alignment (around 2 minutes left) I noticed, I did not have the right model loaded (my N475MC B747F), so switched and noticed nothing irregular.
One thing I recall: IRS 2 rotated to ATT by mistake (my mistake) but corrected that again.

I had no power failure, all was smooth from GND to APU etc.

However: one thing odd was that the Weather Interface at the Instructor Panel would continuously show airports in South America even the Position was clearly set at ZSPD Holding 17L.
I could not manipulate any Weather information at all on the Instructor Panel.
Also: I noticed on the Instructor Panel the Route (ZSPDVHHH01) was displayed as "ZSPDVHH02" ready to be archived (that interface on the lower side of the GUI where it asks if you would like to archive the route). I did not manipulate the route with that affix; uploaded it from Simbrief with "01" after the route. Felt that was strange too.

On my upper EICAS I see the DATALINK SYS in advisory colour displayed.
But DATALINK is active in the CDU ... and I really can not load ATIS (even printed that message with my Thermoprinter). Yes, Network is on.

I am going to try this again later tonight.

Cheers,

Mark

That's the essential question: What is connected to the network?

SwissMark

Network is being connected to by:
- MCP 737 EL from CP Flight
- ACARS Print Thermoprinter
- PSX Router and Client for the WASM Aircraft

PSX/all screens/all hardware is one PC Windows 11 only; all all other hardware: Boeing Yoke, Bravo Throttle Quadrant, Thrustmaster Rudders are all connected via USB (powered USB Hub) and  -  to my understanding - not use the Network gateway.

I have been doing at least 5 flights with the above set-up, and only yesterday updated my NVIDIA drivers, all other same/same. This LWR EICAS only popped up yesterday on this specific flight from Pudong back to Hong Kong. Inbound flight zero issues.

All flights are done on VATSIM but that should not be an issue.
