Maybe a bug... or just a screwed up install on my part.

 

- Open "Extras" menu

- Select "Trip Computer"

 

The following message error appears: "missing 746_32K_MN-008_24.bmp"

 

I checked the download and it appears to included files MN-001 through MN-006 with 007,008,009 missing and starts back up again with MN-010.

 

 

Once I close the dialog box by pressing "OK" the navigation side of the unit shuts down... Anyone else have this problem? Or possible solution?

 

Thanks

Scott

Thanks for bringing that up. I had to clean this mod up before posting it as it was originally 24.6mb and it was to large, so I had to condense and delete a lot of unused files. I fixed the Data.zip with a new file that fixes this issue and you can now access the tripcomputer. So for everyone:

Please download the new file posted July 24 5:53pm. Thank you!

Great job here, just installed and took a quick ride. The only issue I saw was the speed limit sign on the split screen being overlapped by the time.

 

PP being sent.

Thank you very much for the donation! It is greatly appreciated :)! The overlapping speedlimit sign is now fixed, please redownload the file and it is working good.

Hey guys, I know that bit is a pain, but the file has to be redownloaded with the new one that is posted in it's place. This file has all the fixes and should be problem free. It is in the same spot that the last one was. Thanks

Total Commander and RESinfo now works as well. You have to install the files in 'MyFlashDisk/system' folder. If you do not have a system folder, then you have to make one. The files to install, you can find in your 'testmode/utilities' folder. They are both .exe files, so just install them in your System folder.

Hello.

 

I have the X910BT. I found this site by accident and would like to try the mods. My flashdisk file does not have a system folder but I can access the Total Commander and ResInfo from start-programs (start-programs-total commander or start-programs-resinfo). Do I need to do anything or not?

 

I couldn't install all of the folders for the mod. The files are too large. I have deleted maps I would never use, splash pics, XM pics, almost all 3D car pics, and all language packs except english. Which subfolders in the GFX folders can I delete that would cause the least issues? Better yet, which folders or files should I delete to get the most functionality of the mod?

 

Thanks.

First of all forgive my English.

With this mod you've done a good job. 'Beer Money' sent.

 

One question: I see the speed cameras on the map but I can only warn visually and beeps.

Spoken alert does not work for me.

I changed the ogg files in English (kph) for ogg files with Spanish translation (kph) not changed anything else.

Abb, how do we get the sky to show up in the nav screen? I have selected summer view but it's still tilted so i can not see the sky? I have played around with the settings, is there one setting i have to adjust to get the view i'm looking for? :D

There is two ways to do that, adjust it in smartzoom, or turn smartzoom off.

Unused maps and POI files are the best candidates for deletion. Other files are mostly too small to make up space.

To clarify, adjust the smartzoom so that both angles sliding bars are all the way to the right side, at value 90.

 

For you lovers of smartzoom, as oppose to IDT's mod and Abb's Chrome mod V2.x, this mod as well of that of Diaftia's mod DOESN'T work with the zooming in/tilting map during navigation maneuver ...

Thanks, that did the trick.

That should be able to be configured in the settings under 'Warnings', I am not sure though as we dont have speedcameras here and there is no way for me to test this out. The default setting is for audible to be 'off', but you can enable it there.

Thanks for the Beers :)!

Hey Abb,

 

Looking at the simulation pic of the first page, I would suggest arranging the simulation buttons as follow:

 

Slower - Pause/Start - Faster.

 

I think that this will be more intuitive and in a more conventional way.

 

Cheers!

Hey Abb..Havent installed yet, but this one looks awesome.

I noticed on a your screenshots you have some highway signs poppin up. Looks like your up my way in Canada, and i dont get any highway signs. I did get them when driving US bound...

 

Just curious as to what maps you are using? Im using the TA Maps, and wondering if thats my problem.

Let me know what you suggest.

 

Thanks

In short for Canada, TA maps have speed limits and NavTeq maps have highway signposts, unfortunately not both. :roll:

 

Hope that this will be history in their next maps updates.

Your new version of mod is not bad, but you've integrated my old version of MB-3DCars which is version 1.1 and not the latest version 1.1a! This latest version includes adjustments that avoid the risk of blocking its AVIC because of the possibility of file corruption (I had already mentioned in the topic dedicated).

 

I saw that you had copied the settings file sys.txt to my mod MB-IDT3.0-4c, but you do not set the parameter GPS allows a better reactivity of position on map? it's a shame because it works well.

By cons you've made others which are entirely specific to options that I created for my mod?!

Hi Misterblue,

 

It is interesting what you are saying. Can you be more specific as on what parameters in Sys.txt should be tweaked in order to make the GPS faster or more precise?

 

Thanks.

Posted Jul 29, 2010 · 08:26 UTC#68

You said the right word, thank you, with this setting the GPS is more precise :wink: .

In any case I found as well as other users of my mod.

I do not know why ABB1 not keep this setting interesting of my sys.txt ? it has changed a bit and made with this new version of mod. If there is good reason, he should be able to let us know for not having kept this setting.

 

in [gps] section of sys.txt :

 

del

baud=9600

add

maximise_baud=1

It is important to remove in this sys.txt, the parameters that are made to my option to display adjustment and early speedcam alerts (windows and voice/beep). In my mod the option that I created for deciding to start max distance speedcam alerts between 1200m and 600m (Warn Distance) in my "Audible Warning" speedcam settings.

I selected the Mini Cooper Cars 3d (Model 52) and now the system reboots when you click the button map. Is there a solution? Thanks.

Posted Jul 29, 2010 · 11:30 UTC#70

when u select a car it supposed to reboot. once

Posted Jul 29, 2010 · 11:44 UTC#71

Everything worked fine until I changed the model 06RD (second on the list) to the model 52 and now the system reboots continuously when you press the map (the map fails to start and the system reboots another time). Sorry for my english.

Posted Jul 29, 2010 · 14:40 UTC#72

This version of mini cooper (52) available here is corrupted, in my version MB-3DCars1.1a, there is no problem.

I do not know why ABB1, requires you to download his mod and install my old version of the add-on (1.1)?!

The latest version is here, delete the folder 3DCars installing this Mod ABB and replace everything by the last folder you just downloaded (no replace the sys.txt).

The 52 now and work for this version of add-on is more stable.

Still buggy the 3DCar addon. I am sure that Misterblue could fix it :D .

Yeah I saw this setting before and it allow the system to set the communication speed with the GPS device. Just to make sure, should I use "maximise_baud=1" or "maximize_baud=1" :?:

Posted Jul 29, 2010 · 14:48 UTC#75

Yes this parameter redefined the baud rate.

maximise_baud=1

remember to remove the setting that I mentioned above.

I have no problem with my latest version MB-3DCars1.1a, the version ABB placed in its installation folder is not my official version is probably why you have problems :wink:

 

for information MB-3DCars1.2 will be available soon and will include new vehicle models... please wait :wink::mrgreen:
