Can't get C172 to work in P3D2.2 [Solved]

[Holy Cheese]

Hi gents,

further to advice in another thread, I installed the C172 into P3D2.2 by placing a copy of FSX.exe into the root folder of P3D2.2. This installed without a problem and I was able to ake a short light ok.

I then installed the Accusim core update v1.6, which offered a P3D v2 installer, and also seemed to install ok. However, when I start up P3D2.2 and select the C172 and then change my airport to LSZR, the sim loads to 100%, presents me with a black screen for a couple of seconds and then closes without any error message. If I start the sim and select a default aircraft first, it loads ok. I can then change to the C172, but it immediately shuts down the engine, and I am left with no controllers active apart from the mouse yoke (I have a Saitek yoke, an extra Saitek throttle quadrant and Saitek pedals). Prior to installing the C172 I had no problems.

Can anyone offer any help or clues?

Thanks
Jack

Please ignore.

I re-installed the Accusim core, this time selecting the landing lights not to illuminate ground, and the aircraft loads ok again.

Have still lost my controllers however.

Somewhere on the P3D forums, there is a thread that states that due to some changes in P3DV2.2, you may have to go into "Controls" and reassign all the settings. I had to do this and all is well!

Hope this helps a bit.

Problem solved by unplugging and replugging the USB cable for the Saitek gear.
