I have several problems

[pluchino]

I have several problems with my C172 Trained I´ve just downloaded yesterday
1) No sound at all
2) No strings tied in to the wings at start
3) No hangar and any other window at the view display, no fuel or payload window at all, no preflight diagram shown.
4) I cant start engine, if I turn the ingnition key, no sound, no prop spin, no signals when turn batt on.

I have fsx with SP1 AND SP2 already installed. So many problems that I think is someting missing in the download zip.

PD: Sorry for my English, Im from LEVX, i tried my best.

Hello,

1) thats an issue maybe reinstall (Accu-sim sound plays through default windows sound device btw so if this isnt what you are listening through some sounds will be missing though normal FSX sounds should still play just fine)

2) Ropes are only attached when C&D is selected or the tie downs are selected from the shift-2 menu after the flight

3) Do the shift +2,3,4,5 etc work on your default aircraft. These are default FSX keys so can be remapped using the FSX controls screen

4) error that reinstall might solve. Though it might be worth also reinstalling you simconnect;

- Run the Microsoft DirectX installer here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35
- Run the Microsoft FSX Simconnect installer here: http://a2asimulations.com/public/downlo ... onnect.msi
- Reboot your computer

Thanks,
Lewis

Everything solved!!!!
First I Uninstall the Cessna then reinstalled SP1 & SP2
Run DirectX from the download but send me an error log. Instead of that I proceed with reinstalling Simmconect an then I downloaded again the zip from A2A. Run the installation and all worked.

Now I am a happy virtual pilot again
Thank you a lot.

I have run into the same install and functionality problems on my client machine (it installed perfectly on my server machine). I use OPUS FSX views on my client; I don't need a completely functional aircraft - it's just for external views, however, the propeller doesn't spin and I cannot start the engine using the CTRL-E nor access the shift windows.
I will try your solutions Lewis. I take it the C172 should be installed after in installing DirectX and SimConnect as per your links above.

So far the rest is A-OK, the only thing left is the EGT reference needle that doesn't move. I used the Trainer config tools and set it up with my propeller lever. It works when I enable the controls in FSX but not when I use FSUIPC.

I have to say this again: Kudos for a fantastic simulator!

Glad its solved, when issues like this happen is normally because FSX installation is corrupt beyond repair and needs reinstalling or the service packs need re-applying due to corruption. However before coming out and saying this its always best to the try the smaller things such as reinstall of simconnetc and direct X9.
