There is no support via email.

When you launch the sim are you using a saved flight? What is your default flight set to?

It is important not to use saved flights to launch directly into the A2A aircraft as it can initialize incorrectly. The default flight should also be the original one that came with your simulator.

This is due to limitations of the simulation engine and the way that advanced add ons interact when they are loaded.

Are you using any utilities like Flyinside our anything that launches the simulator? There have been reports similar to yours with such conflicts.

Something is definitely wrong here. First make sure you have run the accusim updater here:

If you have, Oracle may be on to something. Make sure your default flight is not with an Accu-Sim plane, load that flight, then load the Accu-Sim airplane.

If you can start a new thread listing the exact issues we can then help you out. We try not to have multiple issues in one thread as rarely are they related and it makes it very difficult to troubleshoot and get customers up and flying.

thanks,
Lewis

No, not a saved flight. I load P3D from the selection screen (default aircraft is the F22) and pick my plane and airport, set the time, put it to ActiveSky Weather, and go.

What this appears to have been is that after I updated Client, Content, and Scenery to P3Dv4.3, I apparently needed to install the SP1 and SP2 SimConnects from redis. I've done that and haven't had an issue in several test flights. It's a bit early to say for 100% certain, but it would appear to be the case. So, it looks like Accusim was disconnecting, according to some other threads, and then for whatever reason reinstalling SimConnect seems to have sorted it out.

For sake of completeness, outside of scenery addons, running (external) addons during this were ASP4+ASCA, WAMA, FS-FlightControl, EZCA, and GoFlight Interface Tool. There's also SODE, Couatl, and a couple other internal-type things, plus FSUIPC. But, it did appear to be SimConnect.

Edit: reason that it was in this thread was it initially appeared to be a starting issue on the 172 and then kind of snowballed once I realized the scope of the problem.

Few days ago I installed A2A C172 Professional in P3Dv4.1 and also in FSX. Then applied the updates.
I have flown this magic bird in FSX without issues so far.

Tried several times to fly in P3D4.1 but it always stalls right after take off. I noticed the message "Volts" on the cockpit panel that goes away after I throttle up. Tried Crtl+E to start, same stalls problem. While climbing I turn Throttle down, the Stalls stops but the bird stays on ground or bouncing around.

Any ideas?
