Have downloaded the file twice, and installed newly purchased Piper Cherokee downloaded from store twice today, second time around did it as administrator. After each install, when call up the aircraft, it loads slowly with only an outline of the panel, BUT, it keeps flashing every few seconds, pausing the sim, and I cannot pan down. Shift-3 calls up the pop up, but it disappears after a few seconds and I'm unable to affect any changes. i've installed the 3-30-16 update and still no luck. Other aircraft work just fine. Using WIN 7 64bit, FSX w/ACCEL, only recent change was update to latest NVIDIA drivers (364.72)a few days ago.
Have RXP GNS 530 installed also, and not able to call up GPS change process.
Bad download? What else to check? Did the simconnect update from elsewhere in the forum.
Thanks
Charlie

Re: Having big trouble with 180
Hello Charlie,
welcome to the forums.
The issue you are having sounds a lot like your FSX is corrupt, in particular the SP2/Accell components.
Have you tried a repair of your FSX/Accel?
Can you post a screenshot of the exact effect you are getting in the virtual cockpit?
Do you have any other add-ons installed that require configs to be run etc when you install a new aircraft such as dx10 fixer for the effects conversion or ezdok for correct camera setups?
thanks,
Lewis

Re: Having big trouble with 180
Thanks for quick reply. I do have Steve's DX10 fixer installed (Simply because he is a "Parsons" like me - LOL) I'll try the repair of my FSX and see what happens. This is weird because all my other A/C installs work find (a couple of Carenado planes). We'll see what happens.

Re: Having big trouble with 180
Hello,
let us know how you get on with the repair and if you have any screenshots. Other aircraft may work fine if they are like the ones you mentioned not using SP2 simconnect and require FSX to be fully updated.
thanks,
Lewis

Re: Having big trouble with 180
Hi !
Got FSX/ACCEL "repaired" after replacing the CD/DVD drive. Funny how things crop up while dealing with another problem. Still having trouble after another reinstall of 180. Hard to get a screenshot as flashing lasts for only a second. I did get the aircraft configurator app this time around, along with requests to run A2A services and DLL's (They didn't show up before). As much as I hate it (Soooo much scenery and add-ons to locate install disks for) I think a clean install of FSX is my next step, after I reformat the drive (Have FSX on 2nd HDD (E:) instead of default install dir of C/program Files.
Will be a few days before I can get all that done (New job requires a ton of paperwork and some training).
Thanks, tho
Charlie

Re: Having big trouble with 180
Alrighty:
Got the HDD formatted and new FSX install done last night. Installed my mesh and OPUS addons, along with Ult Traffic II. Made three flights
today with no problems ! !. Must have been something I added. Gonna have to stop "improving" my sim.
In addition to locating my install disks, I found my old Pilots Logbook from when I was doing RL flying. Got my PPL in PA28-140's and 180's 1971 to 1974. Logged 11.5 hrs in 180's back then. Neat to be able to relive those times with this A/C. Thanks for everybody's suggestions.

Re: Having big trouble with 180
okie dokie, I'd wager a corrupt FS sp2 install was the issue, normally the repair works but unfortunately rarely a reinstall of the sim is the only way to correct the issue.

Re: Having big trouble with 180
Good to hear, stick around and any questions or anything just make a new thread and ask, we have a fair few pilots and instructors and of course plenty of experienced simmers etc on the forums who are always helpful in helping people get the most out of there experiences.
