Radio stack doens't work

[bassemanden93]

I just bought the C182 for P3Dv4, and the radio stack doesn't work.

I've checked the avionics, and only GPS seems to be working.

I've checked all power switches on the radio stack and still nothing. i bought the C182 together with the P51 civilian, and Accu-feel, and the GPS in P51 doesn't work aswell. I'm currently running P3Dv4.4

Hello and welcome to the A2A forums.

Please could you let us know if the Davtron clock next to the ASI is working? If it's not, this may indicate that the 182's avaionics DLL hasn't been loaded for some reason, possibly due to antivirus software or similar.

If the clock is powered and functional, please can you check the circuit breakers for the avionics buses.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, please can you let us know which aircraft loads within your P3D default flight? (i.e the aircraft which first loads in the "vehicle" panel at top left. By default it's the F-22 at Eglin AFB.)

Thanks,
Nick

The clock does not work aswell.

I have checked all circuit breakers, and everything is on.

Thanks for checking. In that case, please can you verify if the following file is present on your system:

• Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A\SimObjects\Airplanes\A2A_C182\panel\C182.dll

If it's not, do you have any antivirus software running which may have quarantined it during installation?

Also, please can you let us know which aircraft loads as default as mentioned above?

Regards,
Nick

The file is present.

And when i startup P3D, the default aircraft that comes up is the F22 Raptor

[Nick - A2A]

In that case, I wonder if there's a third-party utility present which is preventing the DLL from being loaded. Do you have any firewall or AV software running whilst you use P3D, and if so, from which provider?

Also how about other P3D utilities or background Windows utilities such as Process Lasso?

Thanks,
Nick

Well i have F-secure anti-virus running in the background, i will try to deactivate it and see if that helps

[Nick - A2A]

Okay, thanks - maybe worth a try.

Nick

[bassemanden93]

Still nothing.

[bassemanden93]

i'll try to delete every local A2A files, deactivate AV and then reinstall the C182

[Nick - A2A]

Okay thanks. What happens if you try the autostart option in the Shift 3 menu? Does the aircraft engine actually start, but all the avionics displays remain dead?

Nick

Edit: Just seen your latest post: reinstalling won't do any harm, but you could also try manually deleting the contents of "Documents\A2A\FSX\Cessna182".

[bassemanden93]

When i autostart via Shift-3 everything runs, except the the radio stack.

I'm trying to locate all A2A files on my computer, delete them

[Nick - A2A]

If you uninstall in the usual way then delete any leftover files in the two locations "Documents\A2A" and "Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A" that should do it.

After uninstalling, you could also launch P3D once to refresh its add-ons.cfg files.

Thanks,
Nick

[bassemanden93]

Hell yeah!!!

That did the trick!

Starts up and everything! Beautiful! time to go flying!!

[Nick - A2A]

Great news - thanks for the update. My guess would be that your AV suite imposed some sort of restriction preventing the DLL from loading. If you have further issues along these lines, it may be worth creating an exception in the AV software for the P3D and A2A directories.
