Cannot Load File, and then a Null value error

Post by flyinryan55 »

Hello everyone, I have been scouring the forums the past few days trying to figure out how to make this airplane work. I have windows 7 64 bit and am running steam edition FSX. I have done the install as well as the update for the t6, as well as even a fresh fsx install. I have also installed the dx9 and re downloaded the simconnect. When I open my fsx every plane works fine except the t6. Upon loading at any airport I get the "cannot load file" and "a null value error" then the plane loads (which is stunningly awesome) all control surfaces work, I can access all the hanger menus however. I cannot overhaul airplane, (and it shows red on every marker) it also has a quick blurp of sound when it opens but then I only have standard fsx sound effects nothing for this plane. It will not start, it will not hand prop its just like a dead paperweight. the wheel chocks will work as well as jacks, and tiedowns. but that's it. does anyone have any ideas on what I should try next? Big thanks in advance.

Hello,

Have you run the latest Updater?
https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewto ... 77&t=57819

Also can you let us know how you are loading into the simulation as it sounds like a loading error.

thanks,

Hello, thanks for the time... I am running steam as admin and then running fsx as admin. I’ve tried loading free flight multiple ways. Default trike aircraft default airport and loading plane from in game change aircraft menu, to choosing t6 and loading on a default airport or in the air . I also purchased the skyhawk and it has the exact same problem as the Texan. I have litterally tried loading I’m st least 30 different ways to make it work. I have re created and saved a new default flight (different then what fsx started with(even that didn’t make a difference)

Hello,

what is your default flight?

Did the updater run OK and update the aircraft you own?

Have you run the FSX Steam re-verify file tool?

thanks,
Lewis

Hello,

can you please uninstall and remove all trace of the Accu-sim aircraft, including going into the folder structure and deleting manually any remaining files including the .dat files in your my documents folder.

thanks,

Ok so long as the my documents files have also been deleted, now please restart your system and reinstall one aircraft and let me know how you get on.

Yay!!!!! hip hip horray!!! it works and it is beautiful!!! A solid reminder of the plane that I first flew that gave me my first bug for aviation!! Job well done with this one.. Thank you very much for your help, I swear I did everything that you posted previously but for some reason magically it worked this time lol. My apologies for not responding to this this morning when I tried it but I have been stuck in the cockpit for about 4 hours lol. I am nervous to load my next plane in fear that for some reason this one wont work anymore, but tomorrow I will bite the bullet and try it. So to be clear to load my skylane, I should open installer as admin, run it, then run the updater as admin again? and restart computer and give it a try? Thanks again for all your help, you have no idea the excitement and joy I have had today.
