Have not flown the Connie in FSX Acceleration for a couple of months. Went to start a flight and loaded up the Connie but it acts like it is reloading every second...the aircraft flashes and jumps and if I try to open a pop-up window they open than just close...also the Sim pauses during that reload of the Connie (I can tell it is pausing as the AI aircraft stop moving for just that second and than continue). Plus I found I had lost all my career history (luckily I keep backups). Since I installed P3D v4 a couple of months ago I had been flying the Connie in that SIM so went back to P3D v4 and the Connie worked perfectly.
Went back to FSX and tried the Strat, PA24-250 and the PMDG DC-6B...all worked normally. Also, I have the April updates installed.
Found in the forums about SimConnect issues but did the "test" and the default C-172 (plus all the other aircraft) all have gauges.
How do I fix?
Thanks,
Connie in FSX keeps reloading

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
I get this same behavior in the Connie (FSX) if I try to reload a saved flight. The plane is all messed up and it bounces and reloads every second or two. Your issue sounds like a different situation but the results sound the same. I have not tried saving and reloading a flight in P3D v4 yet. I presume it will give the same results as FSX.
Good Luck

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
I get the same result whether loading a saved flight or first loading my default flight and then just changing the aircraft. Have not tried loading a saved flight in P3D v4.

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
Just confirming here, your default flight is with a stock aircraft? That is very important.
An interesting bug for me;
The only way I can load the Connie in FSX or P3D v4 is to load SIM with default flight of stock plane [mine is the Baron 58], change to Connie in main menu/scenario editor and spawn in. I cannot, in any way, change to the Connie once I have spawned. Not even by returning to main menu/scenario editor. The SIM will CTD right there as soon as I choose the Connie. This is only in the Connie and repainting her took many many many many game restarts

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
Yes, I start with the default FSX C172. In the past I was able to start the Connie either from a Saved Flight or loading after the default flight. Until my attempt at a new flight this afternoon, I had previously been able to start either way in both FSX & P3D v4.
Hope A2A has a solution...I miss flying the Connie.

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
When i set up the sim, I set it up to permanently "run as Administrator" However I have not tried starting it with "right click" and "Run as Administrator"...will try that when I get back to my computer on Monday.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
I set up the shortcut to run as administrator and that should be fine. If it is running as admin all the profile data will be created under the admin account my documents folder.

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
Was able to get back to my computer just now. Checked, and both my FSX Shortcut and the fsx.exe were set to run as administrator. I then did as Lewis suggested and went to my fsx.exe, right clicked on it and choose to "Run as Administrator". Did not help...the Connie just kept restarting.
As I said before, I can load the Strat, PA24-250, the Default C172, the PMDG DC-6B and the C-47 V3.15 Beta normally without any re-start happening.
Let me know what you think I need to do now.
Thanks,

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
I liked you detailed description on how planes fly. That sure helped me out a lot and answered some questions that I had always wondered about.spkier wrote:Just a little info i had this my self if you go ahead and go into my documents delete fsx folder and a2a (deleting a2a will reset you're stats make backup)
and go to %appdata% find microsoft > FSX delete simobjects and everything else exept fsx.cfg and dll.xml and exe.xml and reinstall you're plane
this fixed the issue for me

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
Finally solved. Ended up my L049.dll was corrupt (0 data). Replaced it with the new one from my re-download and everything fixed.
Just really disappointed that after several days I never received a reply from A2A when I answered Lewis's question.

Sorry for the delay triflyman, didn't you already try a reinstall though?

Re: Connie in FSX keeps reloading
No. I never do a reinstall without the developer telling me to do so...or in this case someone in the community who had previous similar experience. Even after spiker posted his advice, I waited several days waiting for you all to tell me to do something different or confirming his suggestion.
