I have the B-17 with Accusim installed. Whenever I start up a game, the props are immediately destroyed, without doing anything at all.

Automixture is off, and realism settings are high. I tried starting with no fuel, at different locations, even in the air, but no matter what, my props are completely annihilated right when the game begins.

Am I missing something??

Have you gone to the Maintenance Hangar and repaired the props? If you happened to crash land on a prior
flight and did not visit the MH to repair the damage then it would persist.

If nothing shows in the MH, then it is possible that your DAT file has somehow become corrupted. To remedy this
you would need to delete the file and a new one, with 0 hours, will be created.

That file is located in your "My Documents\A2A\FSX\B17" folder and is named "B17log.dat".
The path in Win7 may be a bit different but it is under your documents in any case.

Could it be a dodgy/corrupt default flight?

Sorry for the wait,
I have been testing different ways this could happen, and I think it is just random glitch.

Thanks,
Ty
