Hours reset to 0

Post by modelmajik »

The engine hours always rest to 0 when loading a saved flight in the piper cub. I need a solution to this, I lost twelve hours of logged engine time. This plane is no fun to have under these circumstances. After having to re install the cub, had this issue.

Ok, is this for FSX purchased from us or direct from steam as part of DLC for FSX Steam edition?

If purchased from us have you run the latest updater?

Yes it was purchased through your site. I am running fsx store version. The updater was run correctly before installing the planes. After using the cub and saving games to continue the trip, after clicking on load, the plane loads ok, but the hours for last flight not shown, and reset to 0. It worked for a while ok, but something happened. then I reinstalled the cub, and it is still set to 0. I tried running the plane, and saving the flight time to 0.1, then save the flight. Then upon running the save again, instead of wasting flight time, I restart it, and reset to 0.
It has happened before, I just have not figured out the fix for this to use the plane. I just flew the Piper Cherokee in it's place today, to continue on my route. It is logging the hours correctly. Something in the hours save data in the piper cub is not working I would suppose, or for some reason it gets corrupted and needs a path possibly. I already had installed all updates.

Let me try to re download it and reinstall the update again, as long as it does not reset the other planes. It just has me baffled at this point. Maybe a corrupt download, not sure.
Ok no avail. After reinstall, and flying for 0.5 hrs, I landed and saved. Then exited fsx, reloaded it, and the hrs said 0. So this did not fix it.

Did you install the aircraft "As Administrator? perhaps there is a permissions issue that
is preventing the aircraft 'dat' file from being written after a flight.
