The A2A Simulations Community

I was trying to use Instant Scenery 3 in FSX without success I left the program and when I tried to work all the functions (rudder, etc) on all of my Accu-Sim planes (172, 180, 182, 250 and T6) none of them worked. Not sure what I did wrong but how do I go about correcting this?

Are you an FSUIPC user or use any 3rd party software to control the sim?

thanks,

Yes, I do have FSUIPC on my computer but I never use it. Do you think that might be the problem if so what should I be doing?

Check to make sure you have controllers active in the sim and if not using FSUIPC might be a good idea to remove it at least whilst troubleshooting your current issue.

thanks,

The controllers are checked and I deleted FSUIPC and still do not have any of the functions on A2A planes. I do have them working on other planes but not A2A.

How about the maint hangar?

When I try to go to the hanger I get the message "Access to Maintenance Hanger only on ground and with engine off" Click to bypass" The engine is not running and when I try to start it smoke comes out and the prop does not move after a few tries the smoke stops appearing. Apparently the engine is running but it does not show in the plane image on the runway. Were do I go from here? Maybe I should just delete all the planes I have and do a complete reinstall, what do you think?

Hello,

did you click to bypass?

It does sound like your simconnect is corrupt or you don't have your FSX correctly updated to have the correct simconnect.

Ensure you have advanced animations checked within the sim options.
Ensure your maintenance hangar isn't informing you of problems
Ensure you have read the manual and fully understand what correct operation entails. You can ask if you don't.

I am unable to check 'bypass". The default 172 does not have gauges so it must be simconnect, right? I downloaded simconnect installed it but nothing changed. The advanced animations is checked. Does that mean FSX is screwed up?

If even the default 172 in your sim is having issues then it does sound like you have some core issues with the sim. Its best to have a fully operating FSX updated to SP2 standard or a operating FSX Steam edition install prior to adding any third party content to it.

I reinstalled the SP2 standard but it made no difference. I just deleted all of the planes and reinstalled they along with the most current AccuSim and everything is back to normal. Thank you very much for all your assistance.

Good to hear, sounds like you have some major corruption in your sim platform. A good old reinstall has straightened everything out. happy flying
