cannot load maintenance hangar

Post by tcardenwebb »

Hi,

I cannot run the maintenance hangar. Whenever I type shift(7) it locks up and i have to restart flight sim. I'm running and ASUS ROG G751J and a SSD hard drive. Have tried turning all graphics down to minimum and have also tried reinstalling the aircraft. I've updated to SP2.


Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Saying, you have SP2 installed, I understand, you use FSX boxed edition. Do you have the Accu-Sim package for your P-51D installed?
I think you cannot have hangar without it.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

I'll just start with a couple of questions to hone in on your particular setup and circumstance and cover a couple of the basics.

Can you let us know if you have FSX boxed edition and updated with FSX SP1 & SP2?

Can you let us know if you have the Accu-sim package for the P-51 Mustang?

Have you run the latest updater from your Accu-sim aircraft here;

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I'm running FSX from the original package. I installed SP1 and SP2 to adhere to the instructions. When I click Shift 7 it begins to load the maintenance hangar and then crashes flight sim and I have to restart. I'm running an ASUS ROG with an SSD harddrive so i can't believe that my computer is incapable of running it, but maybe? The only thing i can still upgrade is RAM, from 16G to 32G. I do not know that I downloaded anything but the P-51 install. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks

And to be clear, i really don't even want to mess with the "hangar" but all three of my models have stopped functioning. The props bend and nothing will work. I have enough time keeping my real airplane flying, i would prefer not to have to "maintain" a simulation. Is there a work around?

Hi,

Your computer is fine (more than enough actually), don't worry about it. I have a lot older rig than yours and run fine P-51 from A2A on FSX.
The issue, you describe with the bent props. and broken stuff is pretty much because of not working properly SimConnect interface. It is nothing serious to fix. Just need to rerun a SimConnect.msi file to reinstall it.

You can find it here: http://a2asimulations.com/public/downlo ... onnect.msi



Regarding that (Shift+7), hanger access crash you did not mentioned if you have Accu-Sim package for your P-51. Here is a link from A2A store:

https://a2asimulations.com/store/index. ... 35305fe984

explaining what is Accu-Sim in general. Let us know if have it installed or not?

Will,

I tried the download you suggested and unfortunately it's still not working. Are you also suggesting that I need to purchase Accusim to be able to use the P-51?


Thanks,

Tom

P-51 works great without Accusim.

There is no Maintenance Hangar if Accusim is not installed.

So any ideas on why the props are bent and the P-51 will not function? They all worked when I first downloaded them now none of the 3 variants will work

Hi,

Try in the hangar Shift+7, if everything is broken and cannot be repaired, reinstall SimConnect.

SimConnect link:

Can you let us know exactly which products you are using, do you own the Accu-sim package for the P-51?

I just own the P-51 civilian and the P-51H. No accusim. Thanks. Really hoping to resolve this. The H model from the aircraft factory works fine.

Hello,

did you accidentally run the Accu-sim updater?

It sounds like you purchased the basic P-51 and not the advanced realism Accu-sim pack but ran the Accu-sim updater, corrupting your installation.

I went ahead and purchased accusim for it and this has not fixed the problem :(. Any more ideas would be helpful. I've got 50 bucks tied up in this thing and still can't use it.
