P-51 Civ issues

Post by Oleander »

I have been trying to get the civilian version of the P-51 to work for a couple days now. I bought both military and civ versions together and installed the files for each at the same time then installed the last update. The military version opens and flies without any issues. However, anytime I try to open the civ version after the last update, I get a missing files error. If I try to open it without the new update, the engine won't start and none of the accusim sounds will play. With the update, everything in the repair hanger shows broken and can't be fixed and none of the fluids can be refilled.

I've tried removing all the files and starting over but so far nothing has worked. The military version is working fine, but the civ is always broken. Not sure what else I can do.

Hello Oleander - welcome to the A2A forums.

Please can you let us know which version of the P-51s you're using? Is it the versions for FSX or the ones for Prepar3D v4?

Thanks,
Nick

Okay, thanks. And one other question: did your download include the separate Accu-Sim expansion pack for the P-51s? If you purchased from the new A2A store, this will automatically be the case.

Best Regards,
Nick

Hello,

after installation did you run the latest Accu-sim updater?

Yes, it had the wop3_51_civ and accusim files.

@Lewis, I ran the updater as well, the only thing that changed was on launching a flight I get 2 errors. First one says "Can't load file" second says "attempt to call a nil value". The same thing happens to the Military version.

I'm going to do a clean install with new installers in case something corrupted during the download and see what happens.

I removed the files and downloaded new installers. Still no sounds for switches or lever. The only thing that can be heard is the engine on startup. I did notice that if I flip the starter switch before everything is setup, it automatically sets everything including lights like it is some sort of auto mode. Not really sure what to do at this point other than completely reinstall FSX. I have the B-17 with accusim and it works just fine, so no idea what's going on I'm sure its a conflict somewhere.

Hello,

If you go here on your system;

\FSX\A2A

You will see folders relating to the A2A aircraft you own.

Can you please delete the two P-51 ones and then perform a reinstall in this order;

P-51 Military
P-51 Civ
Accu-sim for the P-51
Latest Update; https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewto ... 94&t=57819

Then restart your system
Open Flight Sim X
Start an entirely new flight (not a saved flight)

Let me know how it goes.

thanks,

I did a complete reinstall. Installed each P-51 then the accusim files. I tested them at that point, the Military version worked as expected, civ version would run but no sound on any switches except for the canopy and engine, but it was working. Installed the latest update and get the same file errors again.

Whats your default flight set too?

Have you tried a re-verification in steam of your FSX Files?

The latest Accusim patch seems to have fixed all the issues.
