Loading with landing gear up

Post by TheDayMan »

Hello, I just purchased and installed the Comanche, when I load a flight I'm starting on the ground with the landing gear up. I've tried a few times, and only once I was able to reset it so it started new, with tie downs and landing gear down. I was clicking around the cold and dark/reset/used settings and don't know exactly what I did, and haven't been able to recreate whatever it was that did it. Any ideas?

Sorry if this is an issue that's already been addressed, but I looked around a bit and tried the search function, and couldn't find anything. Again this is happening after a fresh install, and I ran the most recent update as well.

Hi,

Did you install the latest Accu-Sim update found in this thread Accu-Sim Update 10_12_2017 DOWNLOAD?

I did install the update, I realized I hadn't after the first try, but it didn't solve the issue. I did save the flight when I was able to randomly get it to work, so I'm getting by being able to load that flight. I'd still appreciate any ideas so I don't have to do it that way every time.

The issue seems to be resolved. Clicked in the maintenance hanger thread and read that the default FSX flight shouldn't be changed. I don't know for sure, but I'm assuming that's what solved it. I deleted my saved flight that was set to default, loaded a flight with the stock Cessna, restarted FSX, and everything loaded fine.

Hi,

Yes the default flight should be left as it is. It is not preferable for FSX to load a complex airplanes initially as A2A ones.
I am glad that you managed to overcome this issue. Happy flying. :wink:

Hello,

yes you should never use a complex sim as your default flight in the sim due to load issues with first loads.

thanks,
