Re: How to update your Accu-Sim products

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I have haunted these boards! My daughter (18) has recently decided she is in love with the P-51 Mustang I told her she needs to try the A2A P-51D on FSX. It was always my favorite, but I've not run it in a while. She ran through the startup checklist with ...

A6M5 Reisen

I was browsing through the list of aircraft at the Planes of fame museum (and honestly crying when I saw the Goodyear blimp gondola...) When I saw the A6M5 Reisen. I had totally forgotten that they had the only fully original flying example! So hard to believe that such a famed aircraft could dwindl...

Re: FSX CTD nightmare

Wow ok, that did it. I had a sinking feeling it was going to be that small thing that didn't make sense till it worked. The direct X 10 preview seems to have been the issue. I never usually even bother with that setting. Thank you, now I can get back to flying :D

I launched the Trike from the main screen in free flight. it crashed on fly now. Here is the event log. Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, ...

Re: FSX CTD nightmare

I was trying to avoid buying the program again as I bought the DVD + Acceleration pack only last fall. If it comes down to it I suppose I will have to but it's frustrating that it just won't run. I can get programs from 1986 to run on my computer, but not FSX.

Re: FSX CTD nightmare

Alright I found that particular UIAutomationCore.dll file and placed it in the FSX main folder. I am still crashing on fly now button. I did get Acceleration to run a while back, but I had to call Microsoft to get the CD Key to take as it was not giving me the option to enter the key and so FSX was ...

Re: FSX CTD nightmare

I just did a repair install again. Without touching anything else I clicked the default FLY NOW with the ultralight trike and the sim started up and ran. I floated about for a minute or two and then hit escape to end the flight. The screen went black and after a few moments I got a Fatal Error and t...

Re: FSX CTD nightmare

yes I have removed the FSX.cfg file and restarted with the same issue.

After a repair install FSX ran normally, but crashed after i loaded up the A2A aircraft with the latest update installed. Should I load the aircraft, exit out and then update them?

FSX CTD nightmare

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I was really active with my flight sim, I'm an aircraft Mechanic and as I was having a hard time finding work I found that I was getting depressed and started avoiding my FSX and other aviation interests for the past year. I've finally found a job back in the in...

Re: New Captain of the Ship Aircraft + 50% off COTS this wee

Thrilled to death to hear the 377 is getting some TLC! Can't wait to see what other transport category aircraft you have under the sheet so to speak. I mentioned in a previous post that I was crossing my fingers for another big transport style aircraft. :D

Re: Dovetail announces two new Flight Simulators

So they do mention that due to new frame work FSX content won't work "Out of box" Here is the quote I'm referring to: "We are committed to developing a cutting edge flight simulator which takes full advantage of modern PCs. We are in this for the long term and intend to support and ex...

Yeah big difference after adjusting these. Feel dumb for not thinking of adjusting these sooner, only been using FS since FS2000....

Aircraft to be Restored for BoB Remake?

Hey, I strolled through the forums and didn't see anything on this ( I hate using my phone to browse any site btw).

Has anyone see anything on this before? Even if it's bogus, it would be awesome to see these aircraft back in the air. :D
