The A2A Simulations Community

Glad to hear that Dudley. Health is a precious thing, and so is the wisdom and experience you bring to our community.

Stay safe and I hope you are having fun with the new sim that's rolling out this week!

Just read the info on the main site. I didn't realise A2A had also made a UH-702 simulation for the military. Would love to try that. I imagine the military sims won't be available for a public audience though.

Looking forward to the Aerostar.

What a cool job. Get to log plenty of air time too. Nice.

Welcome Plugg. My first sim was Sublogic's Flight Simlator II (1983), and then a bit later Flight Simulator 4.0 for the Macintosh. I thought they were the height of realism then. I even made some hardware panels and practiced ATC calls (to myself, no online flying back then). Skip a couple of decade...

Hi Medtner I use the Flight1 GTN touch units, but it seems that the RXPs also use the same database in the Garmin trainer software. I managed to update mine to a 2018 airac, and it appears there is a 2019 one available now too. I found these threads useful: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/546935-...

Hi Nick Thanks for the suggestions. Good news - I may have found the culprit. The presence of the MV_WXM.dll file in the Modules folder reliably causes the electrical failure to occur. I guess this is the WX Advantage weather radar. I completed a few flights without this module, but with all my usua...

Thanks for the assistance. Also running the sim with controls unplugged to see what happens will help point towards where the issue is. Good idea. Again, however, no apparent change. I know we've tried disabling FSUIPC already, but as Lewis says, loading the sim session with all add-on software incl...

Thanks for these suggestions. I don't have any antivirus software running apart from what is in Windows 10 (Home version I believe - am away from the computer at present). I think I have tried completely disabling Windows Defender as part of my tests but I will try again to make sure sometime this w...

Hi Nick Thanks for your response and getting back to me. Yes, you are correct in that I have the P3DV4 version of Active Sky. My mistake there. On your suggestion I tried using the P3D key (I mapped to a joystick button for this test) for primer unlock. The effect was the same as using a left mouse ...

FYI - reinstalled the plane (3rd time) and encountered a loss of electrical power and dead battery after a few minutes of flight.

Hi Nick, Just wondering if you have any additional hints as to how we might get the primer working again. In the meantime I am using the autostart feature. Apart from the primer issue the aircraft seems to be working well. The primer appears to make a slight (10 degree) rotation of the knob upon a l...

Nick,

Re SimConnect messages at the top of the screen. I started having these with some of my A2A aircraft (Comanche, Cherokee and Bonanza), in my previous FSX-SE install.

Following a reinstallation of Windows 10 and then the purchase of P3DV4, I haven't seen those messages since.

Hi Nick

I have:
AccuFeel
FSUIPC5
Active Sky 2016
EZCAV2
FS Real Time (I haven't been running this recently however)
WXAdvantage (not configured to show with any of my A2A aircraft)



Thanks

Thanks for the detailed answers Aeschylus. I don't recall seeing this issue described before so please can you back up the entire contents of the "Documents\A2A\FSX\Comanche250" directory and then delete it to 'reset' the aircraft. Not a problem. Done. When you next run P3D, please can yo...

This indicates you have the latest version of the installer which checks for updates at the end of installation and adds the rain effects, etc. The rain effects are amazing :) Firstly, you mention circuit breakers so I'm guessing that you've made sure they're all reset? (For example the generator b...
