That's a negative. No failures showing anywhere. It is only the A2A 172 that is not working.

Delete your accusim logs, maybe delete your sim cfg, if using fsuipc, delete its cfg as well, then set everything according to rhe a2a manual, maybe try unplugging any controllers and uninstall any drivers for them

What addons do you use besides this plane

Yup it's all updated. I am using various ORBX scenery addons. I am not using fsuipc. I'll try deleting the logs and cfg file.

Let us know how it goes, you could also delete the update folder for the 172 to re-run the updater, but do the .dat's first. And remember to restart your system after changes.

Fixed!!!! So I went into control panel and instead of removing the A/C I just hit repair. Works perfectly now.

Yes. The ball does not move at all. The 'white bird' does move. I've checked the circuit breakers (all) though one is labelled "Turn Coordinator." That breaker says "on." I've replaced the vacuum pump in the maintenance hangar, though the tc is 'DC Electric,' so I doubt fixing the vacuum pump did any good. I've checked that "Autorudder" isn't ticked. Realism settings (or where the failures are) has nothing about the turn coordinator not working.

I'm not sure about the update. I did the update last February. I'm not aware that FSX-SE has another update for the C172. I did see "Prepar3d" does have an update.

I may try the "N7274H" the "plain white C172" to see if there was a trouble with the re-spray I've been using. I may also try a different flight, or an all new flight.

I have the Steam Edition of MS Flight Simulator X. There is the CH Eclipse yoke and MFG Crosswind pedals. I do not use any of the software for either the pedals or the yoke. "Advanced Animations" is ticked.

I think there is some weird stuff, but it's with FSX-SE, not Accu-Sim or A2A.

Hello,

Please can you let us know which aircraft loads with your default flight in FSX? Unfortunately using a complex aircraft which uses external code (such as the A2A 172) for this can cause problems. For this reason, we always recommend customers use one of the stock FSX/P3D aircraft for the default flight.

Thanks,
Nick

Yes. After having the A2A C172 as the default aircraft, I changed FSX-SE back to the "Air-Creations Ultralight Trike." The default flight is for "Friday Harbour." The default day is usually today. Default weather is "Fair Skies, a tad cloudy."

I did have the C172 as the default aircraft until perhaps about 2 months ago--maybe longer. Did that harm something?

Hi CH,

The best bet is for you to open a new thread and try and give us a much info as possible about the problem(s) you're encountering. You seem to be tagging replies onto the end of a few other threads which makes it a bit tricky to follow what's happening.

However, before you do this, please can you download and run the latest Accu-Sim update which is available here just to see if it resolves anything.

Thanks,
Nick
