I am using FSX acceleration. To load flight I start flight sim once started I go to select aircraft choose B-17. Where to fly I go to flight planner make Up a flight then click Fly now then my departure airport loads up and I go from there.

Ok great. Can you tell me what happens if you skip the flight planning part and just select the B-17 and then an airport, then fly.

Also what is the saved 'default' flight?

thanks,

thank you Lewis. I found out that i bought base pack but never installed it. So i uninstalled everything installed base pack and everything worked but as soon as i installed the expansion pack will not work now did i do something wrong. i love the expansion pack very detailed.

Hi.
When you say you installed the expansion pack ,do you mean the accusim package after the base package, as A2A never did an expansion pack.

still do not know what I am doing wrong. I unstalled the B17 and accusim and reinstalled the plane first base pack the auto pilot worked then but when I installed accusim the auto pilot quit working.I am missing something here.And just to clarify when do i switch auto pilot on at what altitude.

Hi.
The autopilot can be switched on from 1000ft and any where above this , below 1000ft alt it will not give you enough time to trim it out for climb or level flight , and you could end up hitting the ground.

Hello,

which autopilot are you using, and upon reinstall since you did not mention it, did you delete the update folder and re-update using the latest Updater I linked too in my post??

thanks,
