FSX Not Responding on End Flight

I have done several searches on this and question if anyone other than myself is experiencing a problem in shutting down FSX after a successful landing, post flight shut-down and clicking on 'End Flight' (ESC) in FSX? It appears to be associated with the C172 and definitely not not with stock or oth...

Re: Beacon not working

Looks like it is a DX10 and DX11 issue. Mine is dead.... Who was it that wanted light bulbs that burn out? :|

Cannot tell you how many reboots were done....numerous. I can only say that this time it was a reload of the b...

Re: Shift + Number keys do not work

Hi Lewis.... Standard Windows 7 is DX11 and I don't think you can even back into DX9c as it tells you that the DirectX installed is more current. I have just finished doing another FSX and Acceleration REPAIR , reloaded C172 and AccuSim Core 1.5.2. I have patched panel.cfg for the 530 only GPS and a...

Re: Shift + Number keys do not work

Hi Lewis.... Ran SimConnect Installation yet again, complete with another reboot.... No Joy. In fact, no joy in the Cubby, the P-51 or the C172. Staying within the organization, tested the Shift + Number Keys of the P-40 and the F4U-1D (non Accu-Sim models) and all is fine there. Agree that it appea...

Re: problems with the pop up panels in the C172

Re: Plane body totally transparent from inside VC view

Scott.... Turned it ON. It was off because of an FSX & Accel reload in attempt to resolve other C172 issues.

Re: C172 install questions

Scott..... If I read this correctly, running the DirectX Installation is Not Mandatory , correct? The reason for asking is that I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed and when I try to run the 'Optional' (included version of 'dxwebsetup.exe) I get an error flag, even though I am sure that a loca...

Shift + Number keys do not work

Suddenly, after the installation of the new 1.5.2 Accu-Sim Core Update, I cannot see Shift # drop-downs for any of my A2A aircraft, however they do work in other non -A2A aircraft (i.e. compass, fuel panels, GPS units, etc.) What is seen in lieu of the Maintenance Hangar or other C172 drop-downs is ...

Re: Plane body totally transparent from inside VC view

Had the same transparent texture problem AFTER the new 1.5.2 Accu-Sim Core Update not only on the C172 but all of my A2A aircraft . Turned 'Preview DirectX 10' [ Display / Graphics / Preview DirectX 10 ] and resolved the issue for ALL A2A aircraft. Hint, Hint, ???? Have another issue since new core ...

Re: Another Seat Adjustment Question

Thank you Gypsy Baron, and my Crew Chief said double-ditto. Changed the eyepoint to:

eyepoint=-2.73,0.0,2.5

and placed his rusty diagonal cutters back in his grody USAF green tool bag. Problem resolved, and thanks again.

Another Seat Adjustment Question

I am not sure if this is a P-51-D question or an Accu-Sim for P-51 question, but here goes: First, I am not hung up on seat problems (previous question) I love the bird, but this minor issue bugs me. When I enter the bird, on a fresh start of FSX (Virtual Cockpit), my seat is not where I left it [bl...

Long Legged Fighter Pilots Not Welcome ?????

During pre-light all checked well on the P-51 (Military) ready for a short hop from KPIT (Greater Pittsburgh) to KJST (Johnstown). At 7000 Ft, I remembered about the fuel coming from the left wing tank and reached down to make the switch. Suddenly noticed that the little 'fickled finger of fate' (mo...

Re: Accu-Feel Sound Issue with Headsets

Thank you gentlemen. Lewis, your explanation answered the basic question in that it was not FSX. Dave, you were correct. I had to change the default 'listening' device, then everything went to headsets (my wife thanks you too :lol: ). Now, I have to add that to the post flight checklist because the ...
