c172 download for FSX-incomplete plane

Post by giarc »

hello. my name is craig. I an new to this forum. I have been using ms2004 for a few years and fs2020 just recently. I purchased FSX a while ago but had computer issues and have just recently reinstalled. I was online and was on some training video where the person was flying your c172 a2a. I thought it was fantastic. I went to your website this morning and purchased the download for the c172. all went well until I chose this aircraft to fly with. it appeared as only a shell and the pilot hanging out the rear. there were no wings etc and pieces were circling around. it looked like it went through a transporter and reassembled inside out . I downloaded it again and still does the same thing. my system is windows 7. I use windows 10 on my other computer for fs2020. I don't really know what to do. can someone help me or if someone has had this happen then please let me know what you did to fix. my system meets requirements. thanks a lot.

Hello Craig and welcome.

It sounds like you just need to install the two free FSX service packs from Microsoft. They're currently hosted on FlightSim.com and you should install SP1 and then SP2.

Once you've done this, if you download and run the Accu-Sim update here, you should get a few extra features and fixes.

Thanks,

Good stuff, this is why we try to not close threads, and use forums. Means you guys can ask for help if you want or if you want you can also do a quick search yourself to see if you can solve it depending on how tech savvy a given user is 8)

thanks,
