Sounds like it's just an issue with how your flight or the sim itself is being launched Andy, but please bear in mind there's only so much we can do to support modified installations.

Thanks,

Hi Andy,

The aircraft.cfg extract looks okay. As mentioned above, if a reload fixes the issue, it may be related to how your flight or the sim itself is being launched. However, as I say, because you've made changes to the installed files it's impossible for us to be sure what's going on with your system.

Do you use any external software to launch FSX, or do you just run it directly from a shortcut on the desktop or Start Menu?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi nick, no just a simple log in from the desktop straight into the default flight. I've removed the offending repaints and installed 2 different ones so will see how they behave

Okay, thanks for the update Andy. It's not the repaints themselves that are the culprit, but maybe the way you're launching them into FSX.

I'm just launching them as recommended, after loading the default flight first. Not sure why I'm getting the 'attempting to load a null value' box when I load the cherokee?

Hi again Nick
So i reinstalled th cherokee but still getting the same problems as before with the list of red items in the hangar and complete overhaul not working. I can solve it by loading a repaint that is ok, then loading one of the 'problem' ones after.
The thing is now for some strange reason when i click the yoke to make it invisible, the autopilot controls also disapear! This didnt happen before.
Any ideas please?
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,

If you reinstalled, you'll need to reupdate the Cherokee using the link in this post.

Before you do this, you should delete this file if it's present on your system:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\A2A\Cherokee180\Update_fsx\client.wyc

Thanks,
Nick

Hi there I have the same problem where I click complete overhaul and nothing happens to the red battery or any colour change to green. I am currently using P3DV5 I saw someone mention sim connect but I am not sure how to find it. please let me know if anyone can direct me to the correct post. Thank you.

I'm still waiting for a remedy to this. The only solution for me is to change aircraft to another paint.

Hi Jerry and welcome.

Please can you start a new topic (this one involves the old FSX disk edition) and give us as much info as possible. For example, please can you let us know which A2A product this refers to, which version of P3Dv5 you have installed, and any other add-ons which are running at the time?

Also, could you confirm whether you installed via our standalone installer or via Orbx Central?

Thanks,
Nick

Hello Andy,

Sorry, assumed everything was okay as we haven't heard back from you since May, but hey, 2020 was a pretty chaotic year for many of us so I can understand you've probably had other stuff going on. Please could you just update me as to what the current situation is with your FSX and Cherokee installation?

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick
I always load fsx with the default flight, when I then load a saved cherokee flight the aircraft has lots of red faults in the hangar and clicking on overhaul does nothing. The only remedy is swapping to a different cherokee.
There must be an issue with saving flights with A2A aircraft?
Regards
Andy
