p40 does not start

Post by achimvdg »

Hi I downloaded the P40 but a/c wont start . I see when I switch to the maintenance hanger all is marked red but I am unable to activate overhaul engine, nothing seems to work, Pilot weight remains nil ( I cant change) and all the red tags cant be corrected.
Must I uninstall a/c and reload again of can something else be wrong also the inpuit configurator does not work I get error seems system can not load or find microsoft directX directinput versiion 1.0 2902 culture neutral public key token 31bf3856ad364e35.
No idea what this might be

Hope you can help me

thks

Achim

Hi Achim

As I remember from your 1st post you are running P3Dv5.1? If possible please give them more information like what is your default flight, info about your system etc. Please don’t uninstall unless asked to by :a2a: Lewis or :a2a: Nick.
They are the undisputed support masters so I’m sure they are able to help you.
It’s not a good idea to post your email address here as the forum is open.
Kind Regards
Tomas

Hello,

please can you confirm the platform you are using and also how you installed the P-40. And just to check the grabbed and P3Dv5 P-40 and not the FSX or earlier P3D version if you are running v5.

thanks,

Sorry for my ignorance but how can I reinstall, must I first uninstall the P40 through ORBX Central and than reinstall again ?

Hi Achim,

That's right, try clinking the "uninstall" button on the P-40 page in Orbx Central then restart your PC and reinstall through the same app.

Thanks,

Followed the instructions you wrote me, I was able to do overhaul of two items in the maintenance hanger but for the rest it does not work either. It should work or not ? Any files I might be missing ?

You should indeed be able to click on any red text in the maintenance hangar to fix broken parts. I wonder if something has become corrupted during the install process on your machine Achim? Please can you try deleting the contents of the "Documents\A2A\FSX\P40" folder and check if the issue still persists.

Please can you also manually run the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from the link below.

Hello,

the sound playback for Accu-sim is through the windows default sound device. If you have multiple devices you may want to check these are set correctly and the system default is turned on. Also under the Shift + 3 menu in sim you can turn the Accu-sim volume up and down.

Do let us know how you get o, we are here to help get you squared away and flying correctly.

Hi Achim,

Thanks for the updates. Please can you let us know what your default Windows playback device currently is? For example, are you using speakers plugged into the audio ports on your motherboard itself, or connected via a different method, e.g. DisplayPort?

Also, please can you check to see if there's an "audio.dat" file in the "Documents\A2A" folder? (this file is generated if the "Accusim sound menu" has been used). If there is, try deleting it.

Cheers,
Nick
