evening everybody,Tonight I have installed the MD11 boxed version in Fs-X.Installation ran ( with administrator rights) as expected and I installed one livery.After the installation I started Fs-X and I got the usual (and expected) warnings about the new dll's and if I wanted to accept them as safe.I did and fs-X started fine.However, when I got into the cockpit of the MD11, I only got the contours of the cockpit but no textures, no gauges.In fact there is also no pulldown menu for the PMDG aircraft.Shutting down the sim and restarting did no good either. Rebooting the PC did not make any difference either.When I tried to start the loadmanager I also got an error stating " the program could not be started because the configuration "side by side" is not correct.Whatever that means....?A bit more info:I am running Fs-X on windows Vista ultimate 64bit.Processor is an E8500 OC'ed to 4.02 Ghz with 4 Gb DDR3.all info welcomeLuc BrusselmansBelgium

I am only guessing, I think you might have a problem with the C++ runtime modules. There should be both 32b and 64b Visual C++ runtime libraries installed by the pmdg installer. Try running the installer and select repair and see if that helps.

Dan,I love your guessing.I had installed the runtime libraries manually last week so I never thought that could be the problem.Anyway, I removed the manually installed libraries and let the pmdg installer do its work.After that all is well again.thanksand by the way, I appreciate your work on the navigation database.Thanks againLuc BrusselmansBelgium

Dan,All is NOT well it seems because now I can't start FS-X any more.Guess what, I get the same errorcode as with the pmdg loadmanager....So I am back at square one (or worse).I will try a repair later today but I have no high hopes but to do a reinstall of my complete simulator...Luc BrusselmansBelgium

Luc, maybe the problem is with the trust dll xml file in fsx. Please see the articles on this issue in the PMDG Ops wiki page at their web site. Hope it helps.

Luc, digging around I was able to find another with the same/similar problem - don't know if this will help or not but I'll paste it here.----------------------------------For some inexplicable reason (adding or removing another program in Windows XP Pro/Vista) FS/X will suddenly slow down, stutter, or Crash to Desktop.A quick check of the 'Event Viewer' will show "SIDE BY SIDE" error event ID 59.During installation of FS/X, it installs a C++2005 Redistributable; and this is the part that gets 'corrupted' or 'unattached' (haven't found out why yet)The fix is at Microsoft - download and install 'vcredist_x86.exe'Hope this helps someone.------------------------------------Linkage - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=enJohn Ellison

John,you're right.After I discovered the second problem, I traced back my previous steps.In fact I removed (uninstalled my C++ redistributables that I had installed manually) before I tried a reinstall of the MD-11.Thought I wouldn't matter because the installation of the MD-11 would reinstall them anyway.It seems that I am wrong. It's obvious that there are two different versions of the C++ redistibuatbles (the 2005 version with sp1 and 2008 version, also with a sp1).I tried the reinstallation of the C++2005 and all is well again...I am happy again...Luc BrusselmansBelgium
