Well then chaps ive got it working again after nearly two weeks of not being able to use this plane it would not initialize when choosen in fsx it would install alright and activate alright though i dont know if this sorted it out and dont understand why if it did but the only change i did was to update my Realteck sound driver and hey presto i thought i would try again and install the plane and off it went no problem im really happy now that it did.cheersIain

Mysterious are the ways of the computer... there where guys here complaining they were having problems because they used an USB hub. What that has to do with anything, i don't know, but apparently, it does.

Hey, that's great news Iain! Now to enjoy it.
