A2A Accusim Spitfire (and other aircraft) in P3D v2.1

[shortspecialbus 13]

Has anyone had luck with the accusim spitfire in 2.1?  It worked fine in 2.0, but in 2.1 I can't load fluids or starter cartridges and it's basically unusable as a result right now.  I know it's not supported in P3Dv2, but I figured I'd check here if anyone had any luck with it.  I installed via EMT and have the 1.6 accusim patch.

 

I also opened a thread at a2a but the initial response was just a request to contact LM, which I guess is fine, but not really very helpful or likely to be fruitful:

Anyone have any ideas?

You should check the Master Compatibility List pinned in this forum for the latest information on compatibility.

 

Best regards,

It's in there as compatible, and wasn't updated since 2.0.  I'm asking about 2.1.

 

Thanks though!

Yes same problem. I flied the Spit yesterday just before installing the patch. With the patch installed I noted:

- The hangar window doesn't work anymore; before there was a tablet scrolling up with the plane status but now the window contains nothing

- Same problem with the fluid window. Cannot add coolant and oil and fuel (fuel can be added via the Prepar3d menu). The oxygen and compressed air still work.

- Some problem with Lua program but I will check that again with the new version of FSUIPC installed.

- The plunger to inject fuel for startup is not working either. I cannot unscrew it.

There's a thread on this on the LM forum.  There are apparently incompatibilities introduced in 2.1 with some of the A2A gauges files.  First plane I tried was my trusty Cub, and noticed that the prop no longer turns.  Most A2A and a number of other addon aircraft are affected.  I flew the C172, but it had weird issues on starting, and one time the prop was destroyed as soon as it loaded.
