Hello, I recently downloaded this awesome aircraft but am unable to even start the APU! I was following the manual and it just seems the VC is dead. I can flick switches, also my joystick works with the aircraft but that's already all about it. Is there something I'm missing???

Where did you download from?  Maybe I can try it to be able to help you.

I downloaded it from a link on their forum. It's ver. 1.2 and the 1.2.1 patch. Thanks for helping me!

Sorry, but I just experience a bad infected download from the Project Tupelov Site! 

 

Luckily my Norton Security Suite took care of it and also running

 

Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware.  So I am done with the Russian sites

 

and wish you good luck with that aircraft. :unsure:

OP

 

There is a thread running here about this aircraft. Look it up and the OP there should be able to help you.

Ok looking for it, thanks!

Norton is quite rubbish, it might very well be a false positive. Some freeware installers do that.

Norton rubbish has saved my behind several times now!  I think I'll stick with it, thank-you!

Yeah maybe the newer versions are okay, it has been several years since I last used it.

 

Personally I'll stick with MS Security Essentials + Malwarebytes paid version.

Ok nevermind, I got it fixed reinstalled the whole aircraft and now things are working in the VC

 

 

MS Security Essentials + Malwarebytes

I too used to swear by this this till I read a respected tech magazine quarterly check on the paid and free AV programs, and MSE came last. Malwarebytes Pro version fared better than its free version. Needless to say, ditched MSE.
