PT TU154B2 won't start

[armchair_pilot 54]

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:

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

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.
