Hi all,

  Brand new user of the T7.  Just installed, activated, and began to take a look before reading all the manual info.  Right away I notice that using the mouse cursor to click on anything does not work for setting up autopilot settings.  I do see what looks like a hand when I mouse over the throttles.  Do I just need to reinstall or is this an issue peculiar to me?

 

Thanks for any help.  I did try a search of this forum first.

If you're using the P3D or FSX:SE version, did you read the readme file in the zip you downloaded? It indicates that you need to install some simconnect files, and where to locate them.

 

If you're using regular FSX, submit a ticket at the link in my signature.

Hi Kyle,

  Thanks for your reply.  I just got the T7 and installed to P3Dv3.  I did read that file, but incorrectly assumed that if I had everything working ok in FSX and P3Dv2.5 that I must have the simconnect files installed already.  So, I went back and rebooted my PC, installed all 6 of the msi files located in /redist folder in the root of P3Dv3.  When I got to the 4th one (FSX-SP1) I get an error as follows:

 

I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled all simconnect installations listed there.  Then reinstalled them in P3dV3 (after another reboot of my PC).  I still get the same error msg when running the mis in FSX-SP1 folder.

Ignore that one installer then, and run the rest. How does the sim then respond?

Ok, I did ignore it and ran the rest.  A few more items respond now.  Some of the fuel and electrical switches respond. Autopilot does not, nor does the FMC.  Panel light switches work, barometer set can be changed.

 

I use the default Mooney for startup flight, then change to the T7.   All other aircraft in P3Dv3, including addons, work with mouse clicks for switches, etc.

 

EDIT

  Just did a complete reinstall but no change.

Complete reinstalls rarely ever do anything. It's best to continue troubleshooting without doing it (unless directed), as it also confuses the process. Submit a ticket at the link in my signature, please.

Hi Kyle,

  Problem solved!   Sorry I wrote up a ticket.  It can be ignored.  While digging around some more I found your Knowledge Base.   I had one of the error logging buttons active for one thing.  The other was I thought you only had to have a default aircraft loaded before changing to the T7.  By following the Knowlegde Base info on creating a scenario, plus checking that it always shows first when starting P3Dv3, I can select the T7 and all functions are working.  Thanks for your time and now I have a lot of reading and learning to do!

Glad to hear you got it solved!
