Problem with gps engine failure

Featured Replies

Hi,

I’ve been experiencing for longer time issues with gps engine failure. What basically happens is that once I start the simulation it’s ok until I start the engines. The GPS panel remains stucked, so I can’t use GPS.

It happend when I was using A320, but I tried different aircrafts and result was same. Has anybody dealt with this problem as well? How did you solve it?

 

Thanks for replies

You have corrupted flight plans and probably a corrupted Default flight!

Click here and delete all in there and restart the Sim.  Now create a new flight from your

Departure airport to your Destination. Some people say to delete all of your flight plans in

My Documents/Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder.

Now there is another problem, when I try to sweap all the flights, I can’t continue. Have a look. I delete everything, but can’t go to menu again or close the LOAD tab somehow. So even though I delete it, it remains there.

Did you exit the Sim?  Maybe reboot your computer, then restart FSX.

Yes I did. I deleted completely everything from My Documents/Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder but still no change. I start the engines and it remains in same position. I’d naturally think it’s corrupted aircraft, but when I select different one the result is same.

Next best thing I can recommend is that you type "FSX failure to load GPS_engine" into Google search and read all of the articles about that error.
