Bill - The aircraft in question is the FS9 version. I do not fly FSX. My Flight Simulator is installed on my F: drive because my OS is on a very small (40gb) solid state HD. But I am running Windows 7/64. I don't think that there is another version of that OS. I will follow your advice, though, and uninstall the entire R4D/DC-3/C-47 package and start over at a slower rate of change. But the question remains - what would cause FS to be unable to load the R4D.gau file. I'm just curious.LAQuestion #2: Because I am an amputee I cannot use rudder pedals. Is it OK to alter the contact points (Line 0, entry 7) to allow control yoke tailwheel steering? I have done this on many other planes, without negative affect. Does the R4D/DC-3/C-47 CFG allow for this change?

I recently (and finally) got around to purchasing the Briefing Time v7 and R4D/DC-3/C-47 v10 packages. DL'd and installed with no problems. My OS is Windows 7, if that is germaine to this issue. Both models performed flawlessly until recently. I added a number of textures to my DC-3s and C-47s and A single one to the R4D. No big problems there, but when I went to load a DC-3 (Cargo) model the sim told me that it was unable to load the R4D.gau file and that is/was where everything just STOPPED! When this happens, my only apparent option is to restart the computer via the Task Manager. I tried re-installing the R4D.gau file manually. No Joy. I have perused this forum and so far have found just one reference, from richb, about this issue, but no answers. This freeze up occurs every time I try to load one of these models. I have altered the aircraft's CFG s only in as much as changing the texture portions of them. Where might I have erred?LAPS - Please forgive my spelling error in the post's heading. It should read: loading!

First off: I absolutely looove my Avenger! Two things I was thinking about the other day. 1. Are there editvoicepack files available for this aircraft? I know that there's a "Grumman" already out there. I'd be interested in "Avenger" "TBF"and "TBM" files. I have neither the equipment nor the talent or I'd do it myself. If they don't exist is anybody up for making them? 2. What about a second crew member for the Avenge? Small things, I know, but either (or both) would improve an already excellent sim experience. LA

Andersel, Anchorage I fly mostly GA (lots of old planes). I'm a big fan of round engines. Occasional forays in to tubes and mil (also old, 40's 50's and 60's). LA
