Its hard to say for sure, as this is not a problem we have any experience with. However, in your Windows error it lists the sound driver for the 337. What you describe sounds like you have a Direct X sound error, where Windows is trying to run the sound associated with one of the panel switches and is encountering an error. This could be cause by one of the following: 1. You have a problem in your Direct X environment, such as sound drivers, etc. 2. The sound driver is not present on your system. It should have been installed with the files, but may have been removed for some reason. The file is called Ckpsound.dll and should be located in your root Flight Simulator directory. 3. Your operating system will not allow the sound driver to load due to security permissions or security software installed on your computer. You can turn the sounds off using the Load Manager (make sure to press "Save"). But it would be best if you sorted out what the Direct X problem is. If you continue experiencing problems I rerecommendou contact us directly via our support page at http://www.fsd-international.com/support/techsupport.php. You will get much faster service that way. I hope this helps.

Yes you can modify it using FS Panel Studio just like any other flightsim aircraft.We have dropped our previus nightlighting scheme for the 2D panels because we realize that this was being more of an inconvenience than a feature. While it is possible to get much better effects for different times of day by building the panel bitmaps into the gauge pack, the system FS X employs is really not that bad, plus it is much more problemmatic displaying bitmaps from the gauge pack compared to previous versions of FS. So from now on we will be using the stabdard FS X day/night panel bitmap system.

We do offer a full refund if you just purchased the software are not satisfied with the product.As far as your download speeds I cannot comment on that. This is something that is really not in our control. Most people have no problem at all connecting to our server and downloading at good bps rates. Connectivity between any two sites on the Internet can sometimes be problematic and has existed since the Internet began, and it is not necessarily the fault of either party. So it is really not fair to suggest otherwise.

You can download this patch here:http://69.13.144.131/product/files/FSDevV35BSR.exeSend up a flare if you still have problems. I will be around and checking the forums all day tomorrow. If you have not registered at our forum yet feel free to do so. I may see incoming support inquiries faster there.

There is a standard for the way tooltips are created in Flight Simulator, according to the published SDK, and those on the Cessna 337 are no exception. They are standard FS gauges. As several people have pointed out, this is a common problem with previous designs that have been ported into FS X. It is not a gauge programming issue.We continue to sell the Cessna 337, and the others, because many people still want them and have them work in FS X. They do work quite well, as is the case with a lot of port overs, but there are some minor display issues such as this which can occur.

It is crashing when you are trying to load it in the simulator? Let me know as I am sure I can help you with this. I used Windows 7 64 bit all during the development process, and it was tested on several like computers. The plane is fully compatible with XP, Vista and Windows 7.

We have not heard of a lot of frame rate issues with the Commander, but results will always vary between system and how you have your FS display parameters setup.But I can tell you that you can buy it at no risk. If it does not work out for you for any reason we will gladly refund your purchase.Tim DickensFlightSim Developers

Tom,This is new forum software for us and we are not really familiar with all of the options yet. Our previous forum did not allow for validating email addresses, and it seems now that this one does. So if your email address is valid that is really all that is needed. If you register again you should not have a problem.Tim DickensFSD

Our apologies if we were being rude. We were simply trying to protect ourselves from spammers, which is a legitimate concern to anyone running a forum. Most forums these days, including this one, require complete information when registering. However, we don't want to seem unreasonable and are looking into an easier way to implement the registration process.Tim Dickens
