Hi Charlie.. Thanks for the reply. I sorted it last night (late) A while ago I had to do a system restore. It screwed up my SP 1 and 2. So I uninstalled SP 2..re-installed it and SP 1.. and ..Yo..fixed. Oddly, It didn't seem to affect other AC. (not noticeably anyway) Thanks for the trouble in replying. Glad The PA Airbus is fine..Really like them..Especially the FMC. Seasons greetings ZA :smile:

Hello.. I seem to have a problem with my Project Airbus aircraft panels (all versions of them) Basically..The top half of the panel is dead..Only the PFD shows... url=http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=372762Untitled.jpg][/url] The guys at PA have been really helpful, but we can't seem to sort this out..I've checked permissions etc. (W7) and checked if the files have been 'blocked' Not the case Any ideas please? Thanks ZA

Hello?

Hi.. I'm trying to install 'nvidia inspector' but as the title suggests, I'm getting this 7316 error. My GC is the GE Force 7600 GS...I read somewhere that this error occurs when there'a an AMD CC in the PC..Checked my 'Device Manager...not the case. I've used it before, but my PC crashed and I had to repair it...and re-install everything! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ZA

Hi.. Bit of a late response, but can someone please tell me if the C207 has an Autopilot in it? I'm thinking of buying it..that's important to me... Thanks ZA

Hi... I've got the same problem/issue with Win 7 and a re-install of FS., Was going to 'live with it' but I've discovered it's only with some aircraft. No big issue, but I'm curious as to why. Interestingly (well to me anyway) is when I go to the task bar (in flight) for: 'Aircraft' 'World' etc..the screen goes black, when I get the panel back. the cursor is black.. Thanks ZA

Hi Daveo Good Q..Actually, my issue was and still is to an extent the performance of my FSX since I put W7 in...doesn't seem as good as when I had XP. So I decided to have a look at trying to find out why...So, with my limited knowledge of things IT related I came across the 'missing' files..I seem to have sorted it, I think. :Thinking: Now I'm trying to get FS9 back to what it was...That's even more confusing :unsure: Thanks for taking the time to post Best Wishes ZA

Hi Joe.. Thanks for the reply and your time...The exe.xml, I think I might have sorted just earlier,read something and 'created' one..So far so good! :mellow: As for the simconnect..Not sure, I can't find it (don't know what I'm looking for) Again though, nothing seems amiss... Thanks for your time Ralph

Hi all... I'm using FSX & Windows 7: Was doing some checking using the XML File Tool kit and it came up with the alarming findings that I'm missing the FSX exe.xml and Simconnect.xml. To deal with the latter..I've got the simconnect.ini and I launched it and it says please "wait" while it "configures" There's a brief green 'progress' bar and then nothing...does that mean its worked? I can't find any evidence of it...but I'm probably not looking in the right place. As for the FSX exe.xml...checked with the thread here 'How to generate a new exe.xml file' and I'm a little confused as to the way forward...I've checked where it should be and can't see it. Read the part of renaming the FSX.cfg and then restarting FSX and a new one being generated...I don't Q this BTW, just a little unsure if it'll help with the problem here I've also looked at the option of a repair...my FSX 'box' sits here ready, but I'm not keen on that idea! :( Thanks in advance ZA

Hi Griz... Thanks for taking the trouble to reply..In the end a I 'bit the bullet' and did it..So far so good ...no 'refusals' do to speak. We'll see Thanks ZA

Hi all... Seem to be posting quite a lot of problems here at present, but keep bumping in to them after moving to W& and my re-build of FSX. Basically,. I used the really good kw_b732_panel_project.zip ... This is available at another place :blush: It worked a treat in my XP Kittyhawk B737-200's in FSX. For some reason, when I went to add these in my new W7 'supported' FSX...No joy..Tried all sorts but can't get the Throttle panel to show up, radio digits are missing, and there's 2 gauges missing in all versions..please see attached pic....I've followed the instructions as before too....Seems like there's something missing :unsure: <iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=894784E88DDC70E1&resid=894784E88DDC70E1%21335&authkey=AMYBIXJcCatPFoA" width="320" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> Hope I've done this pic correctly ..... :Worried: Sorry bout the quality of the pic..first time I've used this. The green lines show where the problems are though. I'd be really grateful for some help with this...I'm baffled Thanks ZA

:Whistle: Well..it'll keep me busy. :smile: .but good advice to "Trash" the old stuff too...BTW..'flew' through 'your' Airport...2 weeks ago ..as airports go..one of the best! Cheers and thanks for the help... ZA

Hi All.... Just installed Win 7 and currently re-building my FSX...Delightful it is too :rolleyes: Anyway, thinking of now re-installing FS9..BUT...Was looking where to put it..I want to avoid C:/ as that's where FSX is. Another option is 'Data Volume (E:) Thing is: a) Not sure what this is b)Can I use it for FS9? c) would E:/FS9 be OK? Tried to look into this in more depth and stumbled across some PC sites, these just confirm to me how dumb I am when it comes to IT! :blush: Thanks in advance ZA

Hi Jan... Thanks for taking the time to help.... You've 'hit the nail on the head'..I haven't..and I suspect I can't as that part of my FSX is no longer there....Didn't think of it at the time :blush: Looks like I'll be visiting WOAI again...Oh well... Thanks again ZA

Hi All.. I've just moved from XP to windows 7...and very scary it was too. :Praying: Managed to install FSX no problem..seems to be running OK...Until I decided to do the following: I'd saved all my AI AC in an external drive ready for putting back once I was up and running.....In my old system, I had these in another drive (E:/ I think) with a pointer in the FSX .cfg SimObjectPaths.7=E:\AI_Aircraft It worked well.... So I tried the same again...this time using C: Drive (E:/ Drive is called 'Data Volume E:' for some reason so not sure if it would work using that) No joy....Same .cfg entry too. So my Q is...do I need to re-install all of my AI AC (luckily I've got all the original downloaded folders) and start again? :Worried: Thanks ZA

Hi Mel... Thanks for your support. We just got our wires crossed...You've solved it thanks!! Between you sending me the last message and me posting this one...Did some more digging where I extracted the CAB file too..and VOILA! The Folder was there! Installed it into the UIRES Folder...fired up FS9, Success, Lessons CofF etc all there :Applause: Brilliant and thanks again for helping...Learn't something else today... Best Wishes ZA (Ralph)

Hi Mel... Thanks again for once more stepping into the breach and offering to help...Did what you advised.... Searched disk 1 MSGAME2.CAB for the FSweb Folder...I believe it resides in there...I used this to help me find it BTW.... http://www.cat-tamer.com/flightsim/faq001.html Opened said CAB File...No FSweb Folder...just a long list of jpegs, .gifs and some .html files Can it be that I create a 'FSWeb' folder and drop these in to it? Apologies for being slow on the uptake :unsure: Thanks ZA

Hello..ematheson Thanks for taking the time to answer... Next Q...How do I find them please?..I'm no expert at these things as you've no doubt guessed :unsure: I've got an awful feeling this might be not too easy to resolve! Thanks ZA Hi Again.. Answering my own Q...found said folder (Uires) and the links (Google Chrome html) mentioned. Clicked on them and got 'Files could not be found' Tried the same thing in FSX..no problem, went straight to where it should've gone...Something is clearly amiss here! Thanks ZA

Hello... "Sorry mate you appear to be off our radar!" Does that mean you can't help or is my question unclear? Thanks ZA

Hello All... Here's an odd one. I recently re-installed FS9 in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9... I open it, I add scenery, I create free flights, no problems.. I tried to enter (out of interest) 'Flying Lessons,' 'Century of Flight' & 'Learning Centre' and I'm getting the dreaded message: "This programme Cannot Display the Webpage" (for all of them) Can anyone tell me why please?..I've got FSX and there's no problem there. I've also got FS9 on my 'allowed' list for Firewalls etc...So can'rt be that... I don't seem to have problems with other internet access...Could be quicker, but that's where I live!! :rolleyes: Thanks in ad\vance ZA

Hello Guys.. Thanks for your time and sound very advice...nearly fell for the 'sales pitch' but didn't luckily. I'll try the links you've suggested. I've got to be honest. I realised that there are some risks with these things, but hadn't realised just how much risk. :Doh: I've read mixed reports, some had problems others didn't..But I've got enough here to be going on. Good advice indeed. Your support shows me why the flight simming community is so strong and supportive! :smile: As for the offending temp file, for some reason, it doesn;t like LSZH (Zurich) Which leads me to believe there's something amiss there.... Thanks again for your help ...and of course seasons greeting to you :smile2: Ralph

Hi Again Mel.. Well did a bit of 'digging' and found the offending file...C:\Docs & Settings\My name/local settings\Temp..there it was./is ..read up on it too.. e5d141.tmp Seems to pop up quite a lot. Had mixed reviews about what to do with it..some say OK to get rid of it...others say it's important for FS9..it's specifically mentioned in the world of simming, so it's not just me. Came across various programmes for cleaning temp files, used one of them, but it didn't pick up this one... So I know 'bout it, know the problems it causes, also know that my PC is "sick" as pointed out to me by a couple of programmes that did 'scans' and then wanted me to buy them to solve the problems identified. Now what I wonder..? Best wishes ZA

Hi Mel... Thanks for taking the time to respond and explain the possible problems. I'll do as you've suggested. Sort of started to check and investigate further. It is possible that I've got duplicates somewhere....It will be interesting to use the programme you've suggested too I've discovered that if left long enough, even though I'm told the programme is not responding..it eventually loads! (after a V V long time) I'll let you know the outcome Best Wishes & Seasons Greetings ZA

Hi All... Bit of an odd problem with FS9...When I start it, the programme kicks in no problems. I select a flight and it seems to 'stick or 'hang'' on the 'Loading Scenery Bar....' This only seems to happen on some 'add on' airports...The default Airports seem OK... I then use the ctrl+Alt+ Del to get out of the programme and the box with the status highlights 'e5d141.tmp'...Not sure what this means, but it seems to crop up when I get the "This Programme is not responding" message" It gets stranger though...a couple of times, I've had the "programme is not responding" and then suddenly... FS9 loads... I'm running: FSX Deluxe SP1 & SP2 - FS9: Windows XP Professional - 2.99 GB RAM - Pentium E6500 - 2.93 GHz - - Intel ® G41 Express Chipset. 0 - FOXCONN GeFORCE SERIES- NVIDIA GE Force 8600 GTS I'm at a loss with this issue, up until this point FS9 (which Installed after FSX and I'm preferring) worked perfectly..Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Thanks ZA

Hello All.. Hopefully this hasn't been asked before. I'm using FSX and I've got the Project Airbus A321IAE/CFM aircraft in there. Problem is that the contrails appear at right angles to where they should be...over and under the aircraft and not coming from the wings,,,,left and right,,, IIRC, there's a 'sequence' (codes just need changing around) in the .cfg file for changing engine smoke (from FS9 to FSX) and I suspect that this might be the case for this issue too Any help please..tried the confusing PA Forum..no joy there. Thanks ZA
