Moderator: Please delete this thread. I reloaded everything and the checklists now work. Strange that all the other planes were working and the R4D and B-25 were the only ones that didn't - but hey, all's well that ends well!

For some reason, the Kneeboard checklists do not work in FSX for either the B-25 or the R4D. Both cause a fatal error and crash FSX. I can go directly into the aircraft folders and them open fine in Internet Exploder. On the R4D, the initial checklist that lets you choose version works directly, as do the standard and tutorial versions. I've tried changing security levels and turning off anti-virus, but no joy. Anyone run into this problem?

Bill, Thank you very much for your response. I'm pleased to hear the various repaints will all work, and that the other goodies are already included. I do believe however, that you are mistaken about the R4D read1st file. Perhaps I am somehow overlooking it, but I don't see any mention of the FSX SP fix. I'm really looking forward to the wide-screen panel, since I happen to have a wide-screen display. Thanks very much! In the meantime, I'm enjoying getting re-aquainted with the fabulous R4D. It has always been my favorite plane amongst all the planes and all the simulators. (and I've had dozens of them over the years). I look forward to learning to fly the B-25 "by the book" as well. Of course, the R4D has set a very high standard in my opinion. Regards, Mike

I just purchased the latest FSX downloads for BT (v7) and the R4D (v10). I've an old version of the R4D for years and really missed having it in FSX. Anyways - I have a couple of questions. The emails that gave the the download links also pointed me to the frre stuff links for both planes. Both of them have anFSX TRANSPARENCY FIX FOR SP2/ACCELERATION link. However, the one for Briefing Time says it's not required or compatible with the v7 download. What about the R4D? Do I need it since I downloaded the FSX version? I downloaded the users manuals and the scanned original manuals for both aircraft. Most of the other "free stuff" items for both aircraft seem to reference with FS2002 or FS2004. What, if any, of the items in free stuff are applicable to the current FSX downloads? Thanks Mike
