I too had the problem with the lack of altimeters, this is obviously a fault in the program. See the post about lack of instruments to learn how to fix this. I think the FSX download of the R4D should be withdrawn until this is fixed.

Hi Doorstep, I bought the download version from The UK a few days ago and it worked with no problems. The dificulty I have had is with the programming, see above.

Hi Knud, this appears to have worked, thank you. Steve

Thanks for that, I will try it. I was beginning to think this was a dead forum! Steve

I am disappointed not to receive any replies to my request for help. Do the Maam administrators no longer look at this forum?

Hi Guys, I bought the R4D yesterday (having previously bought both earlier releases on cd-rom) and have similar problems using windows 7 64bit with FSX in default location. I HAVE got altimeters in the R4D-6 in both VC and 2D but not in any of the other aircraft's VC ie only in the 2D panels. Having looked in the panel file for each aircraft, all the models have their panels aliased to the cargo model so logically this is where there is a problem. Having opened the panel file and compared it to the one in the R4D the only apparent differences are as mentioned above ie one entry is altimeter and not altimeter1, and the final altimeter entry is missing no 2. Easy I thought add the numbers. I tried this in notepad and my system will not let me save the changes, I keep getting "access denied" when I try to save. Does anyone have a solution to this as I am not a whizz with computers? I have to say that I am extremely disappointed to pay $30 for a product that does not work correctly, and if this were a commercial organisation I would be making more of a fuss. Having read the previous posts, to me this means that no-one is working to correct this problem and we are on our own. If anyone can help me make alterations to the panel file I will be very grateful. Steve
