Just to further add on to this issue. I have since tested this "fix" (restarting initial flight) on my second computer that had the exact same error and the fix works exactly the same. Also, another way of avoiding the error, without restarting the flight, is to change the aircraft from Airbus to an FSX standard plane (Cessna for example) and then back to the Airbus again. This also makes FS2Crew work the second time you load the Airbus back in.

Well, no matter. I'm just glad I was able to work out how to actually use it, odd though it may be. Least it does, eventually, work...lol Thanks for taking the time to offer assistance.👍

Worth mentioning as well... I've also tried changing the MCDU state to "Turn around" and back to "Cold & Dark" once it first loads, to see if it's something to do with the initial default state of the MCDU not working properly. (I already have set to "Cold & Dark" by Default though) Still causes the error. Only a Flight Reset/End Flight & Reload actually works.

Yea it's the Trike, Friday Harbor, fair weather, and the time I believe varies when FSX first loads. Then I change plane to Airbus, and the airport to a ground starting one.

To be clear, this error also happens when creating a free flight, not just a saved situation/flight plan. For example, if I set Aircraft:Airbus, Airport:Heathrow, Weather: Fair, Time of Day:1:00 pm and click Fly Now... (unless i'm misunderstanding things, that is not a "saved situation" right?) it will error the moment I eventually load into Heathrow and press the Main Panel key. Anyway, I've found a more streamlined way to fix the issue. If I simply Reset Flight (without having to End Flight back to menu first), then it will work the second time around.

I find this out by accident..because i accidentally forgot to set the airport to anything other than FSX default (Friday Harbor) and so I ended up loading up in the air..with the plane then going Cold and Dark...so I quickly quit the flight and changed the airport to one wher I was grounded to start with...I then pressed C and it worked! That's when I then repeated the steps to figure out why that worked...the restart.

I wasn't initially. if I choose Airbus, Airport,Weather and Time in the Free Flight menu and click fly now... Once it loads, and the airbus turns off (Cold & Dark MCDU kicks in)... if I then press 'C' (main panel key)...it shows the error dialog..followed by panels with no sound or sound car set/detected. if I simply do file>end flight..back to the free flight screen and just click fly now again..same settings... Once it loads again, and the airbus turns off (Cold & Dark MCDU kicks in)... if I then press 'C' (main panel key)..this time no error and it all works. No flight plan or saved scenario used at all. It's odd.

Ok I have found a way to make it work, although im not sure why it works this way. It shows that error and no sound from FS2Crew plays when I first create a flight/load a flight plan. If I end flight and start it again, it all works. No error, and the sound test works. It also shows my speakers in the speaker box, where as it says no audio devices found the first time. Always the first ever flight shows the error and no sound.

Ok I have reinstalled FSX....Same error. I closed all audio services I could find running....Same error. I uninstalled all audio sound cards from Device manager and restarted ..same error. I even tried a whole seperate machine that has FSX installed on a different drive letter and folder structure...exact same error.

I don't have either of those on my system. I am currently reinstalling FSX to see if that solves anything in the meantime. The only "sound" related thing running on my machine is "Dell Audio". I can see if finding a way to close that helps. It doesn't crash FSX. In fact, the first time I loaded FSX to try it i was in fullscreen and so the panel appeared but no sound played. It wasn't until I ran it windowed I saw the error dialog appear.

Hey, Can someone help me? I've just purchased FS2Crew Airbus Button edition on Steam for use with FSX:SE. When I press the Hotkey to open the main panel, I get the following error..followed by a panel that opens but produces no sounds when pressing any buttons. This is for use alongside the Airbus Steam version.
