middle replied to a thread Prop planes will not run in FSX General Discussion

I did every thing suggested...finally resorted to uninstalling which was a major deal and now I can't re-install...I'm about ready to toss this software in the trash. I have Win8...what a pain for reinstalling. I have deleted every little bit form the registry as suggested in the guide I found here...and still I keep getting this error 1628 cuz the damn thing will not reinstall...I set up anther user account..it still won't re-install. I have to say, FS9 and XP was a great setup...this computer runs FSX great...I don't know what happened but I guess I'm learning things about it I di not know till now. I've been at this all day with 0 results... I understand about saving the default flight...but I can't get the engines running. Anyway, I have un-installed FSX for the moment. Now if I can figure out how to re-install it, I'll be amazed. I don't know why the guys at MS had to make the newer machine be so damn complex to do a simple task. I bought the sim and the computer and should be able to do what I want with both without having to go thru all the aggravation.

Thnaks, guys....I'll try all of the fixes till one works. middle Yes the cntrl-e works but the engines will not fire....the odd thing is that the Cessna turbo does stay running.

middle started a thread Prop planes will not run in FSX General Discussion

Hi all...all of a sudden none of the prop driven planes in my FSX will run, which is to say the motors will not fire. The copters are fine and the jets are fine. I'm pretty sure I haven't changed anything crucial. Anyone else ever have this problem? its a new install and I guess I can re-install if I have to. I'm liking FSX overall, although it took me a few years to get a computer that would run it well. I didn't do any simming at all for the past year and finally have the need to fly around the living room again for my own peace of mind.

Yeah...that looks scary...but still safer than being a police office in a number of large US cities I can think off. Tim

OBIO replied to a thread Static Pitch or......??? in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Check the placement of the rear contact point....sometimes they are set well behind the actual tail wheel....and will prevent the plane from having the angle it should have when resting on the ground. Tim

OBIO replied to a thread How large is your sim? in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

I have five FS9 installations......together they come to just over 100 gig of hard drive space. All of my planes have their sounds aliased to a dedicated sound pack folder that sets outside of any of my installs. All of my scenery and mesh files are also outside of any of my installs....nice clean folders set up so that all of my installs can be linked to them. Tim
