Help!!
« on: May 02, 2007, 12:43:01 pm »
Just now I tried to install the panel for the Shorts 360, and everything was going well until this happened:

I installed everything it told me to install. Whenever I started up FS, it said that the new FSSound.dll I just installed may not work. If you want it to be compatible, click yes. I clicked yes, and FS continued to start. However, whenever I start a flight, the game crashes!

To check whether it was crashing because of this new FSSound.dll, I uninstalled everything I had just installed EXCEPT for the FSSound.dll and the game still crashes!

If the only way I can stop it from crashing is by deleting it and putting in the original file, could somebody please send it to me?

wierd, i always get that message, i click yes, but nothing happens and it just continues loading FS.

many times before i had this problem, it wasnt the FSSound.dll's fault, was some gauge in the panel:%

hmm, just found that it only crashes if I start the flight at Seattle. How weird.

Guys,

The problem is that it is an old module for FS2002 that many panel designers still use. There is a fix but you will need to edit your FS configuration file to tell it you are using old modules.

Follow these instructions.

This module should not cause your flight Sim to crash, if it does, there is probably something else that is conflicting with this FSsound module as I have just done a clean install of the file on my PC and I get no crashes after following the instructions contained in the link above.

Hope this helps.
