Malfunction with A330 in connection with Windows Vista

(1/2) > >>

EHM-1805 Stefan:
Hello everybody,

Actually I use FS9 for all EHM-flights. I changed to Windows VISTA recently.

Now I tried to install the A330-300 of the Euroharmony fleet. The installation process worked properly.....but when I try to use the aircraft in the simulator, I get the message "FS couldn't load some aircraft and software. You can still use FS, the aircraft will be disabled. File: GAUGES\A330.GAU"
Maybe somebody had the same problem and can give me some advice to fix the problem ;-)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
Stefan

EHM-1001 Robert:
This is a common error message if you have different version of softwares... like FS2002 panel under FS2004, or a WinXP optimized gauge under Vista ;)

Try to ignore the message, and FS will make a note for that gauge and will not ask it again. If you can run without ptoblems then you are lucky. If the game will crash, then you may need to install a different panel.

EHM-1805 Stefan:
Hi Robert,

thanks for your advice!
After confirming the error message with "OK" for several times, the simulator starts properly.
But: I can only see the frames of the panel. All displays remain black. So you can say, that the panel doesn't work at all.
You suggested to install a different panel. Where can I get such a different, VISTA proofed, panel?
Kind regards,
Stefan

EHM-1703 Philip:
I am running Vista with FSX though so of course I am using the default Airbus panel that comes with FSX.....

There must be a way around the VISTA issue as the OS should not have a problem with XP DLL's although I expect it would probably mean turning of UAC (User Access Control) which is a security feature of VISTA. You can try that!!!

Disable UAC instructions

EHM-1805 Stefan:
Hi Philip,
I already switched of UAC. I needed to do so in order to be able to start flight logger.
Shall I try to use the aircraft only in FSX? Can I use the same installation file for FSX? Or do I need to download another file for that?
Kind regards,
Stefan
