Problem with Warwick Carter aircraft

[gtirob01]

I recently downloaded the latest release by Warwick Carter; the excellent T-6 package. I installed it and everything seemed fine. Shows up in my aircraft list, I choose it and start a flight. My flights always start in the vc, and this one was no different. Plane flies great, and the vc looks fantastic. Problem is when I switch to an external view, the sim just freezes like the comp is thinking, then I get a fatal error message, fsx has to close, bla bla bla. I tried this multiple times with the same result. Strange thing is I then tried Warwick Carters P-51, and the same exact thing happened. I used to be able to get external views with no problem on the P-51. Anybody have any ideas what may be the problem? All other aircraft work just fine.

Hi
Did you read the readme and do the commenting out the gauge to see if that worked.... thought I had this one licked

First question, do you have SP1 & 2?

I did do the gauge removal per the readme, but had the same result. Running SP2/Accel

Darn it ok all I can suggest is what I did with another user,
comment out all the gauges in the [Vcockpit01]
and see if the model works fine. If so go back and add the gauges 1 at a time till it locks.
In regards to the P-51 the only common thing that I can think of is the Glock gauge,that code been used in lots of aircraft but then again there are so many different system setups. Its not surprising the P-51 caused a lockup as there is so much in the mustang that would upset FSX/Accel.Or maybe your system hates my addons

I did what you had recommended and just by chance I started with the Glock gauge as mentioned being in the P-51 as well. Turns out removing that gauge worked like a charm! Have yet to try the P-51, but I have a good feeling that will be fixed as well! Thanks alot!

Hi
Glad you got it sorted,the gauge only controls the tail wheel lock function in relation to the joystick position.Must be a issue with your stick setup or some other voodoo,no biggie you will just have to assign a keystroke to the tail wheel lock and use that instead
