Christen Eagle II gauges not working?

Postby jasonfriedlin » Fri Jan 16, 2009 3:02 pm

I recently got a new computer and was getting everything in order on the new setup.  I have FSX Acceleration, same setup as on my other computer, installed all my favorite airplanes but the gauges on the Christen Eagle don't work.  

http://www.simviation.com/fsxprops18.htm

I had this same problem when I installed this particular airplane on my buddies computer.  I don't understand why it works fine on one, but not on the other.  Both are FSX with Acceleration and both systems are running Vista.  I even went as far as to copy the one off the old computer to a flash drive, delete the one on the new computer, and put the one off the old computer on it that I know works fine, but no, no gauges at all on the panel.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I should mention I've tried every FSX version of the airplane on the site, and none of them work properly on my system.

Thanks,
Jason

Also, the prop on my Spartan Executive is a solid black circle when the engine is running on this new computer, worked fine on the other on too.

Not sure about the gauge problem, but for the prop fix see here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1232019712

Thanks for the tip Shane, I'll give that a try and get back to ya.  If anybody has any idea about the gauges on the Eagle I would be very grateful for that too.  That is probably my favorite airplane in my hangar.

No luck on the prop fix.  I did exactly what it sai but it looks exactly the same.  Tried all the prop textures, still a big black circle.

I have the planes and found they are not compatible with Accel.
Let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and
an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight.

There are patches that make the LICE compatable with FSXA. I didn't install it in this latest rebuild of FSX, but if you search at Avsim you should be able to find the fixes for the props and gauges.

I'll check that out but I swear they both work perfect on my other computer with the same sim setup.  Thanks for the help.

Try these

CE FSX Gauge fix

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/st ... 61&page=22

There is a version of the CE that should work in SP2 ... not sure with Acceleration added ... but it is worth trying

I tried both of those with no luck, but good news.
