Simviation Forums

So I found Simviation a couple of months ago and I was instantly hooked when I started adding aircraft to FSX. I added a bunch and I started FSX and an error message popped up saying "Aircraft Initialization Failure Aircreation red". I wasn't bothered because I didn't like that plane anyway so I looked at my aircraft when it started and all that was left was my helicopters
Please help me with this so I can get back to playing Thank You!!!

When selecting aircraft, at the top of the aircraft window make sure you have all aircraft selected and not just rotercraft. Also, it's a good plan to load one plane at a time and check it out before loading more.

The 'Aircraft initialization failure...' message means that FSX can't find the aircraft required for the default flight.

As the red Aircreation Trike is missing and you have no other airplanes in the 'Select aircraft' window, it sounds like you may have messed up the 'Airplanes' folder. Maybe you've inadvertantly moved, deleted or renamed the folder.

Check your FSX install and see if you still have the ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\ folder, and that the installed aircraft are in this folder.

I am no expert on the matter, but I will say that sometimes its safer just to not mess with anything.

I would recommend you just un-install and re-install FSX.

There is no reason that I can think of as to why this would not work 100%. Obviously you'll have to re-install those aircraft; but it's sometimes better and more organized to do it that way, at least in my opinion.

Also, make sure you install planes one at a time like the other members have said. Check each one individually untill you have enough understanding and experience of the matter to where you know what to expect, and how to diagnose any potential problems when/if they occur.

Get back to us on this, I want to hear how it goes!
