i downloaded this and updated but the system crashed everytime i loaded this???

[Mtnbiker29er]

Yes! I am having the same problem when using this upraded cockpit. On single player i can get in game, but then when i exit out it crashes fsx. Also on multiplayer i cant even get it to load up in game because it crashes upon loading it up to the game. Any help?

[U4EA]

OOPS!  I get the same thing on exit.....a fatal error then FSX restart.

Any ideas?

This is a quote from the readme.

-1- GPWS:
This new cockpit includes a GPWS system. I have noticed that the gauges of the GPWS cause a crash to desktop when you try to end the flight, or when you try to quit FSX, or even when you try to choose another aircraft. However, the airplane and the GPWS works well inside FSX, even if you navigate through menus for weather or map or stuff like that, so you won't get any issue during a normal flight. Nevertheless, if this problem is too bothering for you, you can simply remove th GPWS gauges from the panel folder of the 737, this will solve it.

People should read the readme more often.

Sorry guys I couldn't test it in multiplayer, so I didn't know the problem would be so dramatic there.
In normal "free flight", the crashes should happen only when you try to get rid of the plane, that is when you try to end the flight, or kill the game, or change the aircraft, as stated in the readme (thanks Andy ).

The GPWS, for those who don't know, is the system which produce the voice that says "forty, thirty, twenty, ten..." or other things while flying. It's a cool feature but not mandatory, so you can disable it easilly by editing the panel.cfg or by renaming/deleting (I advise "rename") the gpws.... folder in the panel folder of the 737.

Gosh!!!!

[U4EA]

I'm not gonna remove it, way too nicely featured!

As long as I know what to expect when getting out of it then I don't mind the crash restart.

Sometimes I read the instructions for stuff.....not too often though!

hi thanks for the info. whilst i appreciate what your saying and understood. i cant even get the aircraft to load before it crashes therefore am unable to use at all. my default ac is a 747 so when i go to load the 737 it crashes immediatey.

[Daube]

You get a crash directly from the Free Flight creation menu ?

[andy190]

Daube, from what I read in the GPWS readme it doesn

[Daube]

There might be a compatibility problem indeed, however that doesn't explain why he gets a crash upon aircraft selection, while all of us get it only at the end of the flight :/

I know and understand, some poeple work very hard for all us simmers and we thank you for the hard work.
But why put something on for people to download when you know it's going to crash.
Most of my 737's have disappeared and now some of the gauges don't work after restoring back.
And you want us to donate money for this, i think it should be removed from the site.

And I think you should learn to read.
We knew about the crashes and we verified they appeared only at the end of the flight, so we put an explicit warning about this in the readme.
We also put a restore program in the archive
We also advised to make a backup copy of the 737 folder.
We also advised to simply remove the GPWS gauges from the 737 panel folder to solve the crash problem.
Hard to do anything more than this.
