CS Staff,
Thank you for the free gift of the Weapons for FSX v1.0.  However, now that I actually have my systems up and running again, I can't seem to get it to work; it doesn't work with the default Acceleration F/A-18 Defender installation at all either.  :-[  

1. The Installer & loader were RUN as Administrators in Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
2. The CSWeapon.dll was trusted and indicated FSX.cfg as such.
3. The CSWeapon.xml was configured as


Code (]        <Collimate>0</Collimate>
       <!-- VC HUD collimation. 1-yes, 0-no (1). -->
       <TestFrame>1</TestFrame>
       <!-- HUD test pattern. 1-yes, 0-no (0). -->[/code):

4. The Panel.cfg file has... [code][Window Titles] Window00=Weapon Control Panel Window01=HUD Window02=HUD Glass Window03=GPS ... //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1024,1024 visible=1 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$F18_A_GAUGE1 gauge00=FA-18!MFD, 450,4,440,440, 1 gauge01=FA-18!MFD, 4, 452, 440, 440, 2 gauge02=FA-18!MFD, 4,4,440,440, 3 gauge03=CSWeapon!hud3d  526, 515, 550, 550 //gauge03=FA-18!MFD, 578, 579, 440, 440, 4 NOSCANLINES

Here's what I've done:-

1. READ BOTH MANUALS.
2. TESTED repeatedly with what I've seen on these Forums and gleaned from the latest manuals; including resetting FSX's gauge trust requirements.
3. UNINSTALLED and RE-INSTALLED CS Weapons for FSX v1.0 and rebooted.
4. Checked to see if I have OpenAL installed.
5. Loaded it into other 3rd Party aircraft.
6. Loaded it into CS' C-130, B-52 & XLoad aircraft.
7.  Substituted the default Aircraft Panels in the Aircraft.cfg file(s) to be the Weapons for FSX installed on; from Panel to Panel.csweapons; and NOTHING seems to work.

Would greatly appreciate any further suggestions, as it is obvious that it is something else related to my system that I must be missing, Thank you. :D

BTW: I have it installed in Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit) with the latest SP1, etc. & FSX Acceleration, and Open AL.

Hi James.

Did you install Weapon for FSX as an administrator, by right clicking the csw001_1000.exe and selecting "Run as administrator" from the list?
Also, make sure you run the "Loader" (Start > Captain Sim > Weapon for FSX > Loader) as an administrator as well.
Finally, try running FSX as an administrator as well (Start > Games > Microsoft Flight Simulator X).
Either or all of these could make it work correctly.

Mark

Yes, Mr. Mark Fletcher, I did it all as you mentioned and indicated so when I stated "1. The Installer & loader were RUN as Administrators in Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
...
2. TESTED repeatedly with what I've seen on these Forums..."
So, if there are no further suggestions, I will now submit this in a support ticket (Ticket ID is 8351); thank you for trying. ;)

CS Staff,

RE: Ticket ID is 8351
Read through the KB articles without finding a solution so, I await your suggestions.
Thank you.

PS: I also, just updates FSUIPC to v4.80 even though it my or may not have anything to do with resolving it; but, just in case it does.  And, these problems started before this update which was only performed today.

James, the issue was with your Order Number (our fault). Please reinstall the Weapon with the Order Number we sent. We are sorry for inconvenience.

CS Staff/Ms. Tanya Kucher,
Mission accomplished, Thank you!!! 8-)

Hi Vampire.

Did you try the following suggestions from my reply above?

Here they are again:

Install Weapon for FSX as an administrator, by right clicking the csw001_1000.exe and selecting "Run as administrator" from the list.
Make sure you run the "Loader" (Start > Captain Sim > Weapon for FSX > Loader) as an administrator as well.
Try running FSX as an administrator as well (Start > Games > Microsoft Flight Simulator X).

Either or all of these could make it work correctly.

Hi Mark,

I tried all above, even a system recovery and several new installs of weapons for fsx and still no joy.
fsx is updated with the last sp's 1 and 2.
its just the same as James i think  :'(
Well,thanks for the response :)

Greets,

Ferry

No it is definitely not the same as for James. The problem is with installation.

Check-in to Your Profile > Product > Extended Download Service > Get New Links

Download a new installer (csw001_1000.exe) from the link provided and install it again. It is up to you if you reinstall it over the current installation (repair) or uninstall it and then reinstall it.

Another thing worth trying would be to reinstall SP2 for FSX to see if that helps.

Hi Mark,

A reinstall of SP2 and a reinstall of fsuipc did the trick  :)
All working fine now.

Thank you Mark for your response and helping out.

Regards,

Ferry

1) install using "Run as administrator". Right click on installer and select "Run as administrator" from the list that pops up.
2) Run the "Loader" using the "Run as administrator". Right click on the Weapon "Loader" and select "Run as administrator" from the list that pops up.
3) If FSX is installed in C:\Program Files etc..., then you might also need to run FSX using the Run as administrator". Right click on fsx.exe and select "Run as administrator" from the list that pops up.

Hopefully, the following image will help show you how to do that (see 1 on the image).

So that it always runs as an administrator, you need to right click on the item (Loader or fsx.exe), select Properties > Compatibility > Privilege Level > Checkmark the box beside "Run this program as an administrator" (see 2 on the image).

thank you very much but the problem is still there and when i go to get a new download it is nothing new the same when i go to download again it is the same link not a different one  :(

Each time you "get a new link" it is accessible to you for 72 hours. After that, you can't access it any more. All you are really doing is giving yourself access to download the product again.
Sometimes the installers get corrupted during downloading. It has happened to me, only once, and I know it has happened to others as well. So although the links are the same and the file is the same, have you actually reinstalled Weapon for FSX using one of the newly downloaded files? As well as using the method I explain in my previous post?

The next thing to try is to do a complete uninstall of Weapon for FSX, including the removal of the entry in the Windows Registry (KB #685). Then when you reinstall it, you have to reactivate it as well. Check-in to Your Profile > Product > Customer Support > Search KB or Submit New Ticket and do a search on #685 (without the #).

i definitely appreciate your help i went brought my laptop back to factory conditions reloaded fsx weapons for fsx did what you said and still nothing i am so ready to use it and i am still getting the same thing any other suggestions
