Title: Nothing happens
Post by Sonoace on May 31^st, 2011 at 11:46pm

I recently transferred my data to a new computer, and I re-downloaded my weapons pack. But the HUD won't appear (the glass does, though), and it doesn't pick up radar, or even shoot. I need some help PLZ!

Did you re-load or do a proper installation with activation? That's what you need to do with all CS products.

I did everything. But I started all over again, and re-loaded FSX. And plus My main FSX User is not Admin. Maybe that's the problem.

Are you having any issues with anything else, or is this just a weapon problem?

If you are using Vista/Win7, I recommend that you allow all users "Full Control" of the CS Weapon for FSX Loader. That way everything should work for you.

Rick mouse click on the Loader (the shortcut in the Start menu should be fine), select Properties > Compatibility Tab > Change settings for all users (1). Then checkmark the "Run this program as administrator" (2) and click OK (3). Close the properties box when done.

Ok I did that. It should work now. Should I do that with my 767?

What you should do is, do the above for FSX. Hopefully that will get things working properly.

It still doesn't work. But the Hud appears on Shift+3, but only on safety mode, and still nothing happens.

well, I found out that the effects file was still in it's zipped format, so I made a seperate folder, same name, and moved it into the new folder. Now the only problem is that the bullets fire at about, ohhhh.....lets say 25-32 degrees (estimate) in the F-10 view of third party addons.

Thanks Sonoace.

I'm not sure why it's behaving like that with the third party add-ons, it works fine with the ones that I have it on.
As for the effects still being in a zip file, it sounds to me like it didn't install properly. :(
