Title: Can't get the C-130 to work Post by Tinman on May 10th, 2019 at 2:15am After installing the C-130,when I select the plane from the start up screen, FSX shuts down in seconds. I look at the help posts (one asks for he ABC code to show I've read the post but can't see a ABC code)… but can't get in installed correctly. I've done three uninstalls and reinstalls to no avail. Last time I installed the base pack, I wasn't asked for any activation codes... I was going to try the manual install rather than the online, but wasn't presented that screen. I'm on a new PC with Win 10, FSX. Any ideas on what to try next. The C-130 is my go to plane because I like the speed but it can land at the shorter runways too. I fly in the Pac North West USA. Thanks for any help, Mark |

If a complete reinstall does not help, then it looks like the product (which is 12 years old and built for windows XP) is not compatible with your new PC setup. |

well, that's disappointing. Anyone else having problems with Win 10?
Thanks Mark |

The C-130 X-Perience installs, and is working fine, in FSX, and FSX-SE on my PC, and in FSX-SE on my laptop. Both have Windows 10 Pro 64bit installed. Unfortunately, I have no idea why you can't install it, if you are following the instructions in the sticky posts in the General Support forum. :-/ Note. The C-130 X-Perience was copied from FSX to FSX-SE (not installed), on my PC. However, on my laptop, it was installed directly into FSX-SE. |

So are you saying I can try to copy the CaptSim folder from my old PC (laptop) to the new PC and it may work? I thought they needed to be installed because of something that might happen in the registry.
As I recall there was something down in the C:\Users area as well. I did a File Explorer search for "Captain" from the "this PC" item in the left window pane and I deleted What I could (most were web links and empty folders). |

No. That's not what I'm saying. That won't work because it has been activated on a different PC, so the registry/activation code will be wrong. I was just explaining that on my PC, I copied everything for the C-130 X-Perience from FSX to FSX-SE (once installed in FSX, I only got the Repair/Remove ooptions when I ran the installer), and it works by doing it that way. In Windows Defender, add the location of the csp131_1300.exe, and the location of FSX, to the exclusions list, then reinstall it, and try loading a C-130 in FSX. Also. Make sure that all the files seen in the attached image (there are a lot), are in the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_C130\panel folder. If any are missing, then that could be why the C-130 causes FSX to Crash to Desktop (CTD). CS_EX1_KC130\panel folder, there is a Captain_Sim.c130.tk.cab file. CS_EX2_AC130\panel folder, there is a Captain_Sim.c130.weapon.cab file. CS_EX2_C130\panel folder, there are the Captain_Sim.c130.anim.cab, and Captain_Sim.c130.awacs.cab files. Note. I suspect that the .CAB files will be there, but some of the .GAU files, in the CS_C130\panel folder, might have been removed by you AV, or Windows Defender. |

Mark, didn't see your message until now, busy weekend with grand kids!
So this is where I am with this... BLUF, I can fly the C-130 and it seems to work. I copied the entire C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder off the old PC and copied it over on the new PC and it works. The only thing I have see so far that's not right is the 4 engine gauges. When I first load the percent gauges move a bit, then go up100% and stay there. The engine sounds varies with my throttle, the plane behaves as I would expect, its just the gauges don't move. None of the engine gauges in the center move. I''l go back and look at your post more carefully. If I make the jump to FSX Steam, will this plane load into there, or do I need to buy another version? |

I found all of the files in the correct folders.
I guess it is more messed up than I thought. Also noticed the autopilot Power light up doesn't stay on, the nav radios don't seems to work and the HSI Just spins and the needle doesn't deviate. Probable other stuff I haven't found. As far as the engine gauges, I found the EICAS gauges and they react the same way... go up to 100 % and stay there. :'( This is sure a head scratcher!! |

I can't get the 130 to work anywhere near properly without re-loading it.

Markoz,
If I got the FSX Steam Edition, can I install the C-130 I already have in there, or do I need to buy another version? Do you think FSX SE will run the C-130, or would I expect the same problems? |

You don't need to buy another version of the C-130 to install in FSX-SE, the one you have should be fine. Quote:
To be honest, I don't know if installing the C-130 in FSX-SE will make any difference to the problem you have. |

Mark, I wanted to close the loop on my issues... the short answer is they are gone.
For a non FSX issue, I need to get the SSD OS and the second HD redone and everything was taken off. I put FSX steam back on and loaded the C-130 and its fine! Thanks for your continued support and tanks for making great products !! Mark Hansen |
