No effects with weapons

I just purchased the Weapons for FSX today and have run into some difficulty. I am running FSX SP2 and the game seems to crash every so often -  a heck of allot more than before (like 6 times in just 3 hours), Also, I can fire and launch the weapons, when it hits the ground I see the effect but if I shoot an airplane the airplane just drops down to the ground/water and stays there.....no explosions or fire.....or even smoke. Huh

I may be able to help.  If you are running your system on Vista or Windows 7 you have to "run as administrator" to get the effects.

If your on XP I'm sorry, can't help, good luck.

Do you have Advanced animations in Options > Settings > Display> Graphics > Global options enabled?

Thanks, this worked.....

Now, I can only seem to have weapons on a few aircraft......I install the panel on f-16, f-18, t-33, cessna 172.....bell206 but nothing. I opened the 2d main panel but the HUD is invisible and I cannot fire

Also, I can only align the target to shoot at the very top of the screen

I have had nothing but problems, currently I don't have any airplanes working, not even the stock leer jet. Some planes have hud, others do not, none have ammunition. I have downloaded the files several times, uninstalled, reinstalled and run the program as an administrator.  Undecided Roll Eyes

Search the Support Knowledge Base (I know it's not as easy as it sounds) for a possible solution. Try all that you find.
If  what you find doesn't help, submit a ticket and explain that you have tried the solution that you found, but that they did not work.
If you get an email and your ticket has been cancelled (they provide the KB solution(s) with it).  If you have/do try that/those ones too, and were unsuccessful, submit a new ticket explain they didn't work either.

When I manage to shoot down aircraft (on the ground and in the air) it just disappears into thin air. Is this a glitch or my PC?  Undecided

I have the exact same problem so I think it might be windows 7.

I don't think it is Windows 7 causing the problem because it's working fine for me and I happen to be using Windows 7. Wink

It couldn't hurt to try.
Is Advanced Animations enabled? It's found in Settings > Display > Graphics  in the Global options section.
