After doing that, the aircraft you added the weapons to should work fine. If they don't, you might then need to run FSX as an administrator too. But hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Mark,

Thanks for your help, it works... all i had to do is open the loader with admin.

now im working on getting unlimited ammo. I'm trying to save over the CSWeapon.xml but it does not allow me, access denied... Do you know how to by pass this access?

Mark, i just realized that when you have the CSWeapon working on a aircraft it changes the orginal cockpit view. when i arm a aircraft with the weapon panel it ruins my cockpit views. any way to solve this problem?

Hi Eddie.

The only way to solve it is to edit the panel.cfg (in the panel.csweapon folder) yourself. I know this is not as easy as it sounds, but perhaps if you tell me which aircraft it is, myself or others can provide you with a fix. If I hasve the aircraft, I can tell you how I did it, or would do it, myself.

Well the panel is not really a big problem, another question i have is about the fire effects when hitting other planes. for some reason i dont get that effect. for example. while on a helicopter im flyin over the runway and there are planes taxing and landing. when i shoot them they seem to just disappear instead of exploding or catching on fire like the videos i have seen. Any suggestions?

Do a search of this Weapon for FSX forum. There is help with that issue you are describing in here somewhere. I remember seeing it. Wink

It's not available. We are hoping that with the next update, we will get the capability to drop bombs. There is a way to drop "bombs" using some of the mods available in the Free Liveries which is accessible via checking-in to Your Profile > Product > Get Free Liveries. The "bombs" are more like a missile/guided bomb I think. I'm not really sure how they did it because I never really took a close look at the mods.

As far as I know, it won't. It has nothing to do with FSX. It is its own Flight "simulator". I use the term "simulator" loosely because it is more like a game than a simulator. MS Flight looks great, though I doubt it will fill FSX shoes. I could be wrong, but we'll know on Feb 29th. Wink

I purchased Weapon for FSX today, did the installation as administrator, run Loader with administrator rights, nothing helps. The only thing I get is a white cross on a red field. Please help. YES --- I run with administrator rights... Angry

Hi Hugo.

As I said here:
Markoz wrote on Feb 11th, 2012 at 2:06am:
If FSX is installed in the default location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X) and you are using Vista or Win7, you might also need to run FSX (fsx.exe file) as an administrator every time you use FSX. It is highly recommended NOT to install FSX in the default location on Vista or Win7.

So it is possible that you need to run FSX as an administrator as well.
