767 issues!
May 18th, 2012 at 6:08pm
Print Post  
I am new to CS products. I bought the CS 767-300 base pack but am having some issues that I just don't seem to be able to solve. I installed the aircraft in FSX.
When I load the 767 all the panels are blank (Black) and the windows are open. I have tried closing the windows but all I hear is the window sliding shut but it remains open.
I was able to start the aircraft but the panels are stick dark. I Aligned the IRS but the panel and window issues still remain - Could I have any help please. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
Greg

Usually loading a default aircraft like the C 172 before will allow the CS products to start up properly. Try doing that then loading the 767.

Reinstall the CS 767 if that doesn't work.  Wink

I normally load the UltaTrike first always and then connect to VATSIM and then I choose my aircraft of choice and it still loads up with windows open and panel black!

I am busy with a long haul at the moment but will try and uninstall and re-insatll it later and report back!

Thanks for the reply!

I have just uninstalled this AC and reinstalled it and I am still having the same issue!

There has to be a simple solution to this. It is a direct installation from CS site!

To get it installed and working, try the following:
1) Install it using the Right Mouse Click > Select "Run as administrator" (Vista/Win7 users), select Repair from the options (Repair or Remove are the options).
2) Turn of your Anti Virus software (especially if you are using the latest version of Avast free, it will not allow the file to install/uninstall correctly) it might be preventing you from installing it correctly.

If doing the above doesn't work and you are still having problems, try the following
1) Do an OFFLINE activation (the installer guides you through it, so it's easy to do)
2) Do the FULL uninstall as described the KB #685 (this is the last ditch effort to get it installed correctly and requires removing the CS767 entry in the Windows Registry)

Sorry Greg. I did not know you were a "not so savvy" PC operator. Sad

Just let me know if you need a more detailed set of instructions. Wink

I have done (with help from some PC savvy guys) as you suggested and I get the same problem with black panels and open windows.

I just spoke to someone on my VA I belong to about this issue and he helped me. But I am still getting the same results!
The person I spoke to has just purchased the CS767 that I am having problems with and his is working fine!

So I am out of ideas!! -- CS767 does not like my computer  Cry

Did this include the complete uninstall of the 767-300 Base Pack? If not. here is how:

1) Uninstall the Captain Sim 767 (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs for WinXP) > click on 767 Captain (767-300 Base Pack) to uninstall.
2) Go to [FSX]\Captain_Sim and make sure that the 767 folder is not there (delete it if it is).
3) Go to [FSX]\SimObjects\Airplanes and make sure that the CS_B767-300 folder is not there (it will still be there if you added any Variants), I recommend that you delete the CS_B767-300 folder if it is there.
4a) Vista/Win7 - Start > type regedit in the search field > Right click on regedit and select "run as administrator"
4b) WinXP Open the run command (*Windows Key+R) > type regedit and then click OK
5) Once Windows registry is running, in the left pane, select HKey Local Machine > Software > Wow6432Node (for 64bit OS otherwise skip this one) > Captain Sim find the 767Captain (folder) entry (see image below), select it then delete it (click on yes when asked if you are sure you want to delete it).

You have completed the full uninstall of the 767-300 Base Pack. If using Vista/Win7, right click on the installer csx767_1500.exe and select "run as administrator" (for WinXP just double click on the installer). You will need to activate the 767 Captain again because you deleted the registry entry, so do that. Once the installation is completed, start FSX and see if the 767 is working correctly.

*Windows Key. This is the key between the ALT and CTRL keys (bottom left side of the keyboard) with the Flying Windows logo on it.

Here is an image of what you will see in the Windows registry:

This image shows the Captain Sim entries in Windows Registry - notice that the 767 Captain (and 757 Captain) is highlighted.

Hope this gets you through the complete uninstall process so that the 767 will (hopefully) work correctly after reinstalling and reactivating it.

I have just completed exactly "Step by Step" all that you wrote. Uninstalling the aircraft completely and going into the registry and deleting folders and files you mentioned.

I then re-installed the 767-300 as you suggested with right clicking and running the "Run as administrator" for Win7 -- I activated the 767 again and -------------------- Same problem!

Have the same black panel and windows open!

So, that didn't solve the problem.

I even got another exe file from the friend that has the AC and used that but got the same problem. His works, mine does not!

This is really getting frustrating - Not sure what to do!!

Start > Enter %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\DLL.XML in the search field > click on the resulting file to open it.

See if the following entries are in there:

   <Launch.Addon>
       <Name>Captain Sim 767 Menu</Name>
       <Disabled>False</Disabled>
       <Path>Captain_Sim\Captain_Sim.b767.menu.dll</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>
   <Launch.Addon>
       <Name>Captain Sim 767 Sound</Name>
       <Disabled>False</Disabled>
       <Path>Captain_Sim\767\cs.sound.dll</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>



If they are not listed, add them manually. Copy the lines above. Scroll to the bottom of the DLL.xml file. Paste them directly above the line reads: </SimBase.Document>. The bottom of the DLL.xml file should then look like this:

   <Launch.Addon>
       <Name>Captain Sim 767 Menu</Name>
       <Disabled>False</Disabled>
       <Path>Captain_Sim\Captain_Sim.b767.menu.dll</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>
   <Launch.Addon>
       <Name>Captain Sim 767 Sound</Name>
       <Disabled>False</Disabled>
       <Path>Captain_Sim\767\cs.sound.dll</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>


save it.

When I type that it the search box and try and open the file(s) it opens in Internet Explorer --- Which isn't even my default browser. Why would it open up in a browser?

Not sure what I should do there!

This is what comes up in Internet Explorer, but I am not able to modify anything! ---- But from what I can see at the bottom, the info you wanted me to see if it was there, is there!

Hi Greg.

The info is there, so you don't need to change anything. I have got .CFG file extensions to open with Notepad. I forgot about that. Sad

If you enter this: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX in the Search Bar, instead, it will show the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\FSX folder, just click on it to open it and all the files are there for you to access.

I wonder if FsPassengersX is causing a problem? I doubt that the PxDG items are because I have them too (although my entries are below the CaptainSim entries). I don't have FsPassengersX.
