FSD/Milviz YF-23 OUT NOW!

DennyA said:
Not to pile on, but just to confirm: Neither the one I downloaded this morning nor the one I grabbed a few minutes ago (much smaller dll) fixed the instruments. This one, in fact, caused FSX to pause for about 30 seconds upon loading the YF-23 cockpit.

The sim will often pause a bit when loading the YF 23 or other planes this complex. 30 seconds seems a bit long, but I have had FS X pause on me for that long on a lot of occasions loading all kinds of things. And then sometimes it seems there are no pauses loading the same thing.

Can I suggest you reboot and then try it again? If it continues to always take this long to load let me know and I will see if I can figure out why.

Wow, I had already purchased the "other" P-38, but I was still looking at buying the YF-23. Think I'll wait and watch for a bit, lol.

This has not been a problem for the YF 23. It was a problem I introduced accidentally when I updated our drivers for the P38, which needs to initialize differently than the previous aircraft. The last fix I posted should clear that up.

That notwithstanding, i will personally guarantee that you can get the YF 23 loaded and installed perfectly, or I will refund your purchase. We stand behind everything we sell.
 

*EDIT - Apologies, Tim. Just noticed my posting this on the YF-23 thread instead of the P-38 release one. Will post there as well.
.

* Now the YF-23 that I've had & enjoyed for some time before release of the Lightning
will not load in FSX, also locking it up before the flight is fully loaded. It flew fine before,
absolutely no problems with here whatsoever until the '38 was installed.


All other appropriate matters have been cut/pasted into the P-38 release thread now, thanks.

I will add to the discussion that the new FSDX.DLL does not resolve the missing YF gauge issues, and the new FSDX.DLL also broke the Commander.... now the Commander does not display the VC. :(

I can confirm the commander's VC does not show???

FYI: Same here, just checked: no Commander gauges now either. Am not going to fly any more of my beloved FSD fleet until resolution of these issues for fear of breaking them too. Other addon aircraft other than FSD planes are seeming to be fine here at this point.

Oddly, my FSX is starting much slower now on initial program startup. Over 60 seconds to load a fresh flight with other aircraft as well, compared to less-than-30 seconds before to completely load a fresh flight. Wondering if these could be related to the other issues being expressed here. Strange.

Thanks, guys. Standing by for as long as it takes, no hurries...

It is likely you don't have the current driver file. It is likely because there was some confusion over the file that was posted yesterday, as it was replaced once and as someone noticed, it was of a noticably smaller file size. It seems certain that that file was corrupt. I have replaced the file, which you can get here:

http://69.13.144.131/product/files/Fsdx.zip

Unzip this into your root FS X directory. Then you should have normal displays in both the YF 23 and the Commander.

Sorry for the mixup.
 
Tim, I've unzipped the fsdx.dll from your message and installed it, and the problem persists. Something is still amiss here - in fact, it seems to be worsening. Here's a screenshot from my P-38 restored VC after installing this dll:

In hoping to help shed some light, no files have been downloaded & installed here with the exception of the 1st original P-38 download/full installer. FYI.

No worries here. Will likely just uninstall the Lightnings & wait for the full meal deal to get all packed up into one installer.

*EDIT-

...nor does the P-38 show up in "Uninstall a program", though the YF-23 shows there. Am stuck here, Tim.

Likely it is just not reading your registry, or does not have permissions to do so.

Why are you trying to uninstall? If you need to contact me direct you can do so at td@fsd-international.com.

Hi Tim,

Yes, I've got those entries.

I got the same as Bill:kilroy: on the P-38
and yes I have those line in my panel config for the P-38

But my commander seem OK with new file given

but my YF-23 no instruments
 
I've got the same problems with my YF23 and Redbull P38. New file made no difference.

Thanks and good luck.:wavey:
