Warbirdsim Mustangs For FSX!

[SpaceWeevil]

Did you paste all the text in the activation mail including the body start / body end tags? She always appears skeletal in the preview screen unless you go to another aircraft and then reselect the Mustang.

Product activation problems

I have cut And pasted the activation text sent to me in email but mustang shows up skeletal in fsx as well as in preview

I think that is normal and explained in the installing instructions. Does the plane fly correctly?

Yes plane flys correctly , however some of the features in virtual cockpit do not work, i do not know how to get round this problem, aprt from e-mailing warbirdsim support,(but like the actviation request its taking its time) i foolowed the instruction on how to get the preview in fsx correctly and that doesn't work either.
I do not know how to get round this problem, so as i purchased the more expensive boxed version i am a little p:{}ed Off.

warbirdsim activation problems

Maybe John (Bomber_12th) Terrell can help you, he's been around here, you could try and send him a pm?

Is it only the Warbirdsim bird that is giving this problem? I had some trouble with Boris Vorontsov's Enbseries contrast enhancement software, especially the beta gta4_v0076 version, giving transparent textures in FSX with the FS9 P-51B and others so I dumped it. I have an Nvidia GTS 250 1GBRam video card, probably not compatible with this software (gta3_v0075 OK with FS9 but not FSX).

Just a thought

Don't blame you being p****d off. If it's displaying like that in-game then I'm pretty sure it's an activation issue. Warbirdsim (support@warbirdsim.com) have answered all my e-mails very quickly - did you remember to include your order number (or PayPal reference) in the subject line? Once it is activated, you can get it to display in the preview by clicking on the 'Change Location' button. You don't have to change airfields - just OK it and there she is. Good luck getting going.

p51 mustang

thankyou for your help p51 and by telling me it was a activation issue because i recently bought a ASUS AH4650 1GB DDR2 RAM AGP grphics card and was hoping that the drivers for it were not the cause, especially considering ASUS' drivers come up with not a windows xp certified message comes up when i installed them.
thanks again

P51 warbirdsim activation problems

Thanks spaceweevil for your suggestions, i did put my order id in activation request, but what i may have done wrong was to have my e-mail account (the one i registered with warbirdsim) to forward incoming mail, and one of them was the activation e-mail.
I have done what they suggest in fsx change location etc , but it does not work.

Hi there,
It's obviously not activated properly so I'd get back to support@warbirdsim.com ASAP. The 'change location' trick does work in the preview screen, but only after activation. It's a bit of a pain, all to do with the security. It's great to fly, you will enjoy it once you get up & running.

P51 warbirdsim activation problems

I have e-mailed support about this and they were being a bit funny about this saying that "its working for everyone else" and such like, which gets me concerned that a) they might be acusing me of being a software pirate
B) is there something drasticaally wrong wrong with the hardware i just bought. Also my Asus graphics card drivers come up that they are not windows xp certified and that windows reccomends that i do not install them, so i go to the AMD/ATI website and download drivers, and the drivers do not recognise the graphics card as ATI hardware, but the graphics card works!!

WHQL drivers are not essential and many people don't use them, me included. It does sound like you have a slightly scrambled driver installation, so I suggest you completely uninstall all your old video drivers from the control panel (if you haven't already) in case there's a conflict. Then reboot and install the ones on the CD that came with your card. That should get you going well enough for now.

Then, nag the **** out of Warbirdsim because, if I had a reputation, I'd still stake it on this being a failed activation!

I also couldn`t resist and have the same problems----activation fails.
The best is,in the mail i`ve got,there is no orderID.
Really cannot understand,why such an highpriced Addon causes such a trouble.
Perhaps you find it on an torrent site and the complicated activation procedure was for nothing
I´m highly p......off

[SpaceWeevil]

Michael, if you used PayPal you won't have an order number as such but you will have a PayPal transaction reference - just use that in the e-mail header. Good luck, I'm feeling a bit guilty that mine was up & flying inside 10 minutes.
