Hi, Well, I'm pretty sure I installed exactly as was noted, and copied the two files (planes and ini) but when I fire up fsacars and select my company (canadian virtual airlines) the utility starts as I would expect but then I get a dialog stating "fs crash. do you want to resume log?" If I choose yes it (dialog) just reappears, if I choose no I just get into config/options mode. Any help greatly appreciated Gary

Sorry, I should have added some of the things I've tried. As well as installing FSUIPC I also found the update to fsacars to make it ver. 4.0.15 and went into windows control panel to unblock the program with windows firewall but I still get the "fs crash" message. Is there something I can do to verify the FSUIPC install? I'm on a windows vista 64 bit computer if that means anything. Gary

Hi Gary,
When you mention you found the update to FSAcars....does that mean that you did not download the official FSAcars version from our website download section? We have a special install version on our website that is to be used only as it auto configures a few settings and you pilot information.
Please confirm.
Cheers! :thumbsup:

Hi Darryl Yes I can confirm I'm using the special CVA version and also that applying the update left all the CVA settings installed (verified pilot number in ini and planes file) But more importantly I'm glad to say that after a bit of stumbling I stumbled on the fact that running fsacars as "administrator" in Vista has resolved the issue! This may have been mentioned in the instructions but I do have a habit of stumbling....... Being relatively new to the online experience I'm hoping the CVA Big Dog / Head Cheese won't punt me from the airline before I actually build up the nerve to attempt a first flight, trying to figure out the procedures and etiquettes of contacting an ATC is un-nerving Gary

Hi Rob, Thanks for the offer I'm probably going to need lots of help sooner or later. My first thoughts were to indeed patch everything together at once and head right into vatsim but I'm thinking now that my first "flights" will be between me and my computer. At least until I get a bit more comfortable with all this. As for any problems, I seem to have the basics set up and working. FUISPC, ServInfo, Fsacars, Squawkbox, and a few other little extras (Plan-G) I'm wondering if anybody has any tips on good add-ons or resources that they might be interested in sharing? Gary
