Possible cause: No error Hi Dene And welcome to the club. I´ve had the error you describe when first starting 098a from Win 2000. I have a Matrox Card and the only help I got from this forum was to update drivers. I did and it looked like it was working but wasn´t really, just a matter of combination. so I gave up after trying on my own a while. Now I´ve installed 0.99 and the problem still prevails. Windows users are a shrugged upon minority here, so we got to stick together. Hence here´s the experiences I made: Under 098a: * The "possible cause no error" appears only selecting a certain combination of aircraft and runway. Another combination will produce an error like "file could not be found" (or opened ). * The first time thru none of the aircrafts work. But try a while, keep trying and - believe it or not - after a while one will work. Settings that worked for me to start with was a cessna + default runway at kfso. Then piper and runway 28 R. And after I played with them a while I got the eurocopter to work with the default runway. But you have to try different combinations. * I couldn´t really get the controls to work (only keyboaerd no Joystick) but I got over the initial error and could move the plane around a bit. When it crashes to bad you`ll get the error back and have to start all over. Strange behaviour when it´s just the card or drivers. Anyway under 099 * See above * Here in addtion to the above the boing and the fighter can be gotten to work. However I still can´t manage to get the controls working properly. Hope you have better luck or maybe this will give you a hint where to look for solutions. If you got any ideas I´ll appreciate a hint. Thanks mate Take care and happy flying Denise _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
