Problem with Dakota

Jared,

Just try a 4:3 ratio like 1600x1200 and see if that helps.

I tried everything guys, both FS9 and FSX and I am still getting the same problem. I am not too sure what to do now except for return the product.

Who here is running Windows XP Service Pack 3?

Hi Chris,

As mentioned elsewhere, when I had to reinstall WinXP due to a failed HD I used a new copy of WinXP complete with SP3. Since then I've been gradually reinstalling my Dreamfleet fleet. I don't recall any sudden crashes with the Bonanza but the few flights with the newer Archer III and Dakota (recently reinstalled) I've experienced sudden exits from FS2004. This is with both the supplied GNS430 units and the stand-alone GNS430. At present I'm not using the new GNS430W WAAS units due to the reduced compatibility with the other RXP gauges in FS2004.

Hi Peter,

Peter,

Did you install the Dakota BEFORE or AFTER you installed SP3? I installed SP3 BEFORE I installed the Dakota.

Anyhow...I started a master thread regarding this problem.
