FSX Spanair McDonnell Douglas MD-82

Tired this in p3d v3, 2d cockpit caused program to crash.

.

It doesn't work in FSX either, probably for the same reason. When I try to load a free flight with this aircraft, FSX just crashes straight away. None of my other aircraft - including a very similar MD-83 by Mr Lucena with Centennial Airlines livery - cause FSX to crash like this.

However, after reading your comment about the 2D cockpit and comparing the panel.cfg files of the Spanair and Centennial Airlines planes, and after spending a very long and frustrating afternoon trying to figure out what was wrong, I have finally cracked the case: there is something wrong with the GPWS sound gauge file. Remove that, and the plane works just fine.

So to get this plane working, you need to do the following:

1) Make a backup of the panel.cfg file.

2) Under:

[Window Titles]

Window00=Main Panel

Window01=Grupo de radio

Window02=FMC

Window03=GPS

Window04=MFD

window05=FSND Services

Window06=Groundhandling

Window07=GPWS"

Remove the last one.

3) Completely delete this:

[Window07]

size_mm=82,31

position=2 // Opens the window in the top-right corner of the screen.

window_size= 0.12,0.06 // Window screen size: 12 %u0025 Hor., 6 %u0025 Vert.

visible=0

Ident=10060 // Used by MasterWarn to toggle this window on/off.

gauge00=rcb-gauges!GPWS3_3_Default, 0,0,82,31

4) Finally, in the list of gauges under [Window00], delete this line:

gauge131=GPWS_Sound!dsd_xml_sound3, 0,0,,, ./sound/GPWS/Sound.ini

Change "gauge 132" in the next line (gauge132=rcb-gauges!GPWS3_3_MasterWarn, 16,95,13,13) to "gauge131".

And you should be good to go!
