Lou,
I changed the folder name and finally I was able to start FSX and the Dakota with no Garmin errors however, on my Vista 32 machine I get the following issues only in the Dakota:
1) When I pull up the plane's config screen I can't make any changes or switch pages
2) I can't turn the starter either in the main panel or in the Vc (I have to use Control+E)
3) There is no Avionics switch available, just a black hole so I can't turn on some of my other gauges or equipment
4) Can't see a Prop or Mix or Throttle lever.
Otherwise, she flys great!
Steve
