Hi Lou,
Installed your update Beta for the RXP Garmin. I used my existing Garmin installation which was exactly as it came originally, not with the Trainer in the GNS 430 folder.
Started up FSX and selected a previously saved flight with the Dakota. Came right up. Then selected another airplane and it worked, then selected the Dakota again while airborne with the previous plane and it worked perfectly. Tried downloading weather, using the flight planner and every possible situation I could dream up and the Dakota loaded perfectly. Then, for my grand finale and last attempt and crashing FSX, I closed FSX, loaded up another airplane other than the Dakota, took off and flew around a bit, then selected the Dakota in mid flight and it loaded just as though it was an FSX default aircraft.
From my perspective, the Dakota looks completely fixed for us Vista 32 types with some sort of anomally operating system.
I should add, however, just for the record, that pursuant to working with getting this terrific addon aircraft to work, I had previously turned off User Account Control, given every permission possible to running FSX, and made myself a complete administrator for my Vista 32 operating system via a DOS command. And, I turned off DEP. Additionally, I had downloaded and installed the stand alone Microsoft Vista Service Pack 1 update to Windows Vista (465 Megabytes worth). I am thoroughly happy to have done all of this as I feel it has made Vista now a far better to work with operating system. A local computer GURU type working with Information Technology at Walmart told me that Service Pack 1 for Vista would do a lot to speed up disk access times and a bunch of other techno babble stuff I had no clue about and it seems he was right as I am running FSX faster than ever before and great frame rates with the Dakota 2D or 3D panel and using the Garmin 430 windowed or not.
Thanks again so much for what I consider to be the best General Aviation addon to FSX I have ever seen, IMHO!
Best of luck to all of you at Dreamfleet! So very much looking forward to the Arrow!
