codetrucker Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hello, I know this is an old subject, but a search for “FSX HMS Bounty won’t move†brought me to a very old thread. I have tried everything in the thread including reinstalling FSX. No success. The Bounty worked just fine in FSX-SE, but I can no longer use Steam. I installed FSX Deluxe from disk and have upgraded to SP2, installed FSUIPC 4.977, but the Bounty no longer moves even with an 18kt wind from my back. Please help.

mrzippy Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Did you weigh anchor? I had FSX Standard Edition with SP2 and Bounty sailed just fine. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codetrucker Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yes. I have sailed the Bounty for hundreds(thousands?) of hours over the years. I know what I am doing. Still, for the sake of clarity... FSX Deluxe Edition (disk) upgraded to SP2FSUIPC 4.977 (latest) installedStart FSX and choose HMS Bounty, slew to waterWeigh anchorSet sails to "Auto" with "Green Light"Slew rotation to have 18kt wind coming from aft. Any ideas? I could have missed something, so feel free to ask any questions or make suggestions. Calvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Have you tried setting sails manually? Never hurts to set off at least 2 cannon salutes! Post a screenshot of what you see when the ship should be moving! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codetrucker Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hello, Can I please get some help with this? I have searched for days and followed every thread I could find without success. I am at a complete loss after trying everything I can find (see above). FYI - I can no longer fly. The HMS Bounty is the only vehicle I can enjoy in FSX. Take care, Calvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Calvin, I posted a reply in the other thread. Please ensure your Realism settings are set to "Hard". (Will not work on "Easy" realism in FSX.) Also, check this thread. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/116911-HMS-Bounty?highlight=hms+bounty Edited May 24, 2022 by ifrfun Milton Shupe, FS2004 Modeler Hack Video Tutorials - Website Location for My Aircraft My Flightsim Uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codetrucker Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 HI Milton, I saw your reply on the other thread. I will cease posting here and use the other thread where I will follow your instructions.. Thanks, Calvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codetrucker Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 This issue has been resolved. The problem lay in the old, saved installer zip files. They must have been corrupted. I downloaded new fresh files (install and update files) and everything works! Thanks to everyone for the help and again, to Milton, Rob, etc. for this wonderful tall ship. As a personal note, I can no longer fly, drive, nor race. The HMS Bounty is the only FSX sim enjoyment I can successfully use. :) Calvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way: The Test gauge picture values show that everything worked as intended , EXCEPT the internal commanding of speed in FSX. Which would be a problem with install of FSUIPC, or any other gauge/module I use to command the long. speed in FSX. (this is depending on the Bounty version you use). But since it's working now .....
