Must add myself to the list of those previously affected by this issue.
My recently acquired T-38A ADV remains in a hovering pattern above the tarmac, with no L/Gear, and no main panel or gauges visible within it's VC.
Ailerons and rudder remain frozen in a hard left roll position, and remain unresponsive to any input.
Attempted T/O's in this state results in a violent "out of control" rodeo ride in the blue !!

After reading of others identical symptoms being resolved by implementing a promising fix: loading of Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2010 SP1 (x86), I now lament, as my own Win 7 Pro 64 bit system had this version already installed... but still produces the problem... ??

Actions taken:
- All active AV/Security turned off, and UAC already set to never = Off
- Removed all existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redist Pkgs: 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2013
- Download/Reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2010 SP1 (x86) in addt to versions 2005, 2008, and 2010
- Extraction/Removal of T-38A ADV's aircraft files using it's installer
- Fresh download of new copy: MVZ-275.zip = MilViz T-38A ADV SP3.2 v3.170726 from FSPilotShop
- Reinstalled... but problem still remains

Checked
- MV_T38_SYS.dll confirmed as included in the "trusted" dll list within the FSX.cfg
- No Event Viewer errors involving FSX or T38 dlls
- No other modules/addons used with the T-38A ADV
- Panel.cfg has not been edited

Hoping some kind soul can assist me in getting this one into active service...
Standing by..........

Are you running FSX as admin?

Just to check, you don't have the normal non ADV installed do you?

Tks for responding guys...

State remains unchanged when FSX booted as Admin...
and
MilViz T-38A ADV SP3.2 v3.170726 is the only version installed

Please run the uninstaller again and this time please verify that the T-38 folder is removed from your simobjects/airplanes folder.

Tks for hangin' in there on this one...

Uninstaller run
T-38A_ADV_MilViz folder completely deleted/gone from D:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes

Residual found on sys drv:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SimObjects\T-38A_ADV_MilViz\state.cfg
- This folder now completely deleted also.

T-38A ADV Installer Re-run as admin
FSX re-booted as admin, but sadly no change to aircraft's issue...

Ok I just missed your C++ redists. Don't remove any. You can and shold keep the 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2013 packages for other programs that use them.

The package you were missing was not 2010 SP1, but 2015 Update 3. Get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=53587

" Mission Control... we have a lift-off !! "

Your suggested Visual C++ Redist 2015 UDt3 install, put a new flint in it, at last...
Didn't like it the first time round, and locked up the FSX boot sequence, and everything else... but after a PC reboot, and a second swat at FSX, the T-38A fired up the pvsly missing gauge panel, with all frozen controls now fully functional...

Thanks for persevering with this one guys...

Am very much indebted... Thank you !!
