Hi All,

For those of you having trouble with lights, gauges in 0, etc, check your version of Visual C++ Redistributables.

Look here for the details:

Thanks

I can vouch that this fixed most of my intermittent cockpit bugs; I was missing the 2015 x86 flavor, on Win 7 64. Thanks for the heads up. Starter works well, switches are easier to flip.. only remaining problem seems to a MP gauge that is occasionally inop, but mostly works fine other than displaying zero instead of ambient pressure with engine shut down.

I also have the MP Gauge problem. Try starting your flight with another plane. After the plane, location, weather etc. are loaded and your ready to fly, switch to the beaver. In my case, the MP always works by doing this. If I try to start off by choosing the beaver, it doesn't work.

Take care with the DLL.XML
You can see how I resolved my issue in the last post.

Just a note that may save someone the mistake I made.
The MV_WX radar did not work when I downloaded the Beaver, after quite awhile it was determined that I did not have the 2015x86 redistributable needed for it to work.
I downloaded it from Microsoft and tried to install it.
There is a bar graph that tells how much had been installed. After about 5 minuets, it had not moved and I thought that it wasn't working so I canceled the installation.
I then tried another link to the 2015x86 file, downloaded it and tried to install it, the same thing happened. This time I let it run. At around 7 minuets after starting the installation, the bar finally started to move and eventually finished installing.
So if you need this, be patient, it takes a very long time to work.

i ahve all the redistribuable installed , i installed them over and over again ever , and beleive me , still no gps or autopilot working
