I recently downloaded the latest release by Warwick Carter; the excellent T-6 package. I installed it and everything seemed fine. Shows up in my aircraft list, I choose it and start a flight. My flights always start in the vc, and this one was no different. Plane flies great, and the vc looks fantastic. Problem is when I switch to an external view, the sim just freezes like the comp is thinking, then I get a fatal error message, fsx has to close, bla bla bla. I tried this multiple times with the same result. Strange thing is I then tried Warwick Carters P-51, and the same exact thing happened. I used to be able to get external views with no problem on the P-51. Anybody have any ideas what may be the problem? All other aircraft work just fine.

First question, do you have SP1 & 2?

Darn it ok all I can suggest is what I did with another user,
comment out all the gauges in the [Vcockpit01]
and see if the model works fine. If so go back and add the gauges 1 at a time till it locks.
In regards to the P-51 the only common thing that I can think of is the Glock gauge,that code been used in lots of aircraft but then again there are so many different system setups. Its not surprising the P-51 caused a lockup as there is so much in the mustang that would upset FSX/Accel.Or maybe your system hates my addons

I did what you had recommended and just by chance I started with the Glock gauge as mentioned being in the P-51 as well. Turns out removing that gauge worked like a charm! Have yet to try the P-51, but I have a good feeling that will be fixed as well! Thanks alot!
