I've downloaded this Mosquito model several times from different sources but in each case, when I select the aircraft and punch the "Fly Now" button, FS9 suddenly shuts down. Has anyone run into this problem with this aircraft, discovered the reason for it and found a way to correct it?

Turn off aircraft reflections and it should work OK.

I downloaded bskmosq4.zip from Flightsim.com and that worked for me.

With aircraft reflections on, it crashed the sim when I hit "fly now".

Some of the textures are in a format the FS9 doesn't like with that setting turned on.

cheers,
Joe

Edited:

forgot to add, there are several gauges missing in the package. Nothing that can't be fixed, just thought I would tell you.

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Thanks Joe. That at least got me into the cockpit, but I'm having other problems with the aircraft: (1) Can't get it to trim properly as there are no trim controls; (2) Wont let me add icons to the panel for ATC, Kneeboard etc. Actually seems to dislike any changes to anything. I'll muck away at it until I get it configured the way I want or get too frustrated with it. Tks again

I had no problems trimming with the buttons on my joystick.

Not being able to make changes sounds like a permission issue common with Vista/Win 7.

Are you saying the panel.cfg will not accept changes, or it will and they don't show up in the sim?

cheers,
Joe

The panel.cfg file accepts the changes (addition of icon info) but the icons dont show up on the instrument panel. I haven't tackled the trim yet.

I don't know if this indicates anything, but the only controls on the 2D panel that are reactive to my mouse are the Master Switch, the Gear control and the Fuel Tank Selector.

Nothing on the VC is reactive. It's just a pretty picture.

And the program itself will do one of four things when I access this aircraft:

1. It crashes immediately after I select the aircraft and click the "OK" button; or
2. It allows me to access the "Fly Now" page but crashes as soon as I click the "Fly Now" button; or
3. A Microsoft dialog box comes up and tells me "Sorry but we have to close the program"; or
4. I actually get into the program with the aircraft on the runway!!

Something's wrong somewhere. I just dont know what and where. I think I loaded the program correctly, but since there were no instructions other than for the gauges and the effects, I can't be sure.

Frustration level 5 of 10.

Note that this is a CFS2 aircraft converted for FS9. Turning off reflections from FS9 Settings as Joe suggested should fix the CTD problem.*

I tracked down the original CFS2 version here. http://www.flight-simulator-world.org/download-flight-simulator/combat-flight-si...

If you download the file it will give you the missing gauges. That's about the best I can do.

*Edit. It won't load for me now. I think you're wasting your time with this one.
