donkz2 0 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Good afternoon, I have recently purchased the Aerosoft Airbus Bundle for FSX(SE) version 131. I installed it as per instructions, right click run as admin on a Windows 10 machine. Also had Anti Virus turned off for install. When I load into the aircraft regardless of state (although set to "Dark" as default) the Left hand side MCDU is non responsive and I cannot select any of the buttons (Regardless of a/c type). The right MCDU works fine now but I did have an issue with not being to close the front left door, but seems to have been resolved after a reinstall. This issue happens 80% of the time, on rare occasions it does seem to work, and after turning on some power and ADIRS I can "Reset IRS" and continue to program it as expected. Could you advise me on how best to rectify the above? Many thanks, Liam Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted March 19, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted March 19, 2016 There have been a few reports of a problem like this here in the forum. Make sure to have SimConnect properly installed in your FSX:SE. Please download and install all Microsoft VC++ Redistributable packages (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015, 32bit and 64bit packages). If you have them already installed, please do it anyway. They might got corrupted on your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkz2 0 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hi Tom, So far so good, 3 starts and three successes. Will reinstall the A321 and test, but hopefully the above has ironed the issues out. Many thanks.Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted March 20, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted March 20, 2016 I am glad to read that. I will leave this topic open for now. If I don't hear back from you I will close it in a few days. Happy landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCoyote 42 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi there, I have the same problem, but only when loading an Airbus for the second time. In other words, If I start P3D (v3) and fly an AS Airbus, it will work the first time. However, if I reset the scenario or change vehicle to any other AS Airbus, I will get the "A0-0" string instead of the usual "A320-214" for example, and the left MCDU will be unusable. It doesn't matter if I load a different scenario of aircraft between the two attempts. I haven't tested it with keyboard inputs yet. My VC redists are all installed, too. Is it possible that the 'bus saves part of its state in a file that gets corrupted? Yesterday I had 3 CTDs in less than an hour whiel I was on the ground, and I was always loading my 320 from a saved state somehow (I checked the FCU and cabin temp as telltale signs). After the 4th restart, I loaded the submarine scenario, then created a new scenario with the 320, and the problem went away. I don't know if it's related to the problem at hand though. Cheers!

mcmaviation 0 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi There, Having same issue with FSX (not steam edition) running on Windows 10. Only on A320/21. On A318/9 all working properly. Only the MCDU on the left is not clickable. The rest of the plane works perfectly. I have de-installed and re installed several time but same issue. What is strange is that I have the Airbus since a while and worked properly untill few days ago and suddendly this issue appeared. Did not made any changes to FSX PS: I'm not familiar at all with: Microsoft VC++ Redistributable packages (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015, 32bit and 64bit packages) as written above. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you Maurizio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted March 28, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi Maurizio, when searching on Google for "Microsoft VC++ Redistributable packages" this is the first result you get: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003 Please download and install all packages (2005-2015, 32bit and 64bit packages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmaviation 0 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi Tom, Thank you for the link. I have donwloaded and installed all the version following your instructions. It seems to be working now, but only with the first chosen plane/livery. If for any reason i change the plane after having open a flight, it stacks again. But at least it works now, I just dont have to change my mind and stick with the first plane No issue at all with A318/9 version which works perfectly. Strange that only the A320/21 version is affected! Thank you for your help Maurizio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCoyote 42 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Paging @Tom A320 I have painstakingly reinstalled ALL of the VC redist packages, AND the A320 (deinstall, removal of all Aerosoft folders). I get the exact same behaviour as before: unusable left MCDU displaying A0-0 instead of the actual version/subversion. Worse yet. I have this old P3Dv2 install that had no Airbus installed. I installed the 318/319 and everything worked fine. I loaded minibuses up to 8 times without a glitch. Fantastic Then I installed the 320/321 (1.31) and for a time it was good. I loaded a couple of 320s without a problem. Then I restarted P3D and it all went wrong. Not only did I get the dreaded unclickable "A0-0" in the 320/321, but it ALSO broke the 318/319, EVEN after uninstalling the 320/321! In other words, the 320/321 seems to be doing something somewhere that affects the whole 320 family and that severely disrupts the aircraft loading process. I don't know where it breaks stuff, but it sure breaks something! I don't know what else to do, aside from reinstalling P3D from scratch. ANY insight would be appreciated Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCoyote 42 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 After yesterday's ordeal, I thought "what the hell" and reinstalled P3D from scratch. I then installed the 318/319 first, and then the 320/321. So far I haven't had any issue with the left MCDU. So knock on wood and hope this helps, even if it's a pain in the back Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camrad1983 2 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Same here, brand new windows 10 with all updates, brand new A320 1.31 Disabled all antiviruses, all windows protection, all C++ is installed. Have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLL33 5 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I could fly 3 short legs without problem. This time I didn't alt-tab the whole time. Maybe it is not related with the bus. It could have to do with the prepar/simconnect combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thy3098 0 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have the same problems. Despite not having any problem airbus x extended, after the installation A320/321 (ver.1.31), left mcdu is not working and i can't use the buttons. I can write with my keyboard, however i can't enter them on MCDU. Thanks for your help, Mert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thy3098 0 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 First of all, sorry for my late response. I did all my installations as an administrator and i am starting my fsx same.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 27, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 27, 2016 Have you installed SimConnect? You can get the installer from here: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_(FSX) scroll down to versions and use the SP2 download link (to download the installer directly from Microsoft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_pienaar 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have the exact same issue on the left MCDU of the A319. From time to time it does not respond when starting from Cold and Dark. In my case is only the A318/9 with this issue, the A320 and A321 seems absolutely fine. I have reinstalled the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable Packages. What else can it be? Eagerly awaiting your response. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 26, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 26, 2017 What OS and what sim are you using? Does restarting the sim or rebooting your system fix the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_pienaar 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi Tom. My setup is Windows 10 and FSX Delux (Boxed). I've just went trough all my airbus versions (A318/9/20/21) and the issue seems to be random. Regards Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 26, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 26, 2017 It it is random and can't be pinpointed to anything the only advice I can give you is to follow the given suggestions in here to the point: Please do not omit any of the given steps (especially while reinstalling the bus). They all serve at least one purpose (if not many). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_pienaar 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Tom, I went through the whole process (uninstalled, reinstalled AV off and as admin) and kept on checking whether the MCDU issue is resolved after every step. The issue was resolved with the last step when I re-installed SimConnect. Touch wood, it seems as if the non clickable issue on all 4 versions of my Airbusses (A318/9/20/21) have been resolved. Thank you very much for all your help. Regards WIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
