"FCS FAIL", what to do?

(1/2) > >>

Amigo:
Hi all;
After updating FA-18C_FSXBA_BA_18.2.22 on P3D v3, I got a "FCS FAIL".
Could you guys please give me a hint how to get read of it?
Thank you in advance, Amigo

Amigo,

Please check the following:
For v3:
-Verify that you have downloaded and installed the FSX version (32 bit) of the aircraft and not the P3Dv4 variant
.
-Verify that you have placed the correct, 32-bit version of the "HornetFCS.dll" file in your main FSXBA Hornet Gauges (i.e. Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\FA-18C_FSXBA_BA_18.2.22\Panel.Fleet) Folder.  This can be found in the folder labeled "FSX Specific Files" which is in the FA-18C_BA_18.2.22 folder.

-Verify that you have installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5555

For v4:
-Verify that you have downloaded and installed the P3D version of the aircraft. 
-Verify that you have placed the "HornetFCS.dll" file in your main P3D Gauges (i.e. \Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\gauges) Folder.

Give that a go and let me know if that helps.

Hi Jimi;
as always, you are the genius. Thank you for your speedy response.
I followed your instructions and the beautiful bird flies flawless again.
Sorry, this was my mistake not knowing the difference between the versions of P3D v3 and P3D v4.
You made my day, thanks a lot, Amigo

Great!  Glad things worked out and thanks for sharing your fix action.  Definitely no genius here brother.  Lot of experience through trial and error (a lot more on the error part lol).

Have a good one!

Greetings Gentlemen,

I am flying version 18.3 in P3Dv4.3 and I'm getting the "FCS Fail" advisory in the HUD as well. I have copied the gauge described earlier into the main gauges file, but still getting the advisory. I did not have this problem prior to the 4.3 upgrade.

Any assistance appreciated.

Reggie
