Ok I have tried starting the aircraft with the Cl's mapped & unmapped to the spare throttle axis on my joystick and throttle set at ground idle. again I tried both combinations of joystick mapped/unmapped to the CL's for a battery, gpu, auto start none of which worked only when I unplug the joystick can I get the aircraft to start. but if I reset the situation, change the variant or location (after a successfull start with it unplugged) and leave the joystick plugged in, it will start. It seems to be just the first time it's loaded up that it wont start with the joystick plugged in. I will attach a screenshot of the error msg as I'm not sure which log to send you. I checked all variants for both the files you listed and they are present.

OK I tried a fresh uninstall/install and this has solved the missing gizmo toolbar and the aircraft will now power up(Thanks). However it has new issues now, it refuses to start via battery/gpu or auto start with my joystick connected. I started the aircraft today with the joystick unplugged had a quick flight, stopped and reset to a new flight at another airport and was able to start with the joystick connected. I exited the sim, started it again and tried to start with joystick still connected, nothing, It just keeps hanging at 30 degrees egt until I reset the situation and have unplugged the joystick. I am also having issue with the dials being unresponsive to the mouse, course,heading,radios,Vspeed etc the only one which works is the baro setting on the Alt. Also When I open the user preferences tab on the toolbar every time I click a tick box for heading/course pop-up etc the console box opens up? I will add my log files for you to check, Thanks and sorry about this GizmoLog.txt Log.txt

I can load the other variants, and although the I can still manipulate the switches etc in the cockpit they have no effect & no gizmo toolbar either I've attached a pic of the aircraft on loading is it normal for all doors etc to be open? I should add the download and installation of the update was trouble free no error messages.

Hi I have tried moving my X-plane into the main C:/ drive, a fresh download of the update, unzipped to desktop and install and I still have an unresponsive aircraft and no gizmo toolbar, please help.. I'll add my gizmo log & xplane log also GizmoLog.txt Log.txt

Excellent Thanks

Thanks for the help, does this require a fresh install or can I just move the folder? Sorry if this is a noob question, I was a microsoft man for over two decades and only recently switched to X-plane

Hi Sorry for my late reply I got held up at work for an extra 3hrs after our Twin Otter went tech! but on the plus side they sent November India to the rescue!! GizmoLog.txt

I don't know if this help but this what I'm getting on the console

Hi O.k I've tried this and still no joy I'm afraid.

So is the "old" toolbar still there? with the joystick assignments, checklists etc

Yes my X-plane is in the Program files (x86) folder The toolbar has gone now and I have instead a small toolbar with activation,shell,preferences & console only?

Hi Folks, this is gonna be a bit noobish! I just downloaded and installed the 1.2 update and also re activated it. The old toolbar on the right has gone, is that correct? how do I assign my throttle axis etc and call up the GPU Is there an updated manual now with this version that I haven't found? Thanks
