Hi all, just starting out and am having trouble getting ACARS to start a flight. I get an error "Microsoft Flight Simulator is not ready to fly. Please start it and load your aircraft". I have FSX running and the aircraft is at the gate, ready to go. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have FSX SP2 installed, and is FSUIPC4 installed and listed in the Add-Ons menu?

Cheers!

Luke- Thanks for your response! I updated to SP2 and installed FSUIPC4, so far I can connect and start a flight.
