FMS some planes won't move???

[dst]

Often, the planes I download for FMS, don't move. They just sit on the tarmac with there props spinning and making noise but I can't get them to initiate. Others work fine. Some planes initiate and take off fine but after they are airborne they loose power. I have full control in every other way but I can't add throttle. This happens whether I use my joystick or the keypads W and S. Any ideas what I should try?

I uninstalled FMA and reintalled it and now most planes work! Yeeehaaa!

FMS 2 alpha 8.x models will just sit on the runway when running under FMS 2 alpha 7.x. Use FMS 2 alpha 8.5 or better to run both versions of models.

I downloaded FMS 8.5 but some planes still don't move. Do I need to uninstall the planes and reinstall them?

If you uninstalled FMS beta 2.7 and then installed alpha 2.8.5, all models should work. I've found some will not when the .par setting of the landing gear and the height above ground allow the 3D model to settle below the ground. Also, some folks set up the .par file so a crash ensues immediately after initializing. Try pressing the "I" key to reinitialize or use the "R" button to hand launch the model and see if that helps.
