That happens with a couple of planes that I get, whether from here or another site (one in particular is the MD-88). I don't have a clue why is does that. Maybe uninstall and install it again would help.

First, welcome to DVA smile

Now, let's be a bit more analytical shall we?

The more info, and the more precise you can be about it, the easier it is to help you.

Can you start up FSX and fly a built-in plane ok?
When you installed the fleet 767 did it say anything or have any errors?

I'm guessing, but I'll bet its because you don't have 'fsuipc' installed. Download the
ACARS package from the fleet download section and install that first. Then try
to launch the 767 again.

Good luck and enjoy the adventure that is DVA!

I have ACARS and it won't let me fly the MD-88 or the Concorde.

You don't have the proper ratings to fly such aircraft for DVA.

The point is not really ACARS, but it installs an appropriate fsuipc into your
simulator, and I think that what Jacen needs.

To fly the Concorde takes a Stage 4 rating, and then a special request to
get the rating. Of course you can fly anything you want in your sim, but the
whole point of a VA is to have shared public challenges and accomplishments,
right? That's why we have tests and checkrides, it makes it feel like something
you earned when you get there.
