After work commitments over the last 2 months reduced my simming to NIL I found time today to get back to it.I have downloaded bits and pieces and followed the various threads on the AS2004.5 update. I was looking forward to a nice lazy flight with good weather depiction but I should have left well alone. AS2004 won't start, I'm frustrated and after a number of attempts - I give up.Andy b

Hi Andy,Welcome back! Try this, completely uninstall AS, install your base version and then directly update. Also, make sure that FSUIPC is 3.40.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Thanks for the advice Jim.Don't really know what the problem was but I decided to reload and took the 'repair' option. Very surprised to find it worked without further adjustments.Unfortunately by flight from KVCG - KABQ was pretty uneventful weatherwise and the only problem being a different localiser frequency on the 737NG to that shown in FSnav resulting in a very interesting approach and landing after overshooting the turn to finals.regardsAndy b
