HELP! Am trying to install R4D and Briefing Time into FSX and ran into a brick wall! I have the FSX Update, which I am following step by step. I changed the installation directory to FSX as directed in Step 3. The installation process began.....then I got an error message which states 'Destination Folder does not exist', with a query asking if one should be created? Clicking 'No' cancelled the installation. So I re-started the installation, this time clicking on 'Yes'. The installation proceded creating a folder with the exact same title as the default folder, '.........Microsoft Games\ Microsoft Flight Simulator X', where I was trying to install it in the first place!Any assistance would be appreciated.jernie

Have you tried taking the needed files from the new folders and placing them in the appropriate folders for the planes?Mike

Hi Jernie,I'm a bit confused. The installer is set up to load into the default FSX installation, otherwise you are instructed to change the path to meet your own. Is your FSX path in the C:/ Program Files folder? (you don't say). You would not want it to create the directory, in this case, because that wuld mean FSX isn't there.Cheers, Bill RambowMAAM-SIM

Hi Bill,The CD I am using could be the wrong one! I had two Install CD's, and misplaced the other one.This one is for 16 Add-On aircraft, 9th Edition, R4D, C-47 and DC-3 with Reading Airport Scenery, Multi-Media Manuals and Instruction Videos included.If this is true.....please respond with order info for the correct CD. I will purchase the correct one.Regards, jernie

Hi Jernie,That is the latest version of the one and only R4D/DC-3/C-47 CD. I think I might know where your confusion is arising from. As explained in the installation instructions that come with the FSX Upgrade, you must first install the FS9 aircraft package to FSX, before you apply this patch. This requires you to change the installation path in the installation routine from FS9 to your FSX directory. When you do that there will indeed be one folder that does not exist in FSX and that you must allow it to create - the Aircraft folder. As explained in the instructions, MS decided to put planes in the Sim Objects/Airplanes directory and did not allow backward compatibility by leaving an Aircraft folder in FSX. So. you must move the planes from your newly created FSX/Aircraft folder to the Sim Objects/Airplanes folder. Look those FSX patch instructions over again and see if this makes sense. I hope it works for you. There are still problems some users are running into that are system specific and that we are not going to be able to deal with until we do a native FSX version of the DC-3. If you are running FSX SP2, be sure to grab the separate Transparency Fix from the Free Stuff page. Even then, you may run into other issues, as you will read about on other forum threads here. Good luck. There are many users who are managing just fine, some with work-arounds or compromises of there own devising. Please keep in mind that this package was designed for FS9 and we don't make any claims to full FSX compatibility. We'll take care of that with the native version which will be a complete rebuild and will naturally require a good amount of development time. When we do finish it, we promise it will be worth the wait and the price.
