Hi RobHave sent you an email on this but this way might be quicker:-) D/l the sf 260 this pm. Completely removed the FS2002 installation which I had loaded into fs9. New FS9 installation went without a hitch but in spite of several reinstalls (including a fresh d/l of the zip in case of a corrupted d/l), I get an error message when booting fs9 as follows:- Aircraft initialization failure Siai - Marchetti SF260 Paint2 and the sim returns to desktop.......any ideas please.The great comments being made by those whose install has gone without an hitch are making me impatient!!!!

Hi guysGot this sorted just as Rob replied to my email to him. The problem was because my default flight was with the'old' SF 260 and the sim was consequently looking for a file that had been removed by the uninstall process.Rob's reply once again demonstrated the excellent level of customer support provided by RealAirSimulations.

Their service is top notch! I too had the problem with the old SF-260 installed. Rob and Sean helped me with my installation. I did not realize that the new one was installed in another folder name. I deleted the old SF-260 and voila all works OK now. My hat's off to the Real Air team for all their help. Regards, Bob.
