Just deactivate AES via the "AESHelp.exe". Next, delete the folder "X:'Microsoft Flight Simulator'aerosoftAES"

----------------------------------------------------------Thank's, and I'll try that right now. But...does that scrub the AES footprint...or do I have to track down all elements of the install, and do those manually? I wonder why there is no uninstall file created to remove all of the installer's content within the FS9 folder upon initial installation? If there ultimately is one...I for sure can't locate it., lol.Post Edit: I found that you have to manually remove all files of this program by hand. For instance, you need to remove the AES entry manually from the Scenery.cfg file, and you have to also remove the VISTAMARE modules from the Module Folder. They SHOULD have created an uninstall file that scrubs what the .exe file creates in setup. Mitch'er

Just curious, as a possible purchaser,why did you want to get rid of it??P.S Not to highjack your thread, just curious as I was thinking of getting AES in the very near future.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Rest assured, you are not hijacking the thread. I just needed help to fully scrub the program, as I found it not to my taste. I have GSX for FSX, and found it to be most excellent, in that it is seamless. Whatever aircraft I use (commercial) the program correctly parses it, and all services interact as they should with that particular airframe without intervention, or set up needed by myself. With this program, I found quickly, that you had to for the most part, to mess around with config screens, to have services correctly align with the airframe's openings. Too much setup and hand's on tweaking for my taste. Again, for myself. This might not even be a concern to you and other users. :)Mitch

Ok thank you for your info, Ill have to look into it more as I thought it was an "install and good to go program", im not much a fan of playing around with cfg's .

I forgot about the scenery.cfg. Sorry about that!I agree with you. It seems a little nonsensical to me not to include an uninstaller. Especially considering the base program is a demo for customers who may find it's not for them.I've recently completely disabled AES for all of my doors except the front main entry (it's used for gates at supported airports). GSX has taken over everything else. If credits for payware airports were cheaper, default airports were shown some love, and more folks were allowed to develop giving more supported airports in AES, I'd be a lot happier. At time of writing, activating three FSDT sceneries in FSX costs me $16.... That's over $5 per airport :( Also, the animations are pretty ugly.

Mitch,

It is not possible due to the software protection method chosen for AES.The reason behind it is simple: if it was to be uninstalled in the traditional way, few people would buy more than one credit pack.But, based on my own experience, I can tell you AES does not interfere with anything. Just remove its folders physically, as mentioned above, and forget it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yeah...I checked out all my *.cfg files, folders, etc...and deleted what I needed. Thanks again for you help! Much appreciated!

-------------------------------------------------------------------Yes, did that and all is well. Back to pre-AES FS9. Thanks!

The latest AES release as far as human figures (air marshallers for one) claims better models.

And Am I the only one thoroughly confused by the comparison of GSX to AES in the FS9 forum? There is no comparison...

Exactly - GSX is only for FSX, so you have no alternative to AES for the FS9 platform.

Not only that but if I had a problem with AES I would be in the AES forum looking for support and not here. :(

Relax. So I got OT for one sentence. It's nothing to "get confused" about.

No one said you did. I was conveying that for my purposes, AES is getting less attention from meWhat is with all of the FSX v FS9 BS in this forum? The attitude in here surely makes people not want to contribute. I offered my advice on getting rid of AES, and then I gave a short opinion of the program. It's irritating I have to recap to keep some from "getting confused". Smart alec

Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed Zach. There was no FSX V FS9 comparison, there was mention that there is no comparison of AES and GSX for FS9 as GSX is not available for FS9, how is that BS comparisons???There were no smart Alec comments and if you are so irritated then don't post here anymore! I on the other hand was genuinely confused by the GSX mentions related to uninstalling AES in FS9 and actually went to see if FSDT had released for FS9 and I missed it! So relax, get off your high horse and don't create an FS9 v FSX BS issue where there was none! The only poor attitude in here is yours right now and if you are so irritated by people "getting confused" maybe you need to take a step back from the forums for a while.The only person who got bent out of shape was you...
