I go to start Xplane10 and i get a message that i have the demo, lol i own it! what happened?

did my ini or cfg file get messed up? how do i solve this weird issue, lol. I'm trying to enjoy XP10 but i always keep going back to FSX OR P3D. I had some good times in XP10 but i remember the install taking hours and i kept getting errors during the install, even with the installer from their site. WOW! as i'm typing this post, 3 Canadian F18 in formation just flew over my home, god those planes are cute and small.

Make sure you have DVD 1 in your drive.

i always flew xp10 without the cd, i will try it.

[Arthur42417 193]

ok it worked but that's strange, i had my Guid Wars 2 CD in the drive for the past 3-5 days and have always started XP10 without problems, i'm confused Mr. Austin M :lol:

Have you mounted DVD 1 onto a virtual drive? This also works and you can start X Plane without the DVD.

Otherwise, (except for the USB dongle) XP10 shouldn't be able to run without the DVD in the drive.

Not true, Goran, now X-plane does not check for the cd at every start. I don't remember the frequency, but it's more than a day.

That's interesting.

My bad.

Thanks for clearing it up.
