If you are having trouble with FSX:SE install:

Gents-

 

I am collecting information from anyone who is having trouble installing the 777s into FSX:SE.

 

I need to know what your installation process was like.  For example:

 

1) FSX Installed.  Then installed FSX:SE.  Then uninstalled FSX.

2) FSX Installed.  Then installed FSX:SE.  Both remain installed.

3) Never had FSX installed.  Installed FSX:SE.  FSX:SE remains the only installed sim.

4) Never had FSX installed.  Installed FSX:SE.  Then installed FSX.

5) Something else... please describe?

 

I suspect there is an installation scenario we might not have accounted for and that is tripping a few of you up- but I need help identifying the patters so we can sort it out and fix it....

In my case, I had installed FSX first and then installed FSX-SE when it came out. I then uninstalled both and reinstalled FSX-SE only. 

 

My issue is that when the 777LR installer (downloaded new version this morning) finishes, it pops up with an error saying it can't find FSX.cfg (even though it should be looking for FSX-SE). 

 

The thread I made on my specific problem.

Situation 3:

 

New Win8.1x64 build (just a few days ago). Installed FSX:SE through Steam, everything worked well. Downloaded new 777 installer, installed with no issue. Asked to allow the DLLs etc on launch of FSX. Launched trike flight. Changed to 777. Asked to run 1 more DLL and then aircraft loaded. Completely dark cockpit, throttles maxed, yoke stuck on full left aileron, no landing gear, no engine fans etc.

 

 

Happy to run through your support tool again if needed (used it with Ryan before).

 

 

 

 

Edit (further details): FSX:SE is installed in default Steam location.

UAC is disabled

Only other add-on is FSUIPC and the throttle axis is calibrated through it.

FSX installed then uninstalled and then FSX-SE installed

Rob/Ryan/other PMDG bodies: Please PM me, I've found a ream of SxS/DLL errors on my machine pointing at the PMDG DLLs. I appreciate I'm on an unsupported OS but any help I can be.

In my case I have FSX installed...then uninstalled (usb desconections issues) then FSX ES installed...call my attention that the fsx.config from fsxes is not in my user/appdata/romming/microsoft/..it shuld be FSX folder with the tipical fsx config inside?...I dont have that however FSXes is running just perfect......I am uninstalling everything from 0 and see what happens

Alex, Pedro and Zoran:

 

Do this for me please:

 

1) Run REGEDIT

2) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games

 

You should see some combination of keys here, titled Flight Simulator and Flight Simulator - Steam Edition.

 

Open both keys so that you can see in far enough to view the AppPath registry entry.

 

Tell me what they say, please....

 

For example:  Mine read F:\FSX\ for Flight Simulator and F:\FSX-SE\ for Flight Simulator -Steam Edition

We don't currently support Win8 or Win8.1...  Right now we are pretty heavily focused on helping the folks on supported platforms- but once we get their issues sorted we MIGHT have time to help you diagnose.

 

Not a promise- since we are extremely busy and we chose not to support win8 for reason....

Understood, still sent on the details for future reference.

I have two entries. 

 

One for "Flight Simulator" - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\

 

And "Flight Simulator - Steam Edition" - G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\

Pedro-

 

Hang with me a few... I think I have a fix.

 

The location of your cfg files will vary depending upon a couple of different factors (very very exceptionally poor design decision by the folks at Dovetail Games...) but our installation mechanism will account for that and install accordingly.

 

Seems we missed one potential installation path you guys might take- and I have to code up a quick adjustment....  I am testing it now on a development rig in house... 

 

Be right back.

Hi Rob & rest of the team

 

Firstly many thanks for all the hard work that you and your guys are putting in to get the  PMDG products compatable with FSX-SE

 

Here is my scenario:

 

I decided to start again with a clean slate.

Uninstalled Triple 7 through FMC. Reformatted my FSX Drive in this case D: drive. Downloaded and installed a fresh copy of FSX-SE, checked system operating and found to be working fine. Downloaded new installers for both 200 & 300 series 777 as per instruction. Re installed 200 series which went without a hitch.

However

here is my first scenario. I loaded the aircraft in FSX to check that it had installed correctly before I updated the Operations centre? could this have been the start of my problems!

 

When I loaded the aircraft the first time the system asked me all the same questions that it normaly does when one loads a new aircraft the first time, all good. However what was missing was I was not asked for an activation code when I first loaded the aircraft. Hence aircraft is now sitting on runway with with no undercarriage and the engines were missing the internal engine parts, ie I could see light when I looked through the front of the engine. All cowlings were in place as per norm. Flight deck also in Cold & dark scenario and unable to operate any switches or throttles. Went back and updated Operations Centre. Same problem was there as before when I reloaded aircraft.

 

Operating system : Windows 7, 64 Bit

Sceneries installed:

Orbx Australia SP 4

Orbx North Island

Orbx Brisbane International

 

Many thanks
