Hey guys i recently tried a friends copy of the Mad-dog and after applying all the patches, i get the below error after selecting an aircraft and clicking ok on the create a flight screen. I still have all the install files from version 1.00 to 1.42, reinstalls don't seem to fix it so any help on this would be fantastic! :D Heres the error:Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft or software. You can continueusing Flight Simulator but this aircraft or software will be disabled.File: GAUGES../aircraft/LAGO_MADDOG/panel/maddog.GAUBy the looks of it, it looks like a registry problem but i've checked my FSPath in there and its set correct.. If no-one has a fix i'll email the problem through Lago but thought this could be quicker.Many Thanks!G-MIDY :-scatterAMD 3000+ | 6800GT | 1GB GeiL |

Hi there,It is very likely that the EULA of this product does not allow to use a friends copy even if it is for evaluation only.On the LAGO forums you can find a install description. You need to do some extra stuff when installing. The updates will not work if your friend has an illegal copy/serial.

Holy cow. You are ACTUALLY admitting to piracy on this forum? "Hey guys i recently tried a friends copy" <-- That is EXACTLY what piracy is. I'm not your keeper but as a heads up, I'm not sure your post was a good idea. Carmine http://forums.avsim.net/images/wave.gif

Shame on you G-Midy. I am sure you would appreciate someone "trying" your work for free... I really hope you were "smart" enough to send this message from your home, so your IP address can be tracked down... I cant believe you have the guts to come here and pretend you are trying a friend's copy when it is obvious you downloaded the software from your favorite P2P network....John

@G Midy...Wow :-erks

:-lolYou might as well have said:"I've borrowed my friend's Windows XP CD, but I haven't got a product key ... can someone give me their product key ... cheers! http://www.mv-aue.de/images/emoticons/ph34r.gif"

One basic question--did you purchase and register this product? If the answer is yes, feel free to send me a PM and I'll consider unlocking this thread. Otherwise, discussion of how to troubleshoot "borrowed" payware, installation of cracks, or other issues related to use of payware outside of the EULA is forbidden.-John
