FMS database will not load

[N11369 16]

Hello,

 

I just purchased this product and everything works fine except the FMS database will not load.  When using SHIFT 9, it indicates 0 percent.  Seems to hang.  I created a trouble ticket with the Carenado folks but haven't heard anything yet.  I use FSX Steam.  Is anyone else been having the same problem?  

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Hi Dave,

 

Welcome aboard...

 

I saw that the first time I loaded the plane - I restarted P3D and it seemed to work...

Thanks Scott,

 

I'm currently using FSX Steam.  I will try to reboot my machine and see if that helps.

Nope, still no joy.  When I installed the product I got the following error as well:

 

Cannot find part of this path:

C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE\dll.xml.

Hi Maddog525 - if you only have FSX-SE installed, the folder is FSX, not FSX-SE, so the path will be:

 

C:\User\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml. 

 

I had this problem, but I fixed it by copying the relevant code block from my P3D v3 dll.xml file.

 

Another thing you could try would be running the installer again and choosing FSX as the target and not FSX-SE.

 

Good luck...

Jim,

 

That was the culprit!  The installer is misleading.  Like you said, if you only FSX Steam you have to select the option FSX from the loader.  Everything works like a champ!  Thanks again!
