Recently reinstalled Windows 7 and FS9, own the Flight1 172R for both FS9 and FSX but can't find either one anywhere online. It's like they never existed. The only one I had backed up was the FS9 version of the unwrapped setup.exe but it's useless without my lost .lic file. I need to download the wrapper version and can't find it anywhere.

 

I've been away from simming for a couple of years. Did I miss something in that time? Is there a known reason the aircraft has been pulled (if that's what happened)?

go back  where  you had  purchased  from the store and  should  be  in your  account

I don't think that's the way it works at Flight1. My order details are listed in my account, but no download links. Instead you just go to the product page, download as if you're buying, then when installing select "reinstall". My problem is that the aircraft is nowhere to be found on their site or anywhere else. Strange, considering it's one of the best GA aircraft of all time.

okay have you tried running the flight one exe it should give you option to retrieve passwords and your account and the download option for your addons

and go to bottom of the page for the DL link

Posted a query for it here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/topic56267_post353865.html#353865

is this the one you after or not

 

Alabeo C172RG Cutlass II for FSX/P3D

Nope, I guess he's looking after this one:

Yes I'm looking for the Flight One version.

 

I simply can't use my existing setup.exe. It requires a license file created by the primary installer , or "wrapper". I lost that file when my OS drive crashed (the lic file was probably created in the Windows folder).

 

If I run the existing .exe, it will install the aircraft, but when I try and select it from within FS it will lock up the pc and I'll have to reboot and uninstall it.

 

Ah well, lesson learned. Always back-up.

But from your user area at Flight 1 you can easily re-activate the wrapper and it's download.

 

Start here: http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=keyrequest

 

If you lost track of the order # then you can also retrieve it from there.

All you need to do is to submit a support ticket to Flight1 and they will arrange for you to get a copy of the installer. You are not the first person to have this issue. When you get the new installer, make a backup. You may also retrieve your codes and get a new copy of the key via Flight1's automated system.
