FSX CD error

Featured Replies

After inserting Disk 2 when the install is nearly completed I will recieve an error stating "Please Insert Disk" I open and close my CD section of the PC, however the problem persists and the installation ends. I don't want to pirate the install as I would not like to get a virus or anything, I have he activation code, but I get that error when installing.

For your own sake, do not not even mention the word 'pirate' here otherwise you are looking at a potential immediate ban.

Ok thanks for the advice, any idea how to solve the issue

For starters, can you clarify which version of FSX you are attempting to install?

FSX Standard, FSX Deluxe, or FSX Gold?

If all else fails, you can buy FSX-SE for $25 or less and that is everything, FSX, Acceleration, everything.

See the AVSIM Terms of Service regarding our policy on piracy - https://www.avsim.com/AVSIM Pages/terms_of_use.html/.  Rick's comments are very accurate.
