March 26, 20188 yr Right Click on the folder, Lear45 and select Properties. Go to the Security Tab and, under Group or User Names, click on Users. Look at the permissions for Users. You should have full control. If not, click on Edit and give yourself full control. It appears you did not install FSX with Admin Privileges. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!
