They said the WADD Bali airport rwn 27 ILS is now working with the latest update. It was not working earlier when the add on was released

I went to Aerooft and downloaded their file (It was the same file size as the earlier released) and the ILS didn't look like it was fixed.

I then realized I have an item on my Menu called Aerosoft Updater. ASupdaer.exe

I ran it and it listed all the aerosoft addons I have installed. It told me nothing else. 

Does running this automatically go and update all the addons if it needed updates?

I have no clue about their new update process.. I don't hang out there all the time to know these things.

 

Any ideas?

Normally the items to update are in red. Just a crazy idea: Did you by chance use the Addon Linker and have the airport NOT active? In this case it's marked in the ASUpdater as installed but the Updater (obviously) can't read the files to detect they have to be updated. I made this error once.

Kind regards, Michael

Yes Most of them are in Red.

 

Do I copy them back in community folder and then run the updater again and then copy it back and link it again?

🙂

Manny,  Just run the updater it will update the files correctly.  I have been using it in  P3D and MSFS for over a year, never a problem.  If there is a major release they will tell you to uninstall in the release notes, and download a new installer.   Also you can check the box to include beta releases under options.

I made one profile in the Linker where all items are active. I don't use this for flying but for updates via ASUpdater or ORBX Central or the like. These updates work via the links, i.e. new/modified files are transferred to the place where you have your addons physically installed (in my case a folder "MSFS Addones")

BTW, I own Bali myself. If memory serves me right, I installed version 1.0 from the AS shop and updated it via the updater to 1.0.0.1 which is presently shown as installed.

No matter jhow many times I run the ASUpdater...it shows those addons in Red.  

It never gave me a messge if it updated anything. It was always active. 

They all show as Installed.

Let me go to Bali again and check if the ILS works

Edited: NOPE! It Doesn't.

Running ASUpater does not update anything. Sheesh. everything is becoming  a big production. sigh!

There are three buttons at the bottom which are hidden on your shot. You have to select the installed item and press the left one (Update).

AH.. OK

The updater tool looks very primitive. 

But I am unable to get to those buttons. The window is fixed..I cannot reduce it from full screen. Let me see if I can get rid of the bottom row of Win 10

I had to change my TV Resolution to make it visible. LOL 

My TV is 4 K but since I  still can't find the 3080 or the 3090 I am using a cheap video card... so I have my resolution at 2K instead of 4K. :P)

 

It's now updating. 

Aerosoft needs to fix their program to work in various resolution like any modern windows program.

Thanks Michael. LOL 🙂 I think I have updated my MSFS Aerosoft products.. so far I have been redownloading items from Aerosoft thinking I am current on my updates. HA HAHA! 

This is definitely poor design. Glad you solved it.

Kind regards, Michael

Hi,

I have a program called ASUpdater from Aerosoft installed on my PC, and hope someone can tell me if I can uninstall it without wrecking my MSFS.

Have recently been having issues with Honeycomb Bravo lights not working, and somehow ended up with this installation. Realize I should be asking Aerosoft, but just happen to browse this site and saw the thread.

Hope someone can help with good advice.
