P3D v5.2 and CaptainSim ACE

[aspen31 4]

Hi all

Apologies if I should have posted this elsewhere but I could not find any forum (aside from Captain Sim) more suitable.

I recently switched to P3D v5.2 and have discovered that the Captain Sim ACE will no longer open. I have ACE set as an exclusion in my McAfee antivirus but it makes no difference (had previously solved the problem). I've also tried to activate ACE with McAfee turned off but no joy there either. Just wondering if anyone else may have experienced this and found a workaround. I did post at the Captain Sim forum but have received no reply thus far.

Thanks in advance

Warren

I have no issues with the 757 & 767 ACE with P3dV5 HF1.

I have actually had that issue happen a while ago... I don't really know what triggered, but it was solved by uninstalling all CS products (also make sure to delete all their stuff in SimObjects within root P3D, SimObjects in the User/AppData/Roaming/P3D, and various other CS folders that are put into the usual places). Then reinstall. That did it for me.

Thanks

I want to try that but have apparently exceeded my quota of activations - have asked for some sort of extension but have heard nothing so far.

Hi again all

Think its fixed. I was able to re-download my aircraft and in starting the initial part of the install a new ACE with the appropriate .exe must have also been added. Not exactly sure how it all worked but I have ACE functioning again at least until McAfee has at it again.

Thanks for the help

My Norton did the same.  I thought many times about ditching it and just using defender.  But the thought of having to redo all the exclusions makes me kick the can...
