  1. I attempted to install Windows 10 on my computer. It took forever and would only work in safe mode. I was unable to convert back to Windows 7. I had to take my computer to a shop and they converted it back to Windows 7. I still don't know what the issue(s) was. Is theer compatibility issues with Windows 10 and Microsoft FSX-SE? Thanks, hocdaddy
  2. Hi, I attempted to install Windows 10 from Windows 7. It took forever and it would only work in safe mode. I could not convert back to Windows 7. I ended up taking my computer to a shop and they converted it back. I still do not know why it didn't work. Are there known issues with Windows 10 and FSX-SE? Thanks, hocdaddy
  3. I purchased RAAS Professional in August of 2013. I recently purchased a new computer and I want to download to FSX, but I can't find the original download or my invoce. I don't remember where I purchased. C an someone help? Thanks, hocdaddy Actually I received notification of an update. I need the license key.
  4. Hi, I currently have FXS installed on my computer's C drive. I am experiencing performance issues. I have a 1.5 Terabyte external hard drive that I want to transfer FSX to. Do I need to do a new installation of FSX to the external drive? And if so, can I copy and paste all the add-on apps? I have apps that required a password and/or a license key at installation. Will I have to retrieve the information & reinstall as well? And if I can do it, will it corrupt FSX on the C drive in any way? When responding, can you explain in layman's terms, preferably in bulleted instructions. Thanks, hocdaddy
  5. Thanks, I'll try this
  6. I am see the following error messages when booting up FSX Scenery CFG File error Invalid remote scenery path in scenery area 115, as well as the same message for areas 126, 127, 129 & 133. I checked the Addon on Scenery file & I do have folders for scenery & texture. What do I do now? Thanks, Hocdaddy
  7. HI, Thanks for responses. The aircraft did originally work. I think I did try to open with note pad & it was just garbled. I've tried so many things. I won't be able to do anything else today. I have to go to work shortly, so I probably won't be able to try any of this until tomorrow evening. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow evening. Thanks again, Calvin
  8. HI, Thanks for the responses. I don't have a clue where to find these files you are talking about. Can you tell me how to access them? Below is the contents of the download. model, panel, sound, texture folders, paint kit (zip file) FLIGHT OPERATIOS MANAUAL (PDF FILE), C-5M (Air FIle), Aircraft (CFG File, which doesn't open, Internet Explorer) & an Uninstall. Thanks Calvin
  9. Thanks for the response. I am not a "tecky" person, so what do I need to do to correct the problem? Calvin
  10. Hi, I purchased this plane thru PC Aviator (download) in October. I experienced all types of problems. PC Aviator sent a disc. I got it installed (don't remember how) before receiving disc. I attempted to flyFriday & received the following error message "Aircraft Intialization Failure Area 51 Sim C-5m Super Galaxy". I uninstalled & reinstalled. Still having the same problem. Can anyone help? Also, I have never received a response from Area 51 Support in October/November regarding the original issues. I have sent them an email regarding this issue. Thanks in advance Calvin
  11. Thanks for the responses..I think I figured it out. If not, I'll be back. Thanks, hocdaddy
  12. Hi, I recently installed World of AI. It appears to have installed without any problems, but I can't see any of the airlines I installed. There was not an option to select airports in the installation, just aircraft. When I select Airports & I click on a specific airline, It goes to the page & then everything disappears. This only happens on my computer, but not on my tablet??? On my tablet. the airports do appear & I can download them. So, when I log in to FSX, will they appear in the airport(s)? The only problem is I don't have FSX on my tablet, just on my computer. Can someone help?? Thanks, hocdaddy
  13. Hi, I finally got the C-5M Super Galaxy to install. Not sure how, but it works. I sent an email to the Area 51 link you provided on the 8th. Still haven't got a response. Once again, Thanks. hocdaddy
  14. Thanks, That took care of the "Air" message. Still can't get it to work though. I'll contact Area 51 through the link. Thanks again, hocdaddy.
  15. thanks fellas I'll try that let you know what happens.
  16. Hi, I am attempting to install C-5M Super Galaxy plane. After installation, I don't see the files in FSX path. I have my UAC down, I turned off my virus scan, & the path I'm puting it on is Programs(x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX. I have Windows 7 OS, 64 bit. I have unzipped the file & have Run as Administrator, but still can't see it. I'm doing this from the disc. If I use the path on the CD, it puts it out there, but the folder is empty. When I click on the CSM_FSX icon to install I get an "AIR" file error message. I cannot contact Area 51 because my virus scan blocks it. Says there is a virus attached to that site. Can someone help? Thanks, hocdaddy

  19. Thanks, I'll try this Hope it works. I'll let you know. hocdaddy
  20. Hi, I recently had to uninstall & reinstall FSX. I am attempting to add SDK to FSX, but when I insert disc 1, it immediately starts the installation. If I stop the installation & click on the FSX symbol, to gett the SDK folder, it just loops & never opens. I had previously installed SDK without a problem before the uninstall. Can someone help?
