12 years later. Just had the same problem. Lvl-D is buggy. Think I'll quit using it.

Yes, I have a nice way of killing threads. I'll quit posting if I'm bothering everybody. Apologies. Maybe I can find a more friendly site somewhere else. I'll figure it out on my own, I guess.

Yes, that was meant as a closing statement. It's a long way, but I guess I could go over to the proper forum.

So I suppose it doesn't work using P3Dv3, right?

I certainly have a way with killing a thread, it seems.

Of course I am kidding, but if I had the money, I certainly would, and may save up for it, anyway. ha

I recently read that the P3D registry should not be messed with like was able in FSX/FS9. Kinda worried about messing things up even more.

Oh yes, just noticed this was from my OP when I had FS9. Apologies. The auto installer allows me to select a package, but when I select the 2nd box below where to install it (it says FS2004 path) when the folder opens it then says "Select WOAI package" and it sees no packages in the P3D folder of course. Shouldn't when I select "FS2004 Path" allow me to pick what folder I want it installed in? And I cannot even select the option that says "Target". It is blanked out. Is there a seperate FSX installer I am not aware of? Am I using a FS9 installer when I should be using the FSX one? I thought there was only one. I must have some kind of major registry problems going on. IDK. I am about through with this headache. It's been going on off and on for at least five years.

If anyone who is using WOAI using all the packages could send me a copy of their main woai.cfg file found in the main folder, it would be appreciated. I'm using P3Dv3, if it makes any difference. Not sure if this will solve anything though as I'm programming-stupid. Thanks. Or at least someone please point me to instructions as to how to point the WOAI installer so that my aircraft folders do not end up in the WOAI installer folder or elsewhere. After running the auto install today, it seemed to be working all of a sudden, only that not one of the a/c folders ended up in my P3D folder (where I do have a fsx.exe icon) but in the WOAI installer folder for some reason. All I want to know is how to point this stupid thing to the proper folder. I have the P3D main folder installed on my desktop, not in x86 Program Files as per previous suggestions, here. (Win 8.1) And I searched my whole computer and no woai.cfg file was even found, so I don't know where that went. I don't really want to install all 200+ packages manually.

Well, there's no "going back" unless I want to go out and just buy Windows 7. I might just buy a whole new computer, go back to 7 and install FS9, since we are ten years away from anything working in P3Dv3. At least for me it doesn't. Maybe I could hire one of you smart fellas to fly you out here and fix everything for me. That might be the best idea, yet. I'm getting so frustrated after years of trying to get things to work right, I'm willing to pay ten grand just to have a working flight sim.

So it is not a matter of simply adding the woai.cfg file information to the main woai.cfg file? I spent all last night copying and pasting one airline after another onto the main woai.cfg file and overwriting all aircraft folders as I dumped them into the simobjects folder. I have to manually change all the individual aircraft config files in each aircraft folder??? Man this will take the rest of my life if this is the case. I never have been able to get the autoinstall to work. It always puts folders where they dont go. I find them in my documents folder, in my C: folder, all over except in the flightsim folder. I put my P3D main folder not in program Files x86 folder but on the desktop as I am running win 8.1. Maybe this has everything to do with it, but it is my guess that the WOAI installer just sucks. Of course it works fine for all of you, but for someone that has my bad luck, it surprises me not one bit. I guess I'll get started on the manual install, one file at a time.Maybe I'll be done before retirement age. <sigh>

I just now seen this post, almost two years later. My FS9 worked for awhile using Win8, but I guess my computer fell apart or something and eventually, FS9 quit working altogether in Win8 or 8.1, whatever it is now... I installed P3Dv3 so I now have a whole new bunch of problems. Still, on the same computer, still unable to use WOAI installer on auto. Maybe it's this junk Toshiba laptop, idk. P3D works fine on it, it's just I am unable to: 1. Fly online using any pilot client. 2. Use MAIW sceneries 3. Change AI aircraft labels using config 4. Use most utility addons. Yesterday, WOAI was working using manual extraction, but today it quit working with all attempts trying everything. I managed to install most US airlines, but nothing works now. I get the same irritating error window that WOAI is so notorious for. I guess I gotta wait another 25 years until someone is smart enough to figure all of this FS mess out. Not me. I'm just an average, stupid, Joe. Or what, buy a new $6000 computer so everything will run properly. One or the other. Too late to go get a degree in computer science, so I can invent my own flight simulator.

Since there is nowhere to get a complete WOAI Fedex package, or any other, I am wondering how difficult it is to make a new one. I have never attempted anything like this and have zero experience with repaints, but I am so fed up with not having Fedex in my flightsim world, I am thinking about trying to create a whole new package from scratch. Where would I begin? Can the general design idiot like myself undertake such a product or is this something a guy needs much experience with? Thanks, Andrew

Not having any luck using P3Dv3. But I am not having any luck getting anything to run in P3Dv3 add-on wise.

But what about the aircraft label config problem? I cant get mine to save so that it will show airline and flight plan.

Yup. Same problem here. You can't change the config file to show AI aircraft flightplan or airline. Very frustrating and it takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. But I guess the intention of LM is not "fun", from what I've read. I have P3Dv3 and I cant get anything to work. I cant fly on VATSIM or IVAO, I cant use many addon programs. I got WOAI working but MAIW for military bases and aircraft is totally incompatible (more fun gone for me) and this was my favorite part about using FS9. But to not even be able to adjust the config to show something as simple as aircraft labels as you want them, is just ridiculous. I'm skeptical and I doubt this problem will be addressed by LM any time soon. I am starting to think I screwed up buying P3D. I never liked FSX and I hate the feel of XPX. We need a new flight sim that is totally reworked from the ground up using all of the great tech that has come out as of late. I thought P3D might be it until I learned it was based on Microsoft outdated technologies. I guess we gotta wait another ten years, at least.

Yeah this is working great in P3Dv3 so far.

Thanks a lot man. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for responding or at least pointing me to what I need to know. I can't find anything on this.

Hey, thanks a lot, Jim. I appriciate it.

So what happened to the list? I was wanting to install the latest freeware airport package from the ORBX website. Is there no longer a list of the airports included?

I've been using computers since about 1980, and you guys make me feel like a complete idiot. lol How and where did you guys learn all of this stuff?

I tried installing SB 4.0 on P3D without ever having FSX installed; only FS9 (uninstalled). It says it cannot find any microsoft flight sim product. Of course, because there is none. Am I even using the right SB version for P3Dv3 on Win8.1?

I am trying to install Squawkbox 4 on P3Dv3. It is telling me that a valid version of FSX, FS2002 or FS9 cannot be found on my system. I have P3D installed in a folder outside the default one. I thought SB worked in P3D. Win 8.1 running here. I never owned or used FSX, only FS9 and I deleted it all when 8.1 no longer ran FS9. How do I get SB to recognize P3D? Thanks.

Hey, thanks a lot. Just Notepad was all, huh? lol
