Thank you for your response and sorry it took me a while to find it. I wish to run the software on FSX.
As for the files, In the "Getting Started" install material, it says an add on is in My Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\Reality XP GNS There is no such folder showing in my documents. There's obviously some stuff there, but I haven't found a file to open this thing and make it work and it doesn't appear to have the same things in the same folders indicated in the manual. I see a note in some documentation that says: This product requires Prepar3d v4, v3, v2, v1, FSX-SE, FSX-ACC/SP2, FS9-SP1. I have no idea what that is.
There is, however, a Reality XP folder on my C drive that has the simulator set up, proof of purchase, key and license files. Then, in the Program Files, there are Gauges and GNS Simulation folders with their respective content.
When I try to install the simulator and check (or don't check) all the boxes other than the default, it asks for a location to install it, but has no default. I have no idea where to install this. The closest thing I can find is C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\GNS Simulation but when I try that it says it's not a vaild Flight Simulator 9 folder. What's up with FS9? I bought this product on the basis of it saying it was for FSX?
It seems like I got further than this on the original attempt and that it was acting like it was going to do a plug & play install, but no luck. I tried running FSX and nothing. Looked in the folders referenced in the "Getting Started", and nothing.
As you might imagine, not being a tech, I'd much rather be spending my time flying the sim with a nice GNS430w.
I appreciate your help in advance
Thanks,
Bob
