A2A 172 Trainer - Not Seeing GPS

Post by majorjg »

Have both the Flight 1 GTN 650 / 750 and Mindstar 430/ 530 add-on GPS installed and running FSX Steam Edition.
My problem is when I try adding the GPS by running as Administrator the A2A C172 Aircraft Configurator, it does not add either the Flight 1 or Mindstar GPS.
Curious thing is when I try to add the GPS for the A2A 180 Cherokee using its Aircraft Configurator, I'm able to successfully add either Flight 1 or Mindstar GPS no problems.
I'm only having problems with the A2A 172 Trainer aircraft. I tried uninstalling the GPS and the 172 Trainer and then doing a clean install, it still won't work. I also ran the A2A Updated to make sure I'm not missing any updates. I'm out of ideas, there must be something I'm doing wrong because I searched the forum and no one seems to be having the problem I am with installing the 3rd party GPS.

Hello,

when you uninstalled did you remove the updater folder so on the reinstall the updater would fully fun and update correctly?

When you are in the aircraft what happens when you use your shift + 3 panel to change the gps options in the sim?

thanks,
Lewis

Deleting the FSX/A2A/Cesna172/Update_fsx folder solved my problem.

After the Update_fsx folder was deleted, I ran the Accu-Sim Update tool, which applied the C172 update. After the patch was applied, I am now happy to report its allowing me to add my 3rd Party GPS.

Thanks Lewis
