installation A2A c172

Post by punkrock4201 »

hi I'm having issues locating the plane in fsx steam.. installation seem to go alright.. install it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\fsx\common... I also ran the updater http://www.a2asimulations.com/downloads ... _12_17.zip, it was unable to locate the plane...
ive tried uninstalling everything, the game and the download.. I'm getting pretty frustrated... any help will be greatly appreciated...im operating windows 10 HP intel i5...

Hello,

when you run the installer did everything auto detect ok for you or did you have to manually browse to your steam location?

thanks,

I'm having the same problem too. I had to manually type in my P3D location. It wanted to go to the C drive, but I had to force it to go to the D drive. I couldn't even browse to it, I had to type 'D' in. P3D is the only thing in my 'D' drive.

Hello,

if you can post in a new thread the exact issue you are having for your P3D platform we can then better help you. P3D as a platform is very different to FSX, the installer should be read and the manual for the base platform P3D itself should be understood. For example P3Dv4 add-ons are installed external to the platform itself.

thanks,
Lewis

Hello,

if your fsx is all setup correctly you can simple follow the on screen instructions to install the aircraft sim into your platform. The directory etc will be automatically found using your systems registry. Which part of the install are you having issues with?
