Download problems - Cherokee 180(FSX)

Post by terryuk41 »

Hi, I am having problems installing the Piper Cherokee 180 I have downloaded it twice and I am still experiencing problems. I am on fsx steam and have uninstalled and re-installed steam, plus all add-ons i.e.
scenery, airports, weather etc so there shouldn't be any conflicting progammes. My Order No. is 122681. 16th August. After downloading the last time I recieved a warning that the .exe files had not installed properly and found that I had no sound at all plus no engine startup, using either control+E or manual start, there were one or two other minor problems as well. I have a gaming rig which has loads of available capacitiy, especially since I uninstalled all the add-ons. Also, is it necessary to disable my anti-virus before downloading.

Hope you can help,
Thanks, Terryuk41

Hello and welcome to the forums,

first off a quick warning that one of the worst things you can do is to reinstall over and over to try and solve an issue, it can often result in frustration for the person doing it.

So lets get you up and flying with some troubleshooting, first off is to ask if you tried a simconnect install and also if you have run the latest Accu-sim updater to get all updated;

Hi Lewis,
Thank you for getting back to me, at the moment I don't have the Cherokee installed, I have run the latest accu-sim updater as advised but I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by a simconnect install.
When I log in to my account it states I have one download remaining which is a bit worrying, so if your could explain the procedures to do a simconnect install, I would be very grateful and once again, do I need to disable my antivirus.
Thanks again,
Terryuk41.

It's not a bad idea to disable any antivirus software when installing something like the Cherokee Terryuk41, especially if it's third-party AV software you use such as Norton.

Something else to try if you're experiencing problems is to right-click the A2A Cherokee installer and use the "run as administrator" option.

With a current installation of FSX-SE, the SimConnect client should be installed by default. However, to check it's installed properly, go to the following directory...

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-XPACK

...right click the "SimConnect.msi" installer, and select "repair".

Thanks,
Nick

I see Nick has you pretty much sorted 8)

If you let me know the order number from the A2A Store I can bump those downloads up for you.

cheers,
