Thank you so much. My B17 now has lights again. I'll report this to DTG, hopefully it will help them out

A2A and a few others yes, another it got the strobes but still no nav lights, figured it out quite by accident and was fixing to post when you did first lol. But it's a good start to solving it and is a great find

This is only a workaround for some effects many are still missing.Matthijs wrote:Fix for missing effects: move your special effects slider from HIGH to MEDIUM.

I agree, but it's by far better than nothing!

Re: How to install A2A Aircraft into FSX Steam release
We don't support any uncommenting of the effects, esp as this is an FSX Steam bug which we believe will be fixed in a future update.
thanks,
Lewis

Simconnect installation
Some users may also have to install simconnect. You can do this by running the simconnect installer included with FSX Steam, edition. The default path for this is;
"Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-XPACK\SimConnect.msi"
Re: How to install A2A Aircraft into FSX Steam release
Hello everyone,
Would anyone know how to manually install the B377 Stratocruiser to the FSX Steam release? For some reason, the installation program is telling me that it cannot find FSX.EXE file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX folder, and that my installation may be corrupt. I was able to install all my other aircraft (P51, P47, B-17, etc.) after this without any problems. I am running a dual setup with the boxed version installed to the default directory, and it works fine. I tried installing simconnect, but it did not resolve the issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Jim

Hi,
I downloaded and installed yesterday FSX SE on a new PC (v10.0.62608.0).
Today, I have downloaded and installed A2A C182 and run the updater (11-20-14).
FSX SE destination folder has been found automatically.
I have two SimConnect.dll files : one under C:\Windows\winsxs\x86-microsoft.flightsimulator.si.... , another under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\...
The aircraft is all broken !

Re: How to install A2A Aircraft into FSX Steam release
During the install of a FsDreamteam scenery this morning, I have noticed that the simconnect system was updated.
Now I have 3 SimConnect.dll files (one more Under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\...).
And A2A C182 is no more broken.

Hello. Just purchased the A2A B17 kit and am have a little trouble. Engines smoking on start and continually, and can not figure out how to get to the hangar. Thanks for the help, in advance. Love the plane, and look forward to learning this and enjoying being a member. Thanks
Re: How to install A2A Aircraft into FSX Steam release
I purchased the steam version of FSX, installed all three A2A planes but they do not show up when I try to load them in FSX. All three have been added to the Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX folder but they do not show up in FSX, what am I doing wrong?
Re: How to install A2A Aircraft into FSX Steam release
Found the hangar and such, but still can not figure out the smoke from engines. Tried adjusting the Rich and Lean setting, but to no avail. Thanks for any help. C

you will want to post in the relevant tech support or if a general use issue general forum for your simulation. The manual for your simulation can be found under your start menu >> all programs >> A2A Simulations
