Ron,
Sorry, I missed this one. You can also delete your DAT files in your Windows DOCUMENTS / A2A / B377 folder.


Jason,
You can install the full COTS over any 377 install.

Cheers Scott.

For an extra $10 it's worth it for me to get that version and not have the hassle of all installing all those other older files at reinstallation time.

I'm not sure I understand everything I know here, but I had to uninstall A2A Stratocruiser from my computer using Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs yesterday. I discovered I could not get the engines to start on any jet airplane. There was no fuel flow. I could start the Cessna and Beechcraft piston engines but not jets.

This is not the first time I have encountered an issue with Payware aircraft. I had to uninstall the Just Flight B727 last week as it made FSX crash to desktop when any other airplane model was chosen. The only Payware aircraft I have now is the CLS Airbus A330/340 which seems to work just fine.

I love the Stratocruiser as I used to watch them take off from KMSP in the 1950's and I also love the complexity the sim builders have provided. But I don't just fly Stratocruisers!

Just a quick question - does the install need internet?
Due to house move I'm disconnected for a while :(

Install doesn't but the updater will yes and that will ideally need to be run.

thanks,

Hey guys,

I want to use 377 COTS with FSX SE.

I've got two files to download: wos_377.exe and wos_377_v2_full.exe. Am I right with installing only the second one?
The first one is asking for either FSX SP2 or FSX Acceleration.

Thanks in advance,
Zacke

You guys are outstanding! Finally figured out user name and password issue. I was sent a e-mail with old download links to my account. j3 plus 377, got the 377v2full but not the wos_377.exe which if i'm understanding right will help with the missing sound files. Would that be correct? going back for more reading...

Yes, you should have two files for your 377.

I apologize for the inconvenience. The issue should be all fixed now. Let me know if you need anything else. :)

Thanks,
Mark

Thank you, downloading now. BTW I used to drive by Simbury Airport to and from work at R and R power in Granby CT. I see a A2A banner on a plane in the parking area from time to time, are you located there? The yearly fly in is outstanding.

Thank you, I have downloads. Now do I uninstall thru windows the V2 exe that I installed and do a fresh install? First wos_377exe,then V2 full, then updater? Or does the order matter?
