unable to install into steam edition of fsx

Post by KotatehFox »

does the 377 work in the steam edition? it should, but its saying that the directory wasent found or there is some corruption in the fsx folder..anyway its something like that..i dont use the boxed version anymore and would like to fly this airliner..so any help would be appriciated..should also note that i bought it from simmarket, i also did find a fix here: https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewto ... 4&start=15 but it doesent work and really doesent make much sense...

Just a thought... I don't have Steam or P3D but I noticed in another thread that someone having trouble installing to P3D found that you need to put the fsx.exe file in the root folder of P3D, point the installer at that and then it will install.
What is Steam's executable called? If it's different, then try the P3D method and copy the fsx.exe into steam's root folder & see what happens.

It should work ok just point it to the relevant folder if its not auto detected and install. Ive justed tested by reinstalling the 377 here at the moment into my FSX which is steam edition.

What directory are you installing into?

thanks,

im installing it into the steam directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX\

the only other aircraft ive had issues installing is the sibwings an-2 it just refuses to show up, though its installation goes through without issue..

im not a fan of the installation haha..if i pay $50 for something, i dont wanna have these issues! :lol: eh..well worth it though, its an amazing aircraft. I actually spent about half my paycheck on the thing, and im not over exaggerating at all (i dont make much at all) but the enjoyment i get from the t6, the comanche and the skylane is something that cant be replaced easily, i cant wait for the next cots aircraft to release..i would like to one day maybe see a boeing stearman or maybe a solid dc-3/c-47..curious to see whats next ont he list..totally off topic i know, im bad about that...
