Hallo,
Just downloaded the C172 in MSFS2020. However I cannot find the place where to select it and/or start it in FS2020. Your help please.

Cannot find the installed C172 in MSFS2020

Post by Richardwagner »

Today I purchased the C172 from A2A and tried to install it.
However I can’t find that C172 in my MSFS2020 airplane list.
I have installed it in the Community folder, showing the A2A folder. Then I open the Cessna 172 folder and the UNWISE.EXE file, followed by the message that the INSTALL.LOG file cannot be find.
I also tried the file C172 Input configurator.exe from the TOOLS folder which request the .NET 3.5(incl. .NET 2.0 and 3.0) However Windows refused to download that file probably because I notice a higher version .NET4 on my DeskTop
Can anybody tell me how to proceed in the right way?

Unfortunately there is no way to make it work. Whichever version of the 172 you bought will be for FSX or P3D and not MSFS. A2A has their Comanche on the way for the new sim, but have not released any aircraft for MSFS to date.

Cheers,

Hello,

yes as Rob says, the C172 we sell is either for FSX or P3D and not MSFS as noted on the store. Please can you let me know the order number and ill get that sorted for you.

thanks,

Perhaps adding a MSFS (2020) page in the store, even without any entries, could help prevent confusion going forward? The new sim is exploding in popularity.

We will add that once we have products as otherwise that would add to any confusion, for now it should be good as FSX is FSX, the name is different the acronym is different and when googled there is nearly 16 years of results for FSX being its own platform.
