Unable to load Cherokee180_FSX_v.2.0.EXE

OS is Windows 10 Pro.

Just downloaded the Subject line and it will NOT allow install unless I execute it as Administrator but when I right mouse on the .EXE the Run as Administrator option is NOT presented.

Work around???

Thx, Jim

Hello Jim - have you actually extracted the downloaded zip file to a new folder? Simply double-clicking the zip file and then trying to run the *.exe while it's still compressed could cause issues.

Thanks,
Nick

You're welcome Jim. :) If you haven't already done so, please also download and run the Accu-Sim update from here to make sure you've got the latest features and fixes.

Thanks,
Nick

Thx again. Downloaded the update. Another issue

I am such a needy Forum user.

Now the Cherokee graphic is just a cabin with a seated pilot and a jumper tumbling out the back.

Will this ever end so I can fly?????

Thx guys, Jim

If you are using plain old FSX without Acceleration, then you will need to download SP1 and SP2 from Microsoft and apply those.

If using any other version do not apply those updates.

According to my OS Win 10 I am current with respect to Service Packs.

Every other Graphic works fine. The only one with an issue is this Cherokee EXE.

Since there is no A2A phone support and this just doesn't work, how do I go about getting a fresh download of the S/W or get a refund?

Rgds, Jim

Hello Jim,

It's not a Windows service pack which Oracle427 is referring to; it's the service packs for the original disk version of FSX itself. You should download and install both SP1 and SP2 if you use the original disk edition of FSX. (But not, as Oracle says, if you use FSX Acceleration, FSX Gold or FSX-SE).

FSX is a rather old piece of software, hence the rather complex list of possibilities. If you can let us know which edition of FSX you use, it'll be easier to help. The FSX service packs can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/Products/Game ... fault.aspx.

Thanks,
Nick

Hello,

yes if using the old FSX disc version and not the Steam edition, you will have to manually update the software using the two FSX Service Packs from Microsoft. Its a simple download and installation, just remember to restart after installation and you should be good to go in no time.

thanks,
Lewis
