When I try to install the GTN to my T-6 I get the error
"Access to the path 'C:/Users/x/Documents/Prepar3D v4 addons/A2A/SimObjects/Airplanes/A2A_T6_Texan/Panel/panel.cfg' is denied"
I have already tried running as administrator. I believe it is another one of the myriad of permissions problems caused by Windows 10. I tried everything I could to make the Prepar3D v4 Addons folder not read-only and taking ownership of panel.cfg but nothing works.
If someone gives me the code inserted into panel.cfg for the GTN650 configuration I could put it in manually. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
what happens when you select run as admin?
Also where have you installed the aircraft, is it to the default my docs location for P3D Add-ons?
thanks,
Lewis

Just for reference, windows folder permissions hasn't changed too much over the years, its still the same basic use to give your user account full permissions;

Re: T-6 Aircraft Configurator - access error on GTN650 insta
I run as administrator every time and I get this same error. The aircraft is installed to the default Prepar3D v4 Addons folder. For some reason this folder is stuck on read-only (both unchecking it and taking ownership of it does not do anything, it always reverts to read only) which I think may have to do with the problem.Lewis - A2A wrote:Hello,

I followed this to the letter and I am still getting the same error. Is it possible you could post the code that is added to panel.cfg by the configurator, and I can just paste it in manually?Lewis - A2A wrote:Just for reference, windows folder permissions hasn't changed too much over the years, its still the same basic use to give your user account full permissions;

You should just be able to manually swap around panel.cfg files. If you make a copy of the "panel_F1_650.cfg" file and rename it to just "panel.cfg" to replace the existing version, it should achieve what you're after.Flightfreak wrote:Is it possible you could post the code that is added to panel.cfg by the configurator, and I can just paste it in manually?
However, if you have an outstanding issue with write permissions to other folders in the "Documents" directory, it's likely you'll encounter problems with the Accu-Sim simulation.

Re: T-6 Aircraft Configurator - access error on GTN650 insta
Thanks Nick, this is good info. I’m hoping since I have taken ownership of the files and my user has full control over them I won’t have problems. But perhaps I will just need to do a Windows reinstall if the issue persists, I’m not sure what else to do.Nick - A2A wrote:You should just be able to manually swap around panel.cfg files.

The Windows 10 read-only problem is will documented on the web and has potential to cause serious issues with Prepar3D IMO.

Good to hear, hope you get that windows issue sorted. I guess it could be a user account issue with your account itself not being full admin level.
thanks,
