Uninstalling A2A

[Rarebear]

Hey guys, As I had mentioned previously im on a new Pc and Im trying to get a bunch of bugs worked out.

Somehow all of my a2a stuff isnt working properly so im trying to un install all of a2a stuff and RE install. but not sure how to do the Uninstall part. any tips? thanks.

Use the windows control panel, programs uninstaller.

For those airplanes with a separate Accu-Sim pack, always uninstall in this order:
- Accu-Sim pack
- Airplane

Out of interest whats the issue your encountered?

Most common issue with new builds is not updating FSX correctly to the latest version or the windows 0S itself prior to installing the simulations, including our A2A ones. A reinstall of the A2A software would not cure any of those issues, as its the core platform that needs setting up first.

Things to check;
FSX service packs/Acceleration if disc edition?
Windows all updated?
Drivers all updated correctly and not just running default MS Windows drivers?
Direct X9 files all installed and updated correctly?

thanks,
Lewis

I know this is an old thread now, but is it a problem with A2A or other addons? Did you try to reinstall simconnect? I find that it's a problem some times. Also, though A2A don't use it, FSUIPC can affect addons as well.

Thanks Guys, I was traveling for a couple of weeks and I couldnt get on here. I was able to un install all the a2a stuff.

Lewis. I am not sure what the deal is.

heres my spiel. I had my old hardrive placed into my new pc only as a readable drive not as a windows running drive since I couldnt get it to start because of the clean install on my new pc due to new drivers needed installation before they started up. weird I know.


I copy pasted most of my stuff back like Log.bin and aircraft but then noticed that it just wasnt recognizing all my stuff so I completely uninstalled everything and am now at a complete clean install.

I am about to give up because I am getting an appcrash just random 2-5 minutes into the simulation. I had a BEX crash and fixed that I installed the UI automactioncore no success, disabled my antivirus nada and the appcrash im getting right now is FSX.exe not sure why.

By the way, The A2A stuff was working properly in the new install.

I was getting like engines exploding in the P51 after 2 minutes with high Manifold Pressure. stuff breaking randomly having to go to the garage and stuff. just weird stuff. I think its cause I merged an old installation to a new one. Im starting completely new now.

If you haven't nuked your existing install yet, issues like broken A2A planes are often caused by faulty Simconnect. Maybe try uninstalling/reinstalling that before you go for a clean FSX install?

Sounds like you may have tried moving files rather than installing? Never a good idea unless you know 100% all windows locations for the file directories and even I often forget them + you then end up with missing reg entries which can cause issues.

I would nuke your FS installation delete anything left over and then restart your machine run a reg cleaner and restart again. Then reinstall to start over and remember to install not move from another hard drive. If you want to keep hours with the A2A software all you need move over after a valid installation is the .dat files.

Prior to installing anything though you need to get FSX be it disc or steam edition installed and running. Only once its running and working should you be installing the third party software such as ours.

thanks,

I have a thing about the C172

So I installed the updates for A2A which I updated the C172
The oil temp would not work, like it was broken so I tried to delete the plane And reinstall but there is no uninstaller AND i DON'T know how to do it

Hello Billy,

if you can create a new thread with your exact issue we can better help you. A reinstall is rarely needed and we advise against it for simple issues as it can do more harm than good on an installation, causing more frustration down the road.

For your issue for example, it sounds like a breaker has gone and you missed it during your pre-flight checks.

thanks,
Lewis
