The A2A Simulations Community

Dear Professionals,
I know that this has been covered in here before but for the life of me I can't seem to find it again. I purchased the Bf-109 back in March and the installs went fine. Must have because I flew it after the installs and all looked good and was good to go. I had to attempt a re-install, and the Bf-109 installer runs fine. But when I try to run the Bf-109 fix the installer tells me that it "can't find a valid FSX install". Then it asks me to type a path to a valid install of FSX, which I do then it tells me that it "can't find the Wings of Power II Me-109" and tells me to install that first. So.......here I am trying to figure this out and any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Respectfully,
RR

Hello,

If you get that message when selecting the FSX file try going up a level as you may be going too far into the folder structure.

Also if it cannot find FSX it could be a corrupt registry entry, did you recently reinstall FSX?

Thanks,
Lewis

Hey Lewis..........thanks for the quick response. I have not done a re-install of FSX, but I have fixed the problem with a freeware FSX registry repair tool. I think I got it from Flight 1. Now all is good as far as I can tell. I was able to get the patch to install and my new Bf-109 displayed "good to go" in the FSX preview window. Will test it out in flight tomorrow, and will re-contact if any issues.

Many Thanks
RR

Great stuff, the reg repair tool would have been my next post

thanks,
Lewis

Howdy Lewis,
The 109 is on station and reporting up to the second!! I was also able to put the FS9 textures into my FSX 109 by putting an ( _t) at the end of each texture in the folder, thanks to additional instructions that I also found on the A2A site. Now I have approximately 50 repaints for my 109 and they all look great!!! Ya'll do an excellent job over there and we simmers are all very grateful.

Cool that you solved it. And yes, the Emil is fantastic. Even if the plane does not have all those modern "bump maps" or "specular maps" it is a top notch model with fantastic "old school" texture work. And there are tons of repaints as you have already mentioned!

Rgr that sir..........I love this plane!! Gonna have to place a landing light effect on it though. I like to fly FSX day and night so the Emil is gonna need to light up that runway!!
