Would it be better to add this to the misfit airport topic to save Neil from looking for them? I can merge it if you wish?

To MotoDave, I have merged your trees report with this topic so that it can be fixed. See post 83.

Hello and welcome to the forums. At the moment there is no FTX product that covers Northern France.

Hello Neil, This has been added to the Vector forum, just for your information.

If FSX boxed is the only FSX version on a PC, clearly the correct installer and FTX Central version to use is the FSX one. In any case, there will only be a choice of FSX in the installer drop down menu and FTX Central will simply start and manipulate FSX files. Some confusion may arise when FSX Steam Edition is the only FSX version on the PC. If it has been correctly installed, the installer and FTX Central should recognise it as FSX boxed and behave as above. Sometimes, however, the installer and/or FTX Central will register that there is a copy of both versions, when in fact there is not. If this occurs and FSX Steam Edition is the only version installed, it must be treated as if it were FSX boxed, again as above. If either the FSX Steam Edition installer option of the FTX Central FSX Steam Edition option are used, files will be placed in misnamed folders and FTX Central will not see them and generate an error message. This may seem a little counter-intuitive but the FSX Steam Edition installer and FTX Central options are only for where both versions are installed on the same PC.

Perhaps it's because I am a moderator. I have no problem if anyone needs their signature editing. I have done dozens so far and only need to be asked.

Hello, You might be as well including one order number form each e mail address. I checked the number you have given and that covers about 25 products? The software will never pick up a purchase and mis-identify it as pirated. It looks only for pirated software. If you add a spoiler to your signature, you can add as much information to it as you wish and only those who wish to read it can do so by opening the spoiler. It's the little eye in the menu at the top of the edit box.

Excellent, thanks very much.

Please try again.

Help given.

As above, one order number from the FSS is enough. At present, I see none.

Yes, one order number from the Flight Sim Store is enough.

Unless every trace of FSX is eliminated from the Windows Registry, or it is being installed on a freshly installed operating system, FSX Steam will install in "Co-existence" mode This means that it will create external folders named FSX-SE rather than FSX. In this case, although the FTX software may install correctly, neither the installer nor FTX Central will be able to locate the scenery.cfg file. If you encounter this error message, the following is a fix which will work whether there are traces of FSX remaining or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have already installed any products or scenery, before you start, back up the contents of your C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE and C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE folders to another location. Once the fix is applied, the back ups can be copied into the new C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX and C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX folders that will be created the next time that FSX Steam is run. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The registry editor is not complex but must be used with care. It is highly unlikely that problems will be encountered with this simple edit. To open the Registry Editor, select Search from your Windows menu and type in regedit which will find regedit.exe. Click on this to run the Registry Editor. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition where you will see a Registry Key named Co-existence. You will see that its value is 1. Right click on the Co-existence key and select Modify... and change the value to 0 (zero). Close the Registry Editor. You can then go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\ and in each case delete the FSX-SE folder. If you see an FSX folder, delete that also. Then restart FSX-SE and new folders named FSX will be created. Once you have done this, the file structure will match what the installers and FTX Central expect to find for FSX and they will work correctly. EDIT: Now that there are product installers for FSX and FSX-SE, if you apply this fix and have only FSX-SE on your PC, you MUST use the FSX installer, not the FSX_SE option. Credit for the registry fix to Steve Waite at the Avsim forum. I have tried it and it works for me exactly as I have written. As I have both versions on my PC, I have also found that the process is entirely reversible.

It does seem that it is very difficult to remove all traces of FSX. The TweakFS Registry utility will write your registry entry for you. http://www.tweakfs.com/store/free_tools.php Then use this guide http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/93155-cant-get-orbx-to-work-with-fsx-se/#entry847348 to make FSX-SE use external folders named FSX and not FSX-SE and you should be fine.

If you install FSX Steam onto a clean OS, you won't need to change any registry entries, they will be exactly the same as FSX, as will the external folder names. The installers will all work as expected.

Yes, I have. Please consult this excellent topic where you will find the solution to your problem. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/89673-temporary-workaround-for-installing-orbx-scenery-with-fsxse/

As I understand, no. The present installer will work if only FSX-SE is installed but not if both are. There is a very useful topic here http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/89673-temporary-workaround-for-installing-orbx-scenery-with-fsxse/ which explains how to make the present installer work with a dual installation. By the way, your question is answered in the very first post in this topic..........

I can't see any difference between your entries and mine. One way to achieve what you have would be to have your FTX Central shortcut still pointing to the one in FSX. You need two versions of FTX Central as I am sure you know, therefore two separate shortcuts.

No, I'm sorry I don't know. I do have a copy of FSX SE and I have attempted to install various products into it with mixed success. I have now removed them again as they all work perfectly well in FSX. My decision is to wait until there are proper fixes for the problems.

Yes it is, yes it has and yes there is.

Hello Teecee, Until there is an "official" FSX.SE app, have a read here, where there is a workaround. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/89673-temporary-workaround-for-installing-orbx-scenery-with-fsxse/
