Holger Sandmann Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hi there, welcome to Orbx! Please double-check the order number you've posted (69732) as it does not appear to be valid. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The radio button error is telling you that there is no registry entry for the simulator that you are trying to install into, in your case, FSX. The TweakFS FSX Registry Utility will write the correct registry entry in. In this case, FSX SE is installed into G:\FSX Steam\steamapps\common\FSX, yours may not be the same but the target needs to finish with \FSX. Set the boxes as I have highlighted in red and click on Set FSX Path. Once you have done this, the installers will find the location you entered. You need also to check that FSX SE is not running in coexistence mode. To do this, visit C:\ProgramData\Microsoft C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Local\Microsoft and check that there are no folders named FSX-SE.

EpicAshGames Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 hi there, did what you said and it is finding the old boxed version on fsx too, i have tried to delete all existence of this but it is still finding stuff some how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 First, change the Registry Entry to where your copy of FSX Steam is now installed. Then have a read of this topic which tells you how to reset the FSX Steam registry entry so that it does not run in coexistence mode. If you follow the guidance step by step, it will solve your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicAshGames Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 sorry you are proberly thinking im really stupid i followed step by step and FSX reset but the registry files on the editier thing dont match: Reg key- goes to flight sim 10.0 req folder goes to my steam fsx im so sorry if im annoying you is it me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 No problem. Use the SetPath function to change the registry entries so that they point to your FSX Steam installation. This picture shows you how to do it, you need only make sure that the path to the FSX Steam folder is correct. You do this by clicking on the file icon at the right of the Select FSX Root folder box and navigating to where your FSX folder is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yes it should, like this However, that is not connected to the radio button message. Please open the Tweak FS FSX Registry Utility and double check, using the GetPathfunction that both registry entries point to where you have FSX Steam installed.If you like, post a screenshot of each.You can take a screen shot by pressing the PrtScn (Print Screen) key and then openPaint.Select Edit\paste and you will see an image of what is on the screen.From there, use this topic to guide you towards posting the shot here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yes they are. I am running out of ideas here. The radio buttons message has only one meaning and you appear to have fixed the registry entries. I suppose you are asking the installer to install to FSX?

Surgo Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sorry for the bump but I have an identical issue to this with the Lancair IV-P. I have multiple other Orbx products installed without issue (Global Base/Vector/OpenLC NA). It is only the Lancair IV-P that I have trouble with. I have P3D 3. Do not have FSX, FSX:SE, or anything else ever installed on this machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hello and welcome to the forums. Probably you should revisit your FSS account page or your vendor if different and download the latest installer for the aircraft which is P3D v3 ready.
