Nick Cooper Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You should install using the FSX installer. If you have FSX Steam Edition properly installed, the installer should point to its folder. If it does not, please return to this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 When you start the installer, you will be offered a choice of which simulator to install into. FSX is the one you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Go to this page, download the FSX Registry Utility and use it to set the correct registry entry for your installation. Then you will see FSX in the installer menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Open the utility and navigate to the FSX location. Use the SetPath function to add the location to your Windows Registry. It's not working now and you can't break anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
