resolved Aerofly FS2 - Aerosoft Download version and FTX Central

[LH_bus]

I have on this computer only the download Version of AFS2 . I just downloaded the FTX Central. Then I placed the file mentioned for the Aerosoft DVD Version into the file mentioned. Still FTX Central will not recognize any Simulator.

If you have either edition, you will need to run it at least once

before you start FTX Central.

I flew to Monterrey and I had my first lesson yesterday. Today I downloaded FTX Central and before I placed the file into the folder Benutzer/myname/Application Data/Local/Orbx/Simulators on the C drive, where the Simulator is ( Programme/Aerofly ....)

I reinstalled AFS2. I flew with it. Then I tried FTX Central once more. It does not find this simulator. Could it be because with a German computer I do not have AppData but Application Data etc???

Hello,

 

What does it say in your registry editor at 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\IPACS\\?

 

This is what FTX Central is looking for.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\IPACS\\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator\\Settings\\Path

the "Path" entry must be the same as the actual location of the Aerofly FS 2 root folder.

D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator

It says HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\IPACS\\D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator?

[LH_bus]

Hello Nick, I have attached what the regedit says.

[Nick Cooper]

Thanks,

is D:\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator the correct location for where you installed it

and where it is now?

Within the root folder, is there \bin64\aerofly_fs_2.exe

[LH_bus]

Hello Nick, here is the .exe Location.

Could the Problem be that I had to create this folder manually (Local/Orbx/Simulators for  Benutzer/myname/Application Data/Local/Orbx/Simulators). As far as I remember on my FSX PC the AppData/Local/Microsoft/FSX was created by a program,

[Nick Cooper]

Hello,

FTX Central should have installed to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Orbx\

so I don't recognise the path that you mention.

It looks like your registry entry matches your installation of Aerofly.

Please humour me and place the attached file into 

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Orbx\Simulators, 

let it over write if it asks.

Thanks.

afs2dvd.c3json

Thank you Nick,

the problem was that under c:\users\your name I only found the folder Application Data. The hidden folder was : AppData with all the other folders needed. When I placed the file afs2dvd into the no longer hidden folder AppData .... everything was ok
