LH_bus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 If you have either edition, you will need to run it at least once before you start FTX Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH_bus Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 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 ....)

LH_bus Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 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??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 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.

LH_bus Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hello Nick, I have attached what the regedit says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH_bus Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH_bus Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
