active Orbx Central download problems.

[wenners]

I have purchased True Earth GB South , but cannot download it either automatically , or manually as Orbx Central isn't recognising my FlightSim drive.The box says ,'couldn't detect any simulators on this computer.'I then click 'Fix Issues'....'this will update your computer to assign directory'.  So I manually select my flightsim drive . click 'save'...……….and nothing happens. Just goes back to 're-scan your computer' ! I have tried to download from Orbx direct, but when I click auto install, I just get a spinning circle. 

Hope you can help.

Hello,

welcome to the forums.

 

In order to see P3D, Orbx Central needs a Windows registry entry and a folder at the location in that

registry entry that contains Prepar3D.exe.

 

In order to see X Plane 11, it needs an entry in C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\x-plane_install_11.txt

that points to a folder that contains X-Plane.exe and that folder must exist.

Hi Nick,

There is no App Data folder in C:\Users\my name !

Hello,

no doubt it is still hidden.

Please note that the AppData folder is hidden by default in the Windows File Explorer.

If you cannot see it, please go to your Windows File Explorer view options and check

"Show hidden files, folders and drives".
