active FS-X Not Showing in Central Pull-Down menu

[Captain_Yodie]

Hi, I've a comprehensive collection of Orbx FS-X Software (Globals, Regions etc). They've been running on a PC for some years, added to as new products have emerged.

 

Recently I bought a new high-end Dell PC. Using an external SSD with USB-C interface, I've installed Microsoft Flight Simulator, and FS-X Steam Edition.

 

After installing Orbx Central, MFS appeared in the pulldown menu, and I successfully installed the London & Sydney upgrade packs.

 

But FS-X does not appear in this pulldown menu, and so I'm unable to install all my FS-X products on the new PC. I have done an initial run of FS-X as suggested in the documentation.

 

Please, any suggestions?

Hi

 

Please use the FSX Registry Utility found at this link   https://www.tweakfs.com/store/free_tools.php  and use the "Set Path" option and point it to your FSX installation.

Doug, Thanks for this tip. However, I installed the utility, ran it, pointed to the FSX root folder on my external SSD drive, ran the job, and got a message back saying the link already existed in the Registry.

Hi

 

Maybe try a uninstall and reinstall of Orbx Central.
