airattackimages Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I posted this in the sticky at the top of the forum page, but, I figured just in case that wouldn't get noticed there I'd start a thread. Desperately need help as I can't even run FSX at the moment due to this crash. I had installed Bowerman (simply gorgeous as always) and had the floating runway. So I saw to install PNW.004. As soon as I did that however, FSX now crashes immediately on startup. Doesn't even go anywhere. I'm now wondering if I need to uninstall the patch, but... have no clue how or if it can even be done. Help! I have the demo PNW... and I'm wondering if that was the problem. I had been told it would be fine to use Bowerman freeware with the demo, but, maybe not? Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi , The patch is not ment for the demo version so hence it will act up, best is to un install / delete the demo version and start a fresh and yes you can use the Bowerman freeware files with the demo, be aware that the demo has only the summer season and is limited so it's only a part of the total PNW.

airattackimages Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks Wolter, how do I uninstall the demo version? I can't seem to find an uninstaller, should I just delete the ORBX folder from my FSX main folder? Also, I did a system restore to yesterday. Now flight sim gets started and opens, but crashes a moment after it starts. Nevermind, I'm sorry... found the uninstaller in the pinned thread. Working on that now. So Wolter, does this mean if I have the floating runway I won't be able to apply a fix to it? Just curious. Does CEN4 work with the PNW demo?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 HI , if all is well then there shouldn't be a floating RWY at Bowerman with the demo version they where made specifically to fit together, so maybe you have another addon that could cause the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airattackimages Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't know... I don't have anything installed in the entire Pacific Northwest region other than the PNW demo. I have some sceneries in Southern California. I'm going to reinstall the demo and give it another shot. The version I'm reinstalling was downloaded last year, was there an updated version? Oh well, I'll just see what happens, and hope for no floating runway this time. Either way I thank you, FSX is running again so I'm happy for that!

airattackimages Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Ehh, I still have the floating runway. Oh well... One of these days I hope to have the extra money to buy PNW, then I can run the patch. And one more reply... I should have looked before I wrote it off. There is a v2 of the demo... and that is probably the whole problem, I'm still using v1. Trying that now. Sorry for the fiasco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 no worries, un install the demo v1 and install the demo v2, I'm sure the floating rwy will be a thing of the past, also as a check disable the other addon sceneries and re-activate them one by one and check if the issue re-occurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just to confirm, The patch is incorporated into the v2 installer. From memory Bowerman is included in the install also (EDIT: It is) So all you need to do is Install the Demo. To uninstall first, see Tim's guide here: http://www.orbxsyste...-a-quick-guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
