gmfm Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi. I have just recently "installed" the HDVC for the Carenado C182RG. I believe I made a mistake by double clicking on the zip file, rather than unzipping version first and then installing. I am using FSX/SP1 and XP/SP3 with all working fine. After the installation of the above and then starting FSX a message appears warning of two files having the same name (ref. to Carenado HD). Obviously something did not go as planed. Could someone instruct me in how to remove the possibly offending files so that I could reinstall; or perhaps confirming that if I were to just double click on the now unzipped file, it will correct itself. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 1. Navigate to \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado C Skylane 182 RG II 2. Open the Aircraft.cfg file (you can use Notepad) 3 Scroll down in that file until you see something like this: [fltsim.4] title=C Skylane II RG R182 VH-JDW HD sim=Carcessna182RG model=2 panel=3 sound= texture=VH-JDW kb_checklists=Carenado C 182 Skylane RG Check kb_reference=Carenado C 182 RG_ref atc_id=VH-JDW ui_manufacturer="Carenado" ui_type="C Skylane II RG R182" ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop" ui_createdby="Carenado" ui_variation=VH-JDW HD description="The Super-HD version of the C182RGII in VH-JDW livery, based on photos of the actual aircraft based at Jandakot, Perth Australia." atc_heavy=0 atc_airline= atc_flight_number= atc_id_color=0000000000 visual_damage=1 ui_thumbnailfile=thumbnail_VH-JDW.jpg 4. Remove that entry and any other entry which refers to the JDW repaint 5. Now re-run the installer You should be all set. If that does not fix it there's something more sinister happening.

gmfm Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thank you very much.. It did work!. Well spoted!! For some reason (which I suspect it was me not unzipping), it installed [fltsim.4] and [fltsim.5] hence the error. Found the .cfg file, open in 'wordpad', deleted the two addition, unzipped the download and clicked in the installation icon. Very simple and straight forward (once one know!). The results are superb. I shall be downloading the Mooney tonight. Carenado planes are already great, but the repaint makes them even better. Well done FTX. Thank you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmatthys Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dear, is it possible to show me which entries that have to be removed. I am brand new with FSX and not so familiar with all of this. Thank you for your reply and forgive for this somehow stupid question. Greetings, Hans Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
