RockyMelendez 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hello everyone, just recently purchased Antarctica X from Simplanet. i downloaded and followed the instructions word for word yet it installs and says it installed successfully, but there is no twin otter aircraft, there are no airport codes, scenery or textures. the only thing that is included is the mission for the supply run. Ive redownloaded the files 5 times now always making sure i do it correctly and to no avail. Im really excited to fly and see Antarctica but i cant seem to get it working. Any help, suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you see, when you place an aircraft at one of Antarcticas Airports (screenshot)? Hello and thank you, its FSXSE and the latest from Antarctica is version 1.10, the latest. There is only one airport available and when i choose it, its just a gravel runway with no scenery, in other words its not the textures i bought from AX. The twin otter isnt even in my aircraft menu but the files are in my simobjects.airplanes etc. I have no airport codes, no scenery, textures, or plane just the mission but it cant detect the otter, says it failed to initiallize. But the whole installation says its successful. Im at my whits been for hours now re downloading etc. and yes i did it as an admin , i have FTX gloab installed also so thats wht i see, textures from FTX global but not the AX.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted May 23, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 23, 2015 Just checked it on my system and everything is OK here. So maybe for some reason Antarctica hasn't been added to your scenery library. Check if you have an entry in your scenery library. If not, add it manually.

Stathis Z. 6 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Ok i checked and its not in the library. how can i add it? thanks again You have to go to the scenery library in FSX, press add area. Then, you have to navigate to the folder of the scenery and press ok. Let me give you an example. I have FTX Vector. One area is H:\1FSX\ORBX\FTX_OLC\OLC_EU1 This folder contains two subfolders which are "Scenery" and "Textures". You have to add the root folder not those two separately. So if the scenery and textures folders are in root folder C:\blahblah\A, then you navigate to C:\blahblah and don't double click A, just select it and click ok and the library should be added. So you press ok on the folder that contains those 2 folders. Check the list afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an Aerosoft folder in my FSX but it only shows my LAX scenery and texture and Antarctica X folder but the texture and scenery folders in Antarctica are empty =/ Thanks for helping me, I really appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted May 23, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 23, 2015 Exactly, simply point to the folder ...FSX/Aerosoft/Antarctica, not to one of the subfolders! then click OK and in case you have Windows 7, richt click somewhere in th dialog box. In cas you still have trouble to understand here is a good video: http://iblueyonder.com/video-tutorial-adding-scenery-to-fsx-in-windows-7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted May 23, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 23, 2015 OK, I know the problem: the first installer had a bug, as it missed some parts of the Twotter, therefore the error. Uninstall your current version and download the latest one from here: http://support.aerosoft.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
