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

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.

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.

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.

I see, but when install AX, where would the textures and scenery be? 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

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:

Please post the exact error message regarding the twotter

Aircraft Initialization Failure

DHC-6 300 Skiwheel polar

I have the files in my simobjects/airplanes but its only an aircraft.cfg and panel in there and no plane in my library to choose from.

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

Yay!! ok, so, i uninstall AX? Or just the?? Im sorry im confused but in the link you put i found the twin otter x. Is that what i download? And thank you so much

Uninstall your current AX and download the complete installer from the link above: select antarctica x from the dropdownlist, click on the button "Show support...", click on the 3rd item and enter the serial key you originally got for AX
