deatheater914 6 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi, i recently purchased AEROSOFT - MEGA AIRPORT LONDON HEATHROW XTENDED FSX P3D FSX:SE FS2004 and after I installed it nothing appeared in FSXSE. I looked for the file in my program files and i found it, but when i look for it in FSX i find the default airport. I don't know why this has happened to me even though I have installed Aerosoft Frankfurt without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi, due to the different installation methods of FSX:Steam there is a possibility that the airport has not been added to your scenery library. You can do that manually, just like with any freeware scenery. The files are located in your FSX main folder/Aerosoft. Please add the TERRAIN folder first and the "normal" airport folder second, so that the airports folder is above the terrains folder in your scenery library.

Kaashaas 9 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 You're kidding, right!? With all due respect, but isn't that just an installer issue and thus the responsibity of developers and not that of paying customers...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 18, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 18, 2017 You are right, this is of course an installer issue. But do you want to wait for an update for an uncertain period of time while not being able to use the purchase you just did? - or - use an easy workaround to overcome this issue and be immediately able to use the purchase you just did?

Kaashaas 9 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 What I would want is a working installer in the first place Tom. Not that difficult to patch on short notice really. ;-) Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data63 421 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 if you have an FSX-SE only installation (never installed FSX) try install as FSX (not SE). Dovetail made some strange decisions concerning the location and naming of cfg-files in FSX-SE only and "side by side" installations that just cannot be completely handled by most installers (not only AS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Data63 said, Dovetails did some whacky stuff that causes issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaashaas 9 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Dovetail did soms whacky stuff, but the amount op possible options would still be limited to a few combinations. I'm not a tech-guy obviously, but why is it so hard to detect the set-up of a system and ammend the installer accordingly? (Not being a smart ass by the way, I'm genuinly curious) Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 26, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted February 26, 2017 Because they used the same path and some shared reg entries. It's highly frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data63 421 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 to worsen that some (many?) FSX-SE users in the early days of SE did some registry hacks to install their addons into SE (being guilty of that myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deatheater914 6 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 I manually installed the scenery and it worked, but I didn't find a way to disable the normal scenery and that's causing problems with my AI aircraft. If anyone knows a way to disable the manual scenery that would be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data63 421 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 you do not have to disable the normal/default scenery - it should not give you problems as long as the addon is placed above the default layers in the scenery lib. Did you also add the "Heathrow terrain" folder to your scenery lib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

data63 421 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 do you use a mesh Addon like FSGlobal or ORBX Vector - it looks as if there is an elevation correction file at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted May 13, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 13, 2017 Or maybe ORBX EU ENG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
