marcusjm 43 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It complains about that SharedConfig again and as you know. The Steam Edition already is 1.31. So please fix. The Plane does not work properly without this it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusjm 43 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Btw, even the FlightPlanner and FuelPlanner is not working so something is seriously wrong with the Steam installer. This needs to be reworked from ground up I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 2, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted January 2, 2018 Marcus, the fact is that it does work for thousands of people so the installer simply can't be faulty. There has to be a local issue on your system that causes this to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well. Just about every other addon seems to work. Including the Embraers I bought (config tools etc working just fine). Also the Boeing from JustFlight. Here it is a case of your tools not finding the config files. They just doesn't exist at all. It's a standard Windows10/64bit system fully updated and all. I have made a support ticket of course but if it is like you say, maybe Aerosofts products simply wont work on my machine? Pity since I was considering your FlightSim as well ;). The plane itself loads but it is slow as hell (no other addon has any issues with this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Btw. does your app create any kind of errorlogs somewhere? I guess there more to this than "cannot find sharedconfig". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Seems I wasn't the only one with this issue after all. The problem is that your standard reply "apply hotfix" Does not apply to the Steam version. Maybe you need to re-address this issue specifically for the Steam version?

That wasn't a "standed reply". It was a valid reply to a problem with version 1.30e. The mentioned hotfix in the topic you quoted (1.30f) fixed that problem. Of course the hotfix does not apply to the steam version, as that's based on version 1.31, and not 1.30e. Back then the steam version didn't even existed. Please read topics a little bit more carefully before making such "standard reply" claims. Now about your problem: please uninstall the Airbus again and make sure all leftovers are gone. I will link a topic that shows where you will have to look for such leftovers. Afterwards make sure to restart your steam app as administrator and install the Airbus from there again. If you get an installer download from steam (I don't know because I never installed the steam version) run that installer as administrator.

And as you might have seen that was because the user made a mistake and when he corrected that the issue was solved. Again Marcus, tens of thousands have been sold so when there was an issue with the product all these tens of thousands of people would have complained. As they did not and as we can't recreate the issue we simply assume the files are correct. I think you will have to agree that is the only logical reasoning. We have no idea what to fix because we can't see a fault. Something specific on your machine causes it to malfunction. I am very sorry for that, but please respect the support people give you.

It's obvious that your app has some read/write issues to the documents folder but what I cannot see. It does create the default files obviously. I just know that I never had any problems writing apps with that issue ;). Visual Studio solves all such problems ;). As for Steam. It is already Admin as far as I know but I can try it again if you like. It's not like it fails to install, it just fails to run properly. All those thousands, were they for the Steam version? Obviously my problem wasn't new since it is the exact same as the thread where you talked about that patch. Is there a standalone installer for this somewhere I can download?

marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Do you have a debug version of that config tool that produces log files? Maybe that could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Here you can see the exact issue. The same that lead me to those threads we talk about. The Embraer Config tool as seen is the screen is of course working perfect, as is the addon. My system works just fine. It is the Airbus that fails. Also no problem with the addon and config from JustFlight, Orbx etc. Well. I have come to the hard conclusion that buying Aerosoft Products from Steam wasn't the best idea but sometimes one has to learn the hard way. Please login to display this image.

Which is strange because thousands never had that issue as you stated ; No it wasn't the exact same problem. And it was also not the same product. The steam version differs actually quite significantly from the standard version (different folder structure, less liveries, CFD,...). As you also stated that your Airbus is extremely low on FPS, this clearly is a hint on a corrupt installation. Do you have any anti virus tool installed which might have interfered with the setup by taking files into quarantine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Same error message at least. With a proper errror log I might have been more detailed ;). I have Malware Bytes but it was disabled as per your tips. Next time I will buy from Aerosoft directly then. I cant get this version to work at all. Thing is. All the other DLC works just fine. No complaints anywhere. My system is as clean as it can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted January 2, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2018 I am not saying differently, but something messed up the installation on your system. This can't be a general problem, as Mathijs already said that quite a lot of other customers successfully installed the Aerosoft Airbus DLC into their sim. The fact, that beside the ini file problem you also face very low FPS really points to an installation problem on your system. So the golden question is, what went wrong? To get it fixed afterwards. If we are not able to find the reason, I would suggest to get in touch with Steam for a complete refund and buy the standard version afterwards.

marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yes. I will do that. I don't think it is your addon but something with the Steam Installer. Like I said, with logs I could have given exact details but the default windows logs doesnt show anything so I cant say. Pity there isnt some debug info.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 2, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted January 2, 2018 We have logfiles for nearly everything. But this is not an issue of the application but of the installer. And we don't make the installers for use inside Steam of course. I have checked again in our support database, we got some issue that are similar (access to folders is always an issue for steam add-ins) but nothing that is the same and as far as I can see nothing that is still open. Something has prevented the installer putting the files where they are needed. If you contact us on support@aerosoft.com we'll replace your steam version with a non steam version (that will still install into FSX:STEAM) I think there is a 50% chance you will run in the same issue, but who knows.

marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I already have a support ticket for this ;). Check with Tom Sanchez. Trust me, I have installed/reinstalled this DLC 10 times with all softs of apps disabled. I can't see why this would have a hard time with config tools when the Embraers doesn't. Maybe it is better to simply buy this from Aerosoft in the future but now I am a bit scared to do that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted January 2, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 2, 2018 As Mathijs offered, get your DLC replaced by the standard version through the support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatelly I already followed up on your first advice and refunded. I will buy this from Aerosoft in the future instead and hope it works better. Although. It could be a risc if you have a no-refund policy on downloads. You have to understand that I would love to get this working, I just couldn't. Not sure the support way would have worked since Tom never got back to me. Maybe they are outsourced to some other time zone? 29 minutes ago, Tom A320 said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusjm 43 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yeah I figured as much. If anything I think Dovetail could take more responsibility too. They should find better ways of ensuring that DLC works. This is far from the only DLC with issues if you go by reviews. I mean from all manufactures. Far too big community to ignore.
