wedge 5 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't know the procedure as I did not tested PFPX or puchased it yet (still at work), but first thing is that you should download the latest version 2.72 as it is the first version that has that PFPX support builtin. After that I don't know much. Either there are some options somewhere or it's called at some poitn in the flight planning, or maybe auto detected.

FlightSimSoft.com 283 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 You Need TOPCAT (Full Version) installed on the same device as PFPX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlightSimSoft.com 283 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 and on the same hard drive? Is it a manip to link both programs? Thx. That doesn't matter. PFPX Looks up the TOPCAT Installation path in the registry and then launches the program. No Need to setup any 'link' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgreen91 0 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have topcat (2.72) installed on the same computer as PFPX but PFPX still says I do not have Topcat installed. Is there something I'm missing? Everything is installed in the default location. I've tried rebooting etc. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1246 353 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 not sure, but is Topcat Version 2.72 installed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgreen91 0 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yes I just uninstalled then reinstalled 2.72. I even downloaded a brand new installer from the flightsimsoft website to install. I purchased topcat back in 2008 or something like that so its been awhile. I checked and topcat is listed the registry under: TOPCAT - Christian Grill Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overload 1 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've got TopCat V 2.70 installed, but when I click update, it says I'm up to date. I need version 2.72 for the PFPX link to work. Do I just install 2.72 over the top of 2.70 or uninstall 2.70. then install 2.72, Is my original licence key valid? Seems odd the update button doesn't do the trick?

PatrickM 49 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 If you changed something in the Database of TOPCAT than you should to an Backup! Otherwise you can install it other the old one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Barsovsky 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Works for me on my main FSX rig with Win7 but doesnt work on my laptop with Win8. Hope it helps. I will try to reinstall both programs on different drive. I´ve reinstalled TOPCAT on Win8 from C:\Program Files...etc to D:\TOPCAT validated installation with activation key, did a first run but no change in PFPX. PFPX is installed in c:\Aerosoft\PFPX Admin rights included :-) As I mentioned earlier no problem on my Windows 7 computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
