INSTALLATION PROBLEM

Post by pmesmer » Thu Nov 09, 2017 3:26 pm

Hi folks. I downloaded the program and it was normal. I installed the airplane on my simulator and my computer said the installation was successful. When I opened my flight simulator, the airplane was not there. I have made several attempts without success. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. Sim platform is STEAM, latest version. I have read all the operating tips. Has anyone else had this problem?? Pete Mesmer

It should show up under the "North American" manufacturer. You checked there?

Last night I downloaded the program again from FS PILOT SHOP. Again the download was normal. I installed the airplane again in to my flight simulator and my computer again said the installation was successful. When I opened the simulator, again, the airplane was not there.

MILVIZ is not in the selection column.

Please post a screenshot of your FSX directory\SimObjects\Airplanes\Milviz F-100D folder.

Hi Jonathan____ My computer says the fsx directory\sim objects\airplanes\milviz f-100d folder does not exist. ???? :( I find it strange that the user manual is in my computer but the airplane is not in my simulator. :roll:

Did you run the installer as admin? As in right click on it, select properties->compatibility->run this program as administrator?

I received my backup disk in the mail today. I tried installing the program again installing as administrator. It's not likely that all the install programs and the backup disk are faulty. Anyway___ it didn't help. The same problem exists. No airplane in the simulator. It's a little frustrating having spent all that money and not having the airplane to fly. :evil:

Whenever I order a program from FSPILOTSHOP, they make available 20 downloads and they send a backup disk in the mail which takes about 2 weeks to receive. that's the disk I'm talking about. :)

you do realize that we do not support these discs... right?

You have to use the updater software that's in the MVAMS to get the latest version(s).
