FS Elemental problems

**rjpart** · 09-10-2009, 05:53 AM

I have purchased the new FS Elemental Natural and Intense packages to upgrade FS9 textures. Two problems have arisen. First, I cannot access the FSelemental.com website from my home computer (but can do so on a work computer, so the problem may be a local one for me.) Also FS Elemental will not install. The installation setup looks for a C: drive installation of FS2004 only and does not offer to browse to a different location, so no installation can take place. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello,

The installation setup looks for a C: drive installation of FS2004 only and does not offer to browse to a different location, so no installation can take place.

What I will try :
Make a moke up installation of FS2004 on disk C
Just make exact folder names in the program files folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9
Is all you need.
Put in the folder Flight Simulator 9 the FS9.EXE (the executable)
Try again to install FSelemental.
If this install do not check for registries entries .. it will work.
After install .. you can copy past in your real FS9 installation the folders and files created.

Hope it's work.

Regards.

Thanks, simmers. The fix worked. Having installed Elemental Natural and Intense, I am not too impressed with them. The water textures are...well, intense. Flight Environment does it better.

I'm with you on that. To be honest I didn't really notice the difference at all after testing it for the first time. Had me wondering if I had done the install correctly.
Water textures never look that great on my system anyway as I cannot set the effects slider to ''high''. Without that setting even reflections appear to be impossible. However 'Elemental Natural' has a lot more than just water.
