Downloaded aircraft don't transfer right

**pearson sim** · 07-20-2012, 05:19 PM

Hi

Recently I have started downloading freeware aircraft and have run into a bit of a problem.
I run a sim lab with about 14 computers, and I figured I would download aircraft onto 1 computer, test them out and then transfer them onto my flash drive from there I could then transfer the aircraft to all 14 computers without reducing the internet connection to 0.5 Mbps. The problem: some aircraft lose all textures when I transfer them. My question:
1 Is this some sort of copyright protection or just a glitch.
2 Is there any way to fix this problem if it is a glitch.
Thanks

Are you ransfering the complete folders? Do not open them, just transfer the complete folders with all of the subfolders included.

What FS version?

Are all 14 stations set up the same for FS?

Make sure you are using the original download to put on your flash drive and not the plane after you test it.

No I did not retransfer the complete folder. I will try doing that next time. What confuses me is that the textures and paint schemes where included in the file I transferred, what was missing?

All the computers should be running the same version of FSX, since we bought all programs at the same time. Where does it say what version FSX is? I have looked before but have not been able to find it.

Thanks for the help.

OK knowing FSX is fine.

A lot could be missing because we are not sure exactly what you put on the flash drive.

Treat each station like a new install, which means put the whole downloaded folder on the flash drive and install it the same way on each station.
