Abernpro Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I have FSX running on Windows ten. So far no problem. I downloaded the Cessna Nav Trainer from the resources section. I followed the instructions to move it into FSX, yet it never shows up. The only thing I do different is I change the directory location from my "C" drive to my "B" drive, as my C drive is a solid state drive that contains only windows 10, all other programs I load onto my "B" drive. Anyone else have a similar issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You are aware that this is a "special" C-172 with a recreated 2D panel? Don't let the auto installer try to put it in your Sim! Create a folder and extract the aircraft and gauges folder to the newly created folder and then place the appropriate folder and gauges where they belong. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 And to answer your question, no it doesn't matter what drive the plane is on, as long as it's in the folder ...\FSX\Simobjects\Airplanes FSX permits scenery to be located anywhere, as long as you activate it correctly in the Scenery Library. Aircraft, Ships, Rotorcraft, and so on, must be located in the proper folders in ...\FSX\Simobjects or it won't "see" them. Gauges must be in either the plane's ...\Panel folder, or ...\FSX\Gauges. I bet money you know exactly where the effects have to be placed :D Hope all my ramblings help a little bit.

That is not true. You can place ships, UFO's, vehicles, tanks, gliders, motorhome, and helios in the ..SimObjects\Airplane folder and the sim will find them.

evm Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 ...in fact, you can place sim objects of any kind anywhere you like, just like scenery - as long as you add the folder where they are in to the FSX.CFG as an additional "SimObjectPaths.x" tag.

PhantomTweak Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Well, I'll be darned. Learn something new every day, if I'm not very careful! :) Thank you all for the info, I appreciate it!

Abernpro Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks for the replys. I'm obviously still doing something wrong. I opened the FSX cessna learner application folder from the Nav trainer download into a separate file. I opened that application where I found two files labelled "Gauges" and "SimObjects". I moved those into their respective folders in FSX and still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyorks Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Were they files named Gauges and SimObjects, or 'Folders'? If they are Folders, you open them and place the contents of those folders into their respective FSX Gauges and SimObjects folders. Sent from my tablet thingy!

Egsjr1956 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I just downloaded the nav trainer and installed it to FSX steam. No problem. In the past I installed this to the box edition. This is the default path that the installer chooses. You have to change the path to wherever you have FSX. Just FSX, don't direct it to other folders.

Open the folder called "Simobjects"...Now open the folder called "airplanes"....You now have the aircraft folder called "LEARNER" This is what you will place in your FSX/Simobjects/airplanes folder. Open the Gauges folder....Copy and Paste all of the gauges to either your FSX/Gauges folder or paste them directly into LEARNER/panel folder. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

AshleyW Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Try d/l to temporary folder and manually move it to sim. If 10 is like Vista - Go into settings and disable UAC controls.

JD-Slow-Thumbs Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This "Nav_Trainer" sounds interesting. Where do I find it? and is it any different / better than the 2D_IFR_panel that comes with the default Cessna_172 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Ohhhh, it's completely different panel than the default C-172. Made specifically for Navigation Training. What ever sort. Dead reckoning, ADF, VOR, whatever. Made just for THIS SITE, which is also where you can DL the plane. Some really great, and effective, Nav training for the MSFS, both FSX and FS9. Hope this helps!

JD-Slow-Thumbs Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 You are right. WOW! that looks like a great site (and panel), it will take me a while to digest all of it. Thanks JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
