il88pp Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Is it fsx steam edition? And what asks you to download. What things do you click on, and when do you get that message? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Never mind that. I just saw your post in the newcomers forum where you explained better. It's the popups about the gauges when you load a plane. I answered in that newcomers forum thread. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 FSX is not 'backward' compatible. If you download a FS2004 (ie: FS9) aircraft and it has 'old' (to FSX anyway-pre 2006) panel and gauges FSX 'balks'. It then asks if you 'trust' that gauge which (like il88pp said) is a file. I have a panel I use on piston, turboprop and jets that has an 'old' gauge (RKG_fuelstat.gau, 8/31/2006) and I have to say 'OK' to it every time I load it in a different aircraft. No biggee. I have had to the 'OK' 80 times. And 1 for FSUIPC and 1 for FSRecorder. FSX will then list the aircraft and the gauge (or *.dll) in FSX.cfg file under (Trusted) section. Here is how line looks like: 'D:\Flight Sim X\SimObjects\Aircraft FS9\Bull Stearman D75N1\ panel.hjaFI\ RKG_fuelstat.GAU.buznzcruwzbinezenhcukuqqbckencirbuiizklk=2 . You also may have to 'ok' files for FSUIPC and FSRecorder, as I said. So FSX goes by date and perhaps 'type' of file as *.dll files (library file) can be considered 'suspicious' (liable to contain a trojan, etc) but not if you TRUST the source such as FSUIPC and FSRecorder. Hope this clears that up.

Yeah the pop ups that I'm talking about is when I click the airplane to fly it pops up a box to click yes or accept I think it says Yes, or OK.. sorry cant remember..but I was suspicious cause the computer is a 2k computer money hog lol..I really hope the game works out cause I love flying sims..

napamule2 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You got a $2,000 PC and 'worried' about it getting infected. Make GOOGLE your friend. It's FREE. It will guide you to forum posts on ANY subject (not just FltSim). Be smart - READ UP on anything that you have doubts about. Then go watch YouTube video about it. They don't tell you everything. You have to 'dig it up' on your own.
