HPR7 mad Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi, Hope someone can help with an odd problem with this zip file, "hermes_v20x" I am trying to install Jens B Kristensen's "HP81 Hermes" into FSX, but although it seems to install ok in the usual fsx/simobjects/airplanes folder, it aint there:( !!! I am using FSX SP2, on W10 64bit, and have never had this happen before, the installer finds FSX and allegedly installs it, and If I try and re-install, it gives me 3 options to modify, repair or remove the installation, so I do and try again, but to no avail:confused: I have tried to install it to folders in various locations on the PC, but still no luck, so unless there is a compatibility issue, I am stumped Confused of Devon:confused: i7-4770K 4.60 GHz (Hyperthreading off) Liquid Cooling 16GB G-Skill DDR3 GeForce GTX1050Ti 4GB 500GB WD Blue 3D SSD SATA III x4 Creative Sound Z Sound Card 5.1Ch 24BitAvermedia video capture card CH Yoke and Rudder NZXT Fan Controller Windows10 64 Prof FS9 - FSX -FSX-SE Track Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I have tried to install it to folders in various locations on the PC... The installer doesn't auto-detect your FSX installation location. You need to manuallly guide it to \Simobjects\Airplanes. After doing that, no problems.

mrzippy Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If you are sure you did the install correctly, make sure you have everything I show in the red circles. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPR7 mad Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi Wim/Mr Zippy You are dead right, I didn't realise the installer was pointing to a Microsoft Games folder in "programme files (x86)", so I changed it to where the FSX folder is on my PC, and wallah, as Mr Zippy pointed out, it is now in my FSX airplanes folder for all to see, so thanks to you both, I appreciate you help:) I guess it goes to show it is worth looking and checking where the installer is pointing instead of just assuming it is the right place:o, even after 12 years with these sims, they can still catch you out!!
