rrich Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good because a fresh re install is my only option back to a useable sim Where do find all traces of the old files so I get a clean install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good because a fresh re install is my only option back to a useable sim I saw a post, either here or the Other site, where Jim Skorna stated the Microsoft servers that handle Microsoft Games should go on indefinitely. Fresh re-install sounds rather drastic. Repair won't accomplish it? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Can't get the pc to bring up fsx from disk one at this, system won't do a restore says activation code missing, can't manage controllers in fsx and get error code activation missing on start up. All started yesterday when I modified a addon plane file, tried to do return to original but then lost engine power controller function and os can no longer see controllers in hardware . That's what get for tweeking instead of flying, but just trying to make it more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's what I get for tweaking instead of flying, but just trying to make it more realistic Sounds like you have it working the most "realistic" right now. Did you do the full uninstall? Did you uninstall Acceleration ( If you have it) or Service Packs? Sounds like you have left -over tidbits. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

rrich Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Did a format on d: then went in and removed other fsx files in 4 different locations in c: So after install up and running (elementry ) but useable, will work through addons slowly Thanks Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
