    This is an all new update for 2023 of the KSAT San Antonio International Airport, Texas, for FSX.Included are an all new updated 'AFCAD', custom built terminal, control tower, hangars, FBO's, and buildings, some with transparent windows and open doors for night lighting. Approaches and FAA plates included. By Dan French.
  2. One extra step: after all this you have to reinstall FSUIPC4. It won't work unless FSX has been run once before installation.
  3. At the risk of redundancy, but sure someone will recheck this thread in the future, I just reinstalled FSX Gold with Acceleration fine with the following step by step method previously noted. Feel free to share. FSX REINSTALLATION of Gold Edition/ Acceleration discs out of the box with Product Keys. 1. CLEAN UNINSTALL FSX. a. UNINSTALL Acceleration from the Apps/uninstall on computer b. UNINSTALL FSX from computer apps or from the disc 1. c. CLOSE/REOPEN Program Uninstall and make sure all FSX components are gone. d. Go to C:\Program Files (86x)\Microsoft Games\ Microsoft Flight Simulator and delete this folder or whatever drive you had it on. e. Go to C:\Users\YOUR NAME and delete any fsx material BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REINSTALL FSX: 2. Reset the license key (Cause of Error 1603) a. Make sure MSKB928080 is installed to drive root folder. You can download it from the web. b. Run the following as administrator b. Open cmd prompt from start menu and "run as administrator" c. Type cd C:\ then hit enter d. Type cd MicrosoftKB928080 and hit enter e. Type resetsldl -All and hit enter.NOTE: there is a space between ldl and - Should get message that success in token store reset. 3. Reset Windows Installer (Cause of Error 1722) a. Click Start, Click Run and type “Services.msc” (without quotes) and press Enter. b. Double-click Windows Installer. c. Set the Startup type of Windows Installer to Manual. d. Click Start to start the service. Note down the error message if any. Click OK. ((Method 2 [I never had to use this]: Reregister the Windows Installer. Follow these steps for the same. a. Quit all Windows programs. b. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and click Run. Type “msiexec /unregister” (without quotes) in the Open box, and then click OK. c. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and click Run. Type “msiexec /regserver” (without quotes) in the Open box, and then click OK. Restart your computer. )) 3. Install FSX to D:\FSX (a NEW folder completely) where D=whatever drive you will use. Create the new folder. DON"T install to Program x86 folder. Place CD in drive and open\run the setup as Administrator After Disc 2 complete, start FSX. I initiated the default flight to make sure it worked. 4. Close FSX and REBOOTcomputer 5. Go to FSX folder you just installed, right click Properties/ security and allow all permissions. I included the "Users" category. 6. REBOOT computer 7. Open as Administrator 8. In START \RUN\Services.msc\Windows Installer Start it again if not running (as above) 9. Install FSX Acceleration. It already contains SP1 and SP2 so don't have to download/ install those 10. ERROR CODE 1-80004005 comes up on starting FSX. Yes to online query, it starts up, but only gives you the trial version. To Fix, you have to change the registry. Registry Disclaimer: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Find Upperfilters listed under it, and check its value, if its 0 change it to PartMgr and click OK. Mine said partmgr (lower case) so I switched it to PartMgr d. Restart FSX.

    Published first in 2015 with over 11,000 downloads, I think it time to update since so many changes have occurred around Keflavik and Reykjavik. This scenery offers extensive revisions to Keflavik airport with a new terminal with transparent windows and interior, new passenger and cargo aprons, control tower, and more. A totally new scenery of Vestmannaeyjar island and airport with harbor, volcanoes, ferries, and two working lighthouses is included. Fagradasfjall volcano is now active and spewing fire and lava north of Keflavik. Some free downloadable libraries required. This scenery REPLACES the old version. by Dan French
  6. Just uploaded this again to "another" site as these questions still seem very frequent. Please let me know if this is NOT useful so I will quit trying to help with it!

  7. Reinstalling FSX boxed edition in Windows 10 is difficult, laborious, but possible. I published a document on it that formerly was in the "sticky" section of the forums, but it may have disappeared with the new website. Let me know if you would like it republished here. (Don't want to add a bunch of stuff people found less than useful). Dan
  8. Thanks so much for all the comments. Very informative. Especially NFM. Thanks for that insight. Dan
  9. Seems a dearth of questions. Am I missing something? Or in the wrong place? Or just getting old?
  10. And you can "build your own", using Airport Design Editor (free), Skyvector (free- open your internet and browser, search for Skyvector, and open the airport, downloading the airport diagram and all the navs and comms data), and Wikipedia (free). Lots of fun! Dan

    A small untowered GA airport in Upper Peninsula, Michigan USA. Served by Delta Connection flights to Detroit and Minneapolis. Scenery features custom built terminal, hangars, FBO, and other buildings, some with transparent windows and open doors for night lighting. By Dan French.
  12. If all else fails, I would try the FAIB model with a good A320 panel and make adjustments to the aircraft.cfg flight dynamics using a known quantity (a good A320 .cfg) and Bob Chicolo's tutorial on tweaking flight dynamics (bobsflightdynamicsrevised.zip) . Time consuming? Very. Tedious? You bet. Interesting and informative? Absolutely. I'm trying this on the UKMIL C-17 trying to update it to real world specs. I guess bottom line here is how bad do you want to save money? For me I love learning more about FSX (since I don't have reliable internet for the more advanced MS stuff).
