Software installation

Post by HondoFlyer » 01 May 2018, 17:56

Hi,
I have read the manual and watch the videos in how to install the software. Although very clear I found a conflict of where to install it. The video recommends to put it in the root directory (C:/) but the manual suggest in the default 'Program Files'. I use Windows 7 Ultimate with UAC 'on'. Some clarification is very much welcome. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your response. I was a little impatient and originally installed the software in C: and it seemed to work ok. After reading your post, I un-installed it using the 'unins000.exe'. I downloaded the latest version (v.0.9.6.25) and proceeded to install it with no hassle. But there is a problem now: As I start the application and the first screen shows for just a few seconds all of the menus, but 'panels' and 'controls', then disappear. Without them I'm not able to programme my X52 and Combat Pedals which are connected. This was not the situation with the original installation. HELP, what I'm I doing wrong?

PLease check that "General Joystick" is enabled in Settings->Devices.
The X52 and the rudder are handled as Joysticks.

All sorted.
Now, let me get my hands into configuring all of my devices; everything but FIPs.
Thank you for your work.
