Ross Carlson Posted April 6, 2017 at 08:52 PM Posted April 6, 2017 at 08:52 PM Hrm ... this is where vPilot expects to find it: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 It looks for that path under both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_LOCAL_USER Within that path, it looks for any of the following keys: "AppPath", "SetupPath", "install_path" Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted April 19, 2017 at 02:51 PM Posted April 19, 2017 at 02:51 PM Brian, did you manually move the FSX folder after installation? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Collins Posted April 19, 2017 at 03:18 PM Posted April 19, 2017 at 03:18 PM I uninstalled the box version last year and have used vpilot alot since then with no problem. I've not moved my steam version anywhere. I have only updated vpilot when there has been an update. Between now and the last time I flew using vpilot I haven't changed anything :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 19, 2017 at 04:34 PM Posted April 19, 2017 at 04:34 PM You're saying you were using vPilot with the steam edition before and all of a sudden it's not finding it any more?

Ross Carlson Posted April 19, 2017 at 10:44 PM Posted April 19, 2017 at 10:44 PM When it worked before, was that with vPilot version 2 or version 1? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Collins Posted April 25, 2017 at 01:59 PM Posted April 25, 2017 at 01:59 PM It worked with version 2 but it popped up with an update when I tried to use it so updated it and when it loaded up it said search which sim you would like to use with vpilot and it only gave me the option to use one of the 2 p3d to highlight :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Blackburn Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:22 PM Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:22 PM So, did you use the second tool I linked to? If so did you run it as admin? Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Collins Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:34 PM Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:34 PM Yeah as you can see in the pic I used that too. I run everything as admin :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:39 PM Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:39 PM The pic only shows vPilot that I can see. When you ran the FSXReg Utility click on the Set Path tab. Browse to the FSX root folder. The click set fsx path. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Blackburn Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:57 PM Posted April 30, 2017 at 07:57 PM OK, lets click on the set path tab. Browse to where your fsx is. Click on "Set Registry Path" Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted May 1, 2017 at 01:08 AM Posted May 1, 2017 at 01:08 AM Using a registry fixer isn't going to work unless it is designed to work with the Steam Edition. The registry entry is only one piece of the puzzle. vPilot also needs to be able to find the FSX configuration file, since that file stores all the paths to where your aircraft models are installed. The registry fixer is setting your registry entry such that it looks like you're using the original FSX, so vPilot is looking for a file called FSX.cfg, but in fact you're using the Steam Edition, so your actual config file is probably called fsx_se.cfg. That's why it doesn't show FSX SE as an option in your simulator list. I would try reinstalling FSX SE.
