Valen, vPilot detects that you have MSFS installed by looking for certain registry entries. The registry entry is in a different location depending on where you bought the sim. Where did you buy it?

Are you comfortable with the Windows Registry Editor? If so, please check if you have any of these keys:

  • SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\FlightSimulator.exe
  • SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 1250410
  • SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\Apps\1250410

It looks for these keys under both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Within those keys, it looks for subkeys called InstallLocation, Path, or Name. If it finds any one of those in any of the above keys, then it knows that you have MSFS installed.
