Golden Oldies. Another one that works great in FSX!!!

All I can say is that either you guys had something already resident in your files from previous portovers that allowed this to work right off the bat, or there's some little something you've forgotten about that you did to make it all come together. After three separate installation attempts, this is what I have. . . .an aircraft with no gauges on the pilot side, nothing clickable, no sounds.
 
I actually did it on fresh FSX install, so there cannot be any additional files on my system. Could it be .lic file issue? Check C: drive there should be a folder called Flight One Software and inside it should be .lic file.

I wouldn't be able to install without the license. I think this one's history. I have too many other airplanes to fly without trying to figure out the magic key to this. Glad it works for you guys, but it's outta here for me.
 
As I recall, the .lic file has to be in a specific place for the guages to show, but unfortunately I don't remember where that location is. I'm tempted to try this in FSX (I normally hate portovers). This was one of my first payware purchases and is still one of my all-time favorite add-ons.
 
(In case you didn't know: Brett Henderson and Alejandro Rojas also did a FSX SP2 native one. :kilroy:)
Bjoern,
Doesn't look like I'm going to get the Dreamfleet 310 to work on my system, so where can this one be found? I did a search last night on Flightsim.com and Avsim and it didn't show on either site.

Ed, If you go to the Flight1 website you can request the Proof of Purchases & passwords. All you need is to have access to the email address you bought it with.

I am redownloading this now. I also had problems with it as a port & thought I would try it again.

Hi Boomer, that quote was meant to let the previous post know that had I not had the lic the installer would not have worked (which it did). I have all the required files (Proof of Purchase, License, key file, etc), they're all in the same folder, never moved. I downloaded the most recent installer from Flight1 and the result is that despite what everyone is boasting. . .it does not work. There is something they are doing, or have done that is not in the directions they're passing along, lol. . . .one little itsy bitsy click of the mouse that they forgot, lol.
 
Believe me, I did nothing extra, just installed the thing to dummy dir and then copied the files to FSX.
Ok, then what OS are you using? I'm using Windows7 and something that just hit me as I was going through every folder that has anything to do with this airplane is that the Lic file icon doesn't look like I remember it. The icon is blank and I'm wondering if windows7 has changed the appearance of that file in a way that even though it's where it's supposed to be, the Cessna 310 doesn't see it and so shuts down all the areas I have a problem with?

A long shot I know, but it has become increasingly irritating that everyone seems to be just peachy with this airplane and I can't get it to work, no matter what I do.
 
Well I got everything to work except the gauges so I replaced them and all is fine now
Yep, well. . .I'm real happy for ya reddog, lol. I'm putting this on the side burner for a while until I get someone who can shed some light on my problem. In the meantime, I'm going with the 310 that I downloaded with expat's link back up a few posts. Not as detailed as the DF version, but with some mods, I'm getting it closer.
 
I'm still running my trusty old XP. And the installer file is the one from the original release, because it ask fs2002 path when installing. So it's not the one updated for FS2004.
Well, that's the one I'm using as well and I downloaded it yesterday from Flight1, so I assumed it was the most recent. I wonder, if it's not available from Flight1, where would you download a newer version? Maybe that's how some folks got it to install to FSX, cause if you use the one that defaults to FS2002, it "will not" allow you to go to FSX. Curious!!
 
Tried that other one and not having SP2 installed it was a ghost airplane in the outside view.
Ah, too bad, it's not a bad job really, just not as much detail. I aliased the Dreamfleet 310 sounds to it, redid the bitmap for the VC panel and I may try (these are dds textures and I didn't do dds textures (until now)) to do some interior color changes also. The other surprising thing is that the exterior textures are supposed to be 2048x2048, but in areas where there's striping, it's very pixelated which I wouldn't think would be the case. Anyway, until I get an answer on the Dreamfleet 310, I'm going with this one.

Ok, I know why it's pixelated (or at least this is what it looks like). I think the textures were done at 1024x1024 and enlarged to 2048x2048. Not sure why it would be that way, but that's exactly what it looks like. Even if I do them same size it should look much better.
 
falcon,

Not sure why you're having so much trouble but I can sympathize with your frustration. Been there before on other planes guys have ported over but I could not get to work on my rig.

I think the problem may lie with you using Windows 7 and the registration file not transporting over intact when you upgraded your OS. It may very well have to do with something in the system registry preventing you from getting it to work even though you have all the files.

FWIW, I'm still running XP on my machine.

I have the "other" C310 from Rojas and it's OK but IMO the DF 310 is much better.

I hope you're able to sort things out.

-G-
