ALS-Sim Flanker Problem

Sundog

SOH-CM-2025
I think this problem has been posted here before, but I'm unable to find it and the solution.

When I select the Flanker to fly, it looks fine in the selection window. Then once I've selected it and end up back in the window where you select everything else for your flight it turns invisible (the external model) and stays that way as I launch the sim. It also creates all kinds of problems like it isn't operating correctly. I did check to make sure my license is in the correct location and that I have the correct .dll's in the FSX root folder and that's fine.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Thanks.
 
Sundog, it's part of the anti-piracy security built into the model. I would uninstall and reinstall it and see if that clears things up. If not, I'd contact Mark at ALS-Sim directly and see if he can help sort it out.
 
If you´re using windows 8 forget it. It doesn´t work at all. The same problem with all eaglesoft and leveld planes. The DRM (not the plane) does not like win8. And by drm authors, it´s win8 fault.
 
I'm win7, so it should work.

Thanks Storm, I'll try a re-install.

Sundog, I am on win7x64 and no issues with the Flanker. When you go through the re-install process, make sure the original and it's components are completely uninstalled. Also of note(an option), when I got my new computer, I went ahead and got a new key from the Flight1 system and reactivated the order number just to be on the safe side.

So if the DRM is because of the anal way things are handled inside "Program Files (x86)" on Win8 would installing FSX in the root (C:/FSX/) solve the issue?

Just for everyone's reference, I'm quite sure of what caused it on my end, as all of my F1 wrapper aircraft have problems. My original boot up HD was dying so I cloned it to a new SSD. I'll just have to uninstall them and re-install them as Storm noted.
