• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I recently changed from XP to Windows seven.
I downloaded Carriers 2,Nimitz- Ike2,Tracks,F15.
I have the ADD-ONS window and selection of ships,position,speed(in free flight). But no aircraft on deck. With XP it was simple,you just placed files as per Instructions,in W7 i cannot find sim objects,Aircraft or boats. To download everything you have to use window stating "grant full admin control. It works for ships but not for aircraft.All I get is" Aircraft initialazation failed F15D."
Can any one help??:isadizzy:
 
W7 Has New File Structure

Try looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ for the FSX files. That is where FSX loads the files if you use the default install routine.
 
Do not install FSX into Program Files. It will probably cause many kind of problems with UAC.

Place it instead for exampe to "C:\FSX", or preferably a separate hard drive, or partition. It also helps defragmenting and browsing.
