Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

No but I did try Run as Administrator. Got the same error message. The aam_10 read me mentioned an AirEd .ini file not to use, quote from aam_10 read me:
"It is based on the AirEd.ini file that comes with AirEd (by William Roth). For AAM its name is ‘AAM.ini’ and its content differs from the AirEd.ini file. So do not use the AirEd.ini file for AAM."
I have aired on my machine, possible conflict?
I think I inserted a pic of the error message.
AAMV22 read me had no mention of AirEd.

Ok, I found the following: EAccess Violations.
Essentially, you're looking at a memory use problem.
In this case, I suspect a driver issue, but I may be off by a mile. You might want to read through it, though, and see if you can find out what's going on.
AAM2 works fine on my system, and I have AirEd installed as well, so they don't conflict with one-another, unless you try to make AAM use AirEd.INI. It can't use it, and the .ini that comes with AAM2 is much better anyway. Tons more info on what's what in the .air file. I've been tempted to see if I can get AirEd to use the AAM INI file
Another possibility is a corruption in your AAM download. Try downloading it again. Delete the old entirely, and re-install, and the try it. And always run it as Admin! It matters...
And never install ANYTHING to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files(X86)!
Let us know how things work out. LD

The corrupted file angle was my first thought, I have already deleted the file I downloaded from the link to Simviation. I found another download site that offered both the aam_10 beta and the AAMV22 for download. I am working with that AAMV22 file now.
I do not think file corruption is my problem...but just in case I will try another site. That may keep me busy until the wife wakes and gets up so I can try installing it on her computer.
I will report results later today.

I won't swear to it, just at it, but if it's your machine that won't run AAM22, and your lovely wife's machine will, and the two are networked, you will be able to use it from her machine. Just make the shortcut point over to her machine.
Alternatively, again presuming her machine will run it, just copy the file you want to work on over to her machine, and work on it through the network, then copy it back for testing in the plane. You'll have to tell AAM22 what folder on her machine is the simulated FSX folder.
Still wishing you good fortune in this endeavour!

Try selecting an air file and open it with AAM. That’s how I always run it.

Morning All
Sorry for the late answer. I had real world work to do preparing for colder weather here.
I placed the AAM22 folder into my gmax install on wife's machine. It started right up! No problem. I do not have our machines on a network, so I will be trotting back and forth between the machines, unless She who must be obeyed O.K.s installing Sim.
Roy I tried your suggestion on my machine, I still get the error window.
My hard drive is a hoarders trove so there is no telling where or what the conflict is. I think the airfile entry for oil temperature is in section 543 or has my memory failed me?

That's 100% correct
At least in all the .air files I checked. Both jets and props.
Sounds like you're going to need some discs!
Good fortune to you!

The trotting did not work, I copied the air file into a folder, placed it on wife's hard drive.The selection window in the configure window will read to the folder but not inside it. The scanning aircraft directory window is displayed under the configure window and greyed out but displays Reading Please Wait Bitte Warten. I have let it run that way for about an hour.
I guess I will have to install FSX and see what happens next.
I must get ready for real world job now.
