• 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.

Hi Jon or anyone expertise:

Can you tell me how do I start with Windows 7? I have already turn UAC off.

I cannot start with .exe and it came up menu red box FSX with arrow down can't click or OK I click cancel. What I went wrong?

Please easy English step by step for me? I am hard of hearing.

A week ago, I am very frustrated my old Vista PC has been damaged motherboard blew off. When I changed new battery after ward it was dead. Stupid new battery may caused static. Anyway my old HD is fine. I can transfer files to my new HD.

Thanks,

Stuart
 
This means that the Registry entries for FS9 and/or FSX cannot be found. Have you re-installed the Simulator(s)?
 
You can try to fix it with the ADE9x Environment Checker. Select the "Set FSX Path" button and navigate to where you FSX installation is. Make sure that ADE9x Environment Checker is of version 1.4.2.
 
I am not using FSX. (Look my prefix FS2004). I am using FS2004 only. I have done installed FS2004 in my Windows 7. Do I have to click with filename "FS-Registry_Repair.exe" ? then I can ADE install after this? Will it work?

Thanks,

Stuart

Can you tell me what am I missing or what? Arrgh.

Jon,

I saw AVSim.com today library release.

Should I download and install my FS2004 to clear fix it up itself? It's include bgl.xml etc. for ADE working properly?

AVsim filename: fs9_sdk_tool_pack.zip

Should I processing this file?

Thanks,

Stuart
 
:D:D Thanks. Now it works. MSXML 4.0 installed. Alright, one small tiny problem where do I install for "ADE cannot find Font Arial Narrow bold on your computer'.

WHere do I get this from?

Thanks,

Stuart
 
Download it from the net. Search for:

download arial narrow bold

I did. It does not work everything kind kind of fonts.

Is this correct for Windows 7 directory path?

C:\WINDOWS\FONTS


It does not work.

Why? Does this Windows 7 very strict fonts or incompatible?

If you are trying to drag a font directly from a zip file into that folder, it will not work. You have to unzip the font file(s), and then drag those into the folder.

Hope this helps,

I know that zip can't work. I always unzip or Z-zip extract the file.

I place in download folder unzip and then move file to the Windows\fonts\ then it won't work. I noticed those Arial Narrow Bold are different size of bytes. It seems like more specific for Windows 7 not Vista or XP or older version for the font. Maybe One more somewhere should place font install folder than Windows/fonts/ it might be circulate computer relate Adobe Readers or Office or others like that. I guess. I have no idea where it was.

Thanks,

Stuart
 
YAAHHHOOO! :D

I found out that Adobe Photoshop CS4 has conflicts windows 7 for fonts Arial Narrow Bold. I unistalled Adobe Photoshop and try it again download Arial Narrow Bold. Then I start ADE. It works!!!! Whew. :rolleyes: Crazy complicated computer system. :eek:


Thanks,

Stuart
