CVN-FINAL CRUISES INSTALL PROBLEM
Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2020 10:35 pm
I am using Windows 10. I purchased CVN-65 Final Cruises on 12/16/2020 from FlightSim.com, order no. 128871. The file name was “SDB-645-cvn-65-final-cruises.zip”.
I am using the Steam version of FSX. I am not using AI carriers (that I know of), no Java script.
I have combed threw your “Team SDB” web site on Glowheat.com. I found either no apparent solution to my problem or there was one and I did not understand it. While I enjoy flying the sim am not really that computer savvy.
In the initial download I downloaded to my local FlightSim “payware folder” in Downloads. I extracted it to that same folder, leaving both the zipped and unzipped folders in the same parent folder. I ran the installation from that extracted folder, carefully following the instructions in the “CVN-65 Final Cruises Manual” that came with the download. I installed using the path to the c:\Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/FSX. At the very first instillation I did get the Windows challenge to the installation and I chose the run it anyway option.
I was able to find, install and enable “CVN_Final_Cruses_Traffic” scenery in “SETTINGS – SCENERY LIBRARY” as instructed. I restarted Flight Simulator and went to freeflight, however, there were no “CVN_Final_Cruses “shown in the free flight “load” menu so I do not know how to start it. While poking around I did find, under “CVN_Final_Cruses_Traffic” /Scenery, five .bgl files. I assumed them to be flight files. I did set all of my Graphic Settings to maximum, but still no joy. Also, nowhere could I find an adon pull down “menu mentioned in some of the other posts.
I also have the first CVN-65 version and have enjoyed it for several years. After the initial instillation problem with the new “CVN_Final_Cruses: I uninstalled both versions, using the uninstaller for each, and reinstalled “CVN_Final_Cruses_Traffic”- alone several times, thinking there may have been a conflict. Still no entries in the “Load” menu.
I reinstalled the original CVN-65 again so that I could use it while sorting this problem out. I noticed that with the older instillation that I had two installation pages, the second one which flights into the load menu. But with the “CVN_Final_Cruses “instillation I had only one instillation page, with no reference to creating flights. Could that be my problem or am I missing something? (Usually when something goes wrong I am fairly comfortable that it is due to something I did.)
I checked my security software to see if it was blocking any related file or app and not notifying me. I found no such instance.
Thanks for any help you can give.
