I have both of these programs, but never actually got around to installing them and getting them registered. They were reviewed in Computer Pilot magazine and in PC Pilot, but some time ago now.

I used several back when 2k2 was first coming out, and I have learned something very important: DON'T TRUST THEM!!

Well, maybe its not THAT bad.  But I never used them when ACOF came out, since I often found that they overwrote some default stuff if they thought it was necessary.  And if you're paying money for one, you're just throwing your money away on something unnecessary.

That's just my opinion on the matter, so try to get some other viewpoints if you can.

ahh yes i used to use fsmanager or whatever it is called, it was the biggest load of crap ever, it never installed gauges or effects propperly and i was left with almost useless aircraft, so heres a tip just learn how to install them manually  ;)

I bought SimControl. I didn't have much success either. Trying to install anything with it usally resulted with an error message.

If Hagar is reading this thread, he will agree that the only way to install aircraft is to install them manually, and NEVER use Auto-Installers to install directly into any of your Fight Sim Folders... ...!

Create a blank Folder and install into that, read the "Readme" notepad for instructions, then drag the various contents into the correct Folders within the Sim......!

I often install directly to my Desktop where I can see the files, examine them, and then work from there... ...!
