Simviation Forums

Goodly morning all...

To start off with I was going to post this in the FSX Forum and then I looked at several other forums and decided...no...would post it here... :-/

Last night I decided to reinstall FSX.

I followed all of "Nicks" procedures as they work well for me and I do use his FSX settings as well.

I only found one (1) problem.

It is in my Douglas DC3 FSX Folder.

I had the download "Awesome 4 Some" installed and I wanted everything back to the basic FSX.

When I opened the Douglas DC3 FSX Folder the Awesome 4 Some was still showing in the folder.

The Awesome 4 Some aircraft do not show in the FSX program in the aircraft selection section.

Now everything else was deleted just the way I wanted it to be but this.

Wondering what happened?

The FSX simulator program does work fine just that I am curious why the Awesome 4 Some was not deleted from the FSX Douglas DC3 Folder as this was another install.

Any comments would be most appreciated...

If I understand your question correctly, you Uninstalled, and then Re Installed, and you assumed that everything from the previous installation should have been deleted?

Uninstalling FSX will only delete things that come with the Stock FSX, because the Uninstaller only knows about things that come with the FSX default installation and nothing about things you may have added at a later time.

Wrong forum, punishment will be issued at dawn

Goodly evening all...

Thanks "snippyfsxer" that does make sense.

Sorry Mark and I thought about putting it here also...

As one who has fubar'd FSX many times, I can attest to what Snippy stated.

I learned the hard way over more that a few hours, and attempts, at undoing and redoing FSX/Accel that you hafta meticulously seek out anything related to FSX when going for a total deletion. 

You can bet your last nickel that FSX will find anything you missed!!!   And what ya missed will most likely be the bane of your current existence!

Just for that sorta thing I have a complete copy of FSX on an extenal 1TB HD. 

Sooooooooo, now when the "Fatal Error" box sticks it's tongue out at me, I simply click on the details and see what the malady is..........then cut out the problem 'child' and replace with the backup off of the HD.

Goodly morning all...

Thanks "U4EA" for the comment...
