MyAAS2 issues..

[dickcory1]

so, long story... but...

for some reason, my fs9 had some issues, and I had to system restore to a date earlier in the day.

now, all of a sudden, MyAAS2 says "Flight Simulator not found" when trying to activate the flight.
any clues?

I would reinstall FSUIPC. Should solve your problem.

tried that twice... in the process of uninstalling and re-installing FS9, and clearing out some other programs as well...

yupp... just cleared fs9, installed it again, installed FSUIPC, and still nothing.
another concern... or something that has changed since yesterday, is now FS9 asks me for "permission" to open the program, (never did before) and i am fearing the computer now sees it as a different file, and thus perhaps MYAAS2 does as well?

[dickcory1]

any additional help would be appreciated. if not, i may need to hang up my wings for a while...

ok, NOW i am getting "Database files does not seem to be valid" when I open MYAAS2

[dickcory1]

ok, fixed that issue... but still getting "flight sim not found" and i am at a loss. i am not interested in continuing to re-install, and my FSUIPC is fine (run other programs with the latest version, and they are all working fine).

When re-installing, everything was placed in the same directory, etc as before and the program itself us running smooth. other than the "permission" request at start-up, nothing else is making logical sense...

have now re-installed almost everything twice.... and still get "no flight sim found" msg.

what gets me is the UAC coming on when installed in the x86 folder, whereas it never did before.

uninstalling at the moment, and will try installing in the normal folder. i would bet all my virtual money that i have tried almost everything that could be recommended... been working on it 5 solid hours. I am "on vacation" for the next week and was looking forward to flight time, and not issues...

UPDATE:
had to clear registry, and re-install to a completely different location... and after some arm-wrestling, it is working.

TGIF...

That was a pretty good workout. At least you got it all working again. Should now be able to spend your vacation doing what's important...flying.
