Installation Problems - Windows 7?

Post by pcremin »

Hi all,

I recently upgraded my operating system to Windows 7 64bit. I followed the various topics relating to installation problems into windows 7 and followed the advice by running FS9 in its own unique folder on C:/ rather than program files. I finally managed to get WOAI files and MAIW loading into the correct files, but now don't seem to have any AI aircraft. I can confirm that the AFCAD's seem to have loaded correctly into scenery files and I have adjusted traffic to 100% but still no static ai or traffic. I would be grateful for your help.

Regards

Matt

Thanks for you support; now have the aircraft for the maiw direct download files, still haven't found the solution for the woai files. I now seem to have a separate problem in that FS9 wont allow me to add the scenery files in the normal way, anny suggestions?

Thanks

Scenery folder is a known issue with Windows 7.

Way around it -
Add it as you would normally, on pressing OK nothing happens.
Click the go back one level icon, looks like a folder with an up arrow.
The scenery will then get added.
