Thanks in advance for creating this nice scenery. I hope to be able to resolve the "no buildings" issue with some assistance.
VISTA, 64-bit operating system
FSX: just installed SP2 to accommodate the LSGG scenery installation. I performed subsequent computer re-boot after downloading and installing FSX-Service Pack 2.
Symptom: Buildings don't appear
Cause: From reviewing the Forum posts, it appears to be "Do you see the "Couatl powered products" menu under the "Addons" menu?"
No, I do not see in FSX under Add-Ons, "Couatl powered products". I do see the "Add-On Manager" though.
Attempted resolution: Since I was unable to locate a customized "uninstall" executable for the LSGG scenery, I used the Control Panel > Programs and Features option to Uninstall "FSDreamTeam Geneva FSX 1.3.1" and then re-booted the computer
I then re-installed the scenery, which was recognized as a previous purchase because I had entered the serial number, and under FSX > Add-Ons > Addon Manager > FSDreamTeam > Geneva, the status shows Active.
Still did not see under Add-Ons, "Couatl powered products", and therefore, I assume the reason no buildings appear.
I downloaded and installed the standalone AddOn Manager, unsuccessful.
I uninstalled the scenery again, re-boot, re-installed, unsuccessful.
I am not very computer savy, but I was wondering if VISTA would not run the couatl.exe, even though the one time I saw the prompt, I selected always trust software from that publisher.
So I found the coutatl.exe here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsdreamteam\couatl
I assume that couatl.exe not functioning is the reason I am not seeing the Add-On "Couatl powered products" listed?
To check if couatl.exe was being blocked from functioning, I tried the couatl.exe using "Run as Administrator".
If this is relevant, the message which appears says:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
As mentioned, I do not have an in-depth understanding of computers so I tried to provide as much detail to help identify a solution. Equally, thanks in advance for being as specific as possible with any suggestions by including precise instructions.
kind regards,
Mike
p.s. as a separate question, is there a link available to a manual for the Add-On Manager? Thanks.
