Install FSDT Airports

I installed KJFK and KDFW on a third computer which has FSX on it. The reg files from the previous installaton were copied and pasted from the first computer. I installed KJFK. It came up in the trial version mode. When I atttempted to register it I received a message the Stand Alone Manager was out of date. Downloaded and installed the manager and completed the registration. Five minutes later installed KDFW. Same deal as with KJFK. Trial version, try to register, download manager is out of date, download manager, install, complete registration. SOS as the last time I did a reinstall of FSX and addons a year ago. How can a Stand Alone Manager be out of date in five minutes?

The Addon Manager should be installed AFTER all the sceneries, and only once, there's no need to keep reinstalling it after every scenery, it's enough to install it once, but after all the sceneries.

Bruce Hamilton:
Another trick when reinstalling that many sceneries is download all the installers first, then unplug your internet connection until you install the sceneries, then plug it back in for the stand alone addon manager.  Without that connection, it can't retrieve all those files off the server every time and installation runs faster.

Here is good one for you. Tonight I decided to install KLAX and KORD and then the Stand Alone Manager and register the airports in the windowed mode. The boxes requesting that I trust never appeared. But I pressed on with the installation. When I pressed fly now the progress bar showing the loading of the flight went to 100% and then the screen went blank. After several attemtpts with no better results I uninstalled KLAX and KORD using Control Panel\Programs and features and answered yes to uninstall Stand Alone Manager and Coult Engine. Still a blank screen. Then I uninstalled KJFK and KDFW figuring if there were no FSDT airports on the computer FSX would work. It does because I get the splash screen and all the other screens like free flight, settings, learning center, etc. The screen just goes blank after I press free flight and it loads, I can also quit a flight by pressing the Esc button and clicking on end flight. I just have a blank screen after the flight loads and before I click on end flight. Any ideas on what the problem might me?

Thank you

I just thought of another question. Should I be installing the original installer that coud have been downloaded anywhere from six months to two years ago or should I download and install the airports from the FSDT website?

That's the end of the story: if you really answered yes to uninstall Stand Alone Manager and Coult Engine, and FSX still doesn't load, it's absolutely sure your problem doesn't have anything to do with anything made by us. That uninstall IS really a clean uninstall.

Apart for now being sure it's nothing related to FSDT products, no.

As explained many times, if you don't want to redownload all the scenery installers, be sure to always install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager AFTER all the sceneries has been installed.
