I have not encountered any issues so far.  As an example my Orlando International Airport entry in  FSX Scenery.cfg points to my P3Dv2 installation and loads fine.

[Area.133]
Title=KMCO
Local=C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Addon Scenery\KMCO\KMCO
Layer=133
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE

My FSX is on an external drive.

Hi guys, I updated my vLSO from one released early this year to the latest beta. At first try I was able to hear the voice calls but now I just get the textual banner when I should hear the LSO. I re ran 0.7.1.0 and I get normal voice. I tested using the nimitz from the VRS pull down menu, Dinos Tomcat.
Not sure what to do but my use of FSX hinges on this, :)
I LOVE vLSO!
Thanks for the advice in advance and keep up the great work. This program is such a fine addition.

Sorry it took me a few days to get around to running the checker program...it appears to me that it's only finding my FSX installation.  I have P3D and FSX installed on the same drive but I am really not using FSX anymore.  The only reason I still have FSX installed is because I am running Ultimate Traffic 2 in P3D through my FSX installation plus I have a few other things still to test between FSX and P3D.  I eventually plan to get rid of FSX completely except for a very basic install to test scenery design in.  Screenshot is attached of the FSChecker results...

Following the tip from Russ I checked my FSX installation and it too had the Choctaw field scenery disabled.  I activated it in the scenery library in FSX and now it is working with vLSO in P3D.  So the fix for now it seems is to make sure that all FCLP scenery is installed and active in FSX as well as P3D.  Also I forgot to mention that when running P3D both the Simconnect and FSX bars in vLSO are showing green and have been every time I have used P3D and vLSO.

Checks 4.0 now.
I was getting the exception error and I used your latest .exe file and that seemed to fix it.
Thanks
Really great to be able to use this. It adds to the realism by miles. If we could check in into the marshall stack and hear the LSO chatter with other aircraft that would really add to it!
I Aint complainin' though.

Guys,
Please download the latest FSchecker version from my blog. All earlier versions searched for either FSX or P3D and on machines with both sims installed stopped after FSX was found. This one will check ALL setups (both FSX and P3D).

Anyone with vLSO successfully running on a P3D only system?

This is what showed up running the latest FSChecker.

P3D is installed. The executable is Prepar3D.exe

What programing language is vLSO writtren in?

Russ

Roaming path: C:\ProgramData

------------------------------------------------------
Searching for FSX...

FSX installed in E:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\
FSX actual scenery config file found in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\

274 scenery definitions read

------------------------------------------------------
Searching for P3D (64 or 32 bit)...

None of P3D versions were found

Very funny... This means there are no P3D entries in your system's registry. To find those, my program (written in Delphi) uses locations mentioned here. So, either that info is wrong or your P3D installation was somehow corrupted (or overlapped by FSX or something)...

Could you do some easy explorations for me? Run regedit.exe and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tree. Then, depending on your OS, locate SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2 or SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2. My program tries to find exactly the same keys as spelled in the above link. If it can't find the keys, then most likely they slightly changed their names - Lockheed Martin to LockheedMartin and/or Prepar3D v2 to Prepar3Dv2...

So, first please make sure one of the key is present, and second, what is the value of its SetupPath parameter?

The AppPath for P3D is E:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\

The above is a copy and paste from the registry. Read from HKEY_CURRENT_USER. My OS is Win 8.1.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE P3D entry SetUpPath is E:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\

I made a mistake when I first posted a response. Corrected with this edit.

I ran the newer FS Checker and it showed no P3D entries.  I checked my registry entries and everything seems ok in the Wow6432Node entry...screenshots are attached.  Once I activated each scenery in FSX it now works in vLSO in Prepar3D.  This would seem to line up with the registry entries being wrong but I can't find an issue unless I'm not seeing something right.  The setup path is correct.

Brandon,
According to your first screenshot you were running an obsolete version of the FSchecker, not the latest one. Anyways, I've compiled another version of the program (version 2) so you should download it again from my blog and check its output.

According to your other screenshot you have (or had) both P3D major versions installed - v.1 and v.2.-  as well as FSX %) Also, you can notice how LM spelled their v1 keys - with no spaces in between...

Any suggestions concerning the FSChecker?
