Doesn't Run

Post by [email protected] »

Just purchased, installed and tried to run my 182 skylane. Got an error message in FSX saying they could not validate publisher. Loaded anyway, all I get is floating cockpit, no plane. what is wrong, please fix this. $50 is a lot to pay for something that does not work.

Have you tried any of the items in the tech support thread yet?

This sounds like you might have a disc version of FSX without acceleration and may need to install SP1 and SP2. These are the minimum requirements to run the software.

If you have FSX:SE or acceleration then more info is required to understand the problem you are having. I'm not quite clear in the issue you are experiencing based on the description.

Hello fpmitchell and welcome to the A2A forums.

Yes, as Oracle427 mentions, it sounds like you may just need to install the free service packs from Microsoft if you're using the original boxed edition of FSX. Both are needed and they can be downloaded from the links below.

Thanks,
