I'm getting strange errors with this update. Updater tells me I don't have a native P3D v2.0 172 or Cherokee installed (when I do). 182 Updates fine.

All is well here now.

Suddenly it runs well and now it's done and the update process is completed.
Looks great, now looking forward for the next flight tomorrow :)

Best greetings from the very north of germany

TreeTop64 I had the same exact problems with a previous version and this one as well. I have FSX on a separate hard drive, and tried saving the file there and extracting it there.

How I got it to work was just keeping the A2A file in the downloads folder on C: where it arrives initially, then extracting and running the program as administrator. I have UAC completely turned off, but for some reason this method still works anyway. Run it from the C: drive in the downloads folder. Also, I'm not sure if it's coincidental or not, but turn off all antivirus software. Not sure if one fix helps or the other, but by applying them all I got it to work despite the same errors. Windows idiosyncracies for ya.

Hello,

which C172 and Cherokee products/licenses are you running? If you purchased from the A2A Store do you have your order numbers?

thanks,
Lewis

The updater is started and cycles through all the installed aircraft. Once the C182 is found it downloads the updates for it. Then it begins installing the updates, but it notifies that the updater must be closed to continue. I click [Close Process], but nothing happens.

Progress stops at 56%:
Copying file:
C:\Game Files\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\\client.wyc

I must cancel and close the entire updater process - including the Close Process notification - to continue using the system. The C182 is thus not updated.

This has been tried multiple times to no avail.


EDIT: Tried going into the Processes tab in the Windows Task Manger to manually close the "A2A_Update_04_15_15.EXE" process when this stoppage occurs. After closing the .exe, the C182 update installation continues, notifies that the C182's update is complete, then terminates. I re-ran the updater to verify that it was indeed updated, but when the C182 is found the entire process is repeated - the update is downloaded and installed again (as opposed to being shown as already updated like the other A2A products installed), and the stoppage occurs again. The same Task Manager work-around is used again, with exactly the same results.

Can I safely assume that the C182 has been proper updated at this point?

Thanks. :)
Hi people

I'm getting the same then manually cancelling as above for the 172, but it does not continue to update the 182 or cherokee and just ends???? what should i do?

Hey Guys,

are you only running one instance of the updater?

Are you downloading the latest updater or trying to use a previous version?

Are you extracting as MigDriver suggests?

thanks,
Lewis

Just running the installer from a different drive than where FSX is installed did the trick. Initially, I extracted the installer to the same drive that FSX was installed. Simply extracting to a different drive seems to have unconfused the issue.

Thanks.

I downloaded the update and I get an error message "Aircraft Initialization failure C172R OSPREY"

This is an aircraft that was repainted for my CAP squadron. What can I do to fix it?

Karl - when you installed the repaint, you'll have copied an additional section of text into the aircraft.cfg file. You'll need to re-add that section as the update will have overwritten your existing aircraft.cfg file. (there should be a backup of your old aircraft.cfg file in the "...FSX\A2A\Cessna172\BACKUP" folder so you could re-copy the text section from there if necessary.)
