Hey,

I'm new here and I just downloaded a 737-300 from wilco and a fsx airbus series vol.2. for FSX.
When I install the planes everything looks fine, I choose the language, type in the registration code and then I have to select the correct Flight simulator directory. So I choose to install it under simobjects. But the computer says "please select your correct Flight simulator directory”
I tried to install it under other directories, but he keeps on saying the same thing.
Can anybody help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot
Willem

Hi Willem. I don't know for certain but I would select your FSX root directory.

Hey Hagar,

Thanks for the quick reply, I looked, but I didn't find any roots directory in fsx.

I think "FSX root directory" means the "FSX" main folder.  If you installed FSX in it's default location, that should be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Make sure you have the FSX version of the software. If you continue having problems I suggest you contact Wilco product support. http://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=support

hey

had the same problem but with the 777, wilco said it wasnt their product, that was faulty, I tried to download a new file, ect.
eventually I moved FSX over on my C drive had it on H before. and that solved the problem.

so check your partition.

and yes I did a complete reinstall, wasnt happy with Wilco, but it is a nice 777 must give them that.
