Weird. Steam and/or FSX has been known to do strange things though.

So pardon, but what the fuck is going on? There appears to be no reason for
this. I followed instructions.

Hi,Blind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
Unless I am mistakened, the binary FSX Steam Edition file is supposed
to be installed in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\
In Jody's case, it's installed under (and I am going by memory)...
C:\Program Files (x86)\DoveTail Games\blah, blah, blah...
In addition, when saving a Flight Plan and a Flight from within FSX,
it appears as though the files are being saved under a different user name.
Basically, it looks nothing like a normal FSX Steam installation.
However, Zack, if you can walk Jody through the steps necessary to
resolve these issues, I would very much appreciate it. You seem to
know a lot more than I on this subject matter.... I'm merely an old
programmers who deals with bits and bytes! (smiles)

Robert and all,
May I ask if this is definitely an FSX Steam issue? I know that the
IYP instructions seem to presume that FSX SE is installed _alongside_
original FSX. If it isn’t, the folder structure looks a lot more like
original FSX, and consequently folders might not be where you would
expect.
What exactly was missing?
Best,
Zack.

Hi,
Well, there's something amiss with the FSX Steam installation. The
installation process did not create files and folders in the correct
places.
I would highly recommend that you completely unistall and re-install
the Steam Edition using all of th default settings.
BTW..... WARNING: You are dangerously close to running out of disc space!
Only about 3GB left on your C drive,

Same issue. All folders shared. FSUIPC 4.96. Loaded flight

no aircraft detected." Not sure what else to try. I never had
this issue with my other PC. Also, I noticed that when trying
to load a flight plan, it says no flights found.

I've found that you don't need to do that with the demo. As

loadthe Skyhawk is at an airport parked on a runway or
whereever, IYP should load fine. It'll say that "no flight

loading one from the flights
Load option.
