FS2PH5 Manage FS Variable

[HB_XRS]

Hi Alan

I have uninstall FS2PH5, delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\FS2Phidget5 folder and install again.
I have still the same "picture". none FSVariable and also my projekt is still here.
Is there another place where FS2PH5 save variable and project data?
It looks like as FS2PH5 was not uninstall and delete.

cheers

Richard,
I downloaded version from this web site and re-installed.
I see what problem is.
Setup creates 2 folders named FsVariable4315 and FSVariable4364
This is incorrect. I have corrected for next release.
Here is what to do to fix with version you have:
Rename FSVariables4364.ini in the \Program Files (x86)\FS2Phidget folder to FSVariables4315.ini
Create FSVariable folder in \Program Files (x86)\FS2Phidget
Move FSVariables4315.ini to the FSVariable folder.
Move all files from FSVariable4315 folder to FsVariable folder.
Move all files from FSVariable4364 folder to FsVariable folder.
Add the file from Jess to FSVariable folder.
Delete FSVariable4315 folder.
Delete FSVariable4364 folder.
You should be ok when you run program and select FSVariable Manager and when you assign FsVariables.

Regards,
Alan

Richard,

Instructions above are for version4.

When version 5 is installed only the main folder, FS2Phidget5, is created.
Subsidiary folders for FSVariables, Sounds and Projects are created when you subsequently run FS2Phidget.

Regards,
Alan.

Administrator User is NOT the same as "run as administrator" on Win7.
Right-click on Fs2Phidget5 short-cut and select "Properties" from selection.
Select "Compatibility" tab.
Check "run this program as an administrator" on the "Privileges" section.
Click "Apply" and click "OK".
See if this makes a difference.
