Another Steam Problem

[chopper_nut]

Has anybody else had problems with Simconnect? According to everywhere I've looked, you have to manually install Simconnect (included) Trouble is that I can't seem to get in to install. It starts to install and then the installer just disappears. It's not running in the background or anything. I've downloaded the files from a third party and they do the same thing. A2As stuff doesn't work properly and I bought AccuFeel today which is installed but doesn't show up in the menu within the sim

Cant help you sorry Nick ..... mainly because i have no idea of what your talking about (Im an old fart)
When i see these types of posts .... i realize how much i dont know . There is a whole world out there that i know nothing about ..... (Sim wise) , and maybe the rest .
Hope you get it sorted Nick.

I have read elsewhere that there are several simconnect.dll files around, and installing the latest can cause a clash with an older one in your main MS FSX installation.

Hey Nick , I brought Steam but have not installed it and I do have Accu-Feel , this was one program I was going to look into a little whiles back to compare , simply didn't get the chance.

Yeah I forgot to mention, the new builds of Steam don't require you to manually install the simconnect files. A couple of add ons, have required me to add things to the registry to get them to show up in the menus. Accu-feel, Razbam's Metro and something else I forget now have required me to do this.

One I brought on the $5 dollar deal only as a backup , I should whiz it in to test it myself and check and compare.

It's pretty good mate. I'd give it a go if I were you.

Cheers Nick, I'll check what HD has some space on it and go from there.
