Can't find FsP

[Ayubowan]

Hello together!

First of all: I am a big fan of FsPassengers, the FS9 version has been very great! Now that I used to play FSX, I downloaded FsPassengers.
I opened the installer and it immediately found my directory. I continued the installation process until I was informed that I have to launch FSX and
wait for the welcome screen.

The problem is: There was no welcome screen and there is also no point "FsPassengers" in the FSX menu bar. I uninstalled FsPassengers and tried to
reinstall, but anyway: I can't find FsPassengers :-(

I started FSX (and also the setup) as administrator, I also tried to change the compatibility mode but it didn't work. I'm really looking forward to
your support as I don't want to miss this wonderful tool.

(I asked my friend Dr Google, but without any good results. The FSX never asked me to accept any dll.)

Kindly regards from Germany
Bernhard

Windows 8?? FSPX was designed to run on Windows XP with Service Pack 2. IT just about works with Vista and Win 7, but gives some users trouble. As
Win 8 is another new operating system I sadly doubt that FSPX will work correctly, if at all when installed, if it installs...

So why am I able to install it? Plus there is no point in the menu, so do you really think that it is a OS problem?

As Whiskey said, FSPassenegers was written for Win XP. It barely works in some peoples Win 7 and hardly ever in Vista. I can only
imagine the nightmare Win 8. It would be like asking windows 8 to work a program written COBAL.

Ayubowan, I'm able to install countless pieces of software that date back to the 1990s on my Windows 7 computer, but that doesn't mean that they'll
work, as the OS is just too advanced and different to what they were initially designed to run on.

Up until I refreshed Windows 8, FSPaX was working great, no problems. have you tried to install it using windows 8 hidden administrator?
do I google search to find out how you find it if not and lag in as that Admin and see if that works.

Archy, You just gave advice on a thread from over a year ago. We call that necroposting
