To buy a add on over 20.00$ and then hacking around like good old bill gates in his starting days, to set up the program to run?
You obviously don't "hack" anything. The message you commented on, was posted by another user. It's not "solution" and all that manual hacking is entirely unnecessary, because the SAME procedure is done automatically by our Uninstaller, if you reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?"
sorry, but isnt there really a way to find an installation routine, for an addon which works properly?
They all work, provided you follow simple instructions written on screen.
i have installed KORD vers. 1.3.1. and KJFK 1.2.1 with addonmanagerx vers 2.9.0.6 and when starting fsx i got msg that KJFK & KORD are outdated and need updated. But how?
The message doesn't say that. The message says:
"You have an outdated version of JFK, Please download the latest version at
www.fsdreamteam.com"
Do i have do download (buy) a new version?
It should be very well known that all our downloads are always freely available, and there's only ONE installer (so you don't have to figure it out what to download), and since there's no difference between Trial installer and Full installer (again, the installer is only one), there's shouldn't be any doubt what you have to download and, since it has been clearly explained all over the website, that if you install the Trial version it can be activated with your Serial Number, and that your activation is not lost, unless you change hardware, that remains with the simplest procedure of all:
- Download the latest installer, which is always freely available, and that's your "complex" upgrade procedure.
You got it entirely backwards: since OTHER developers don't have freely available downloads and don't have an user-friendly activation method that *WORKS* and allows them to post full installers in public, they have to force to you cumbersome private downloads, patches, registrations to access private files, the responsibility to safekeep the installer yourself, etc.
With out system, there's nothing of this. You can lose your installer, download it for free again. You don't have to install a base program then get mad with patches, you don't have to figure it out what's the most updated version, because the installer we have freely available online without any registration, it's ALWAYS kept updated.
It's so much better, than you can't believe it is, because you accustomed to the cumbersome method of patches and private downloads, that you believed is "complex", when it obviously isn't
when saying yes, i am prompted to FSDT HP
Yes, you are prompted to go to our Home page.
and have to download the addonmanager....i did 3 tmes!
No, you aren't NOT prompted to download the Addon Manager. As the previous message clearly said, you were supposed to download your OUTDATED SCENERY. If the message said that JFK was outdated, why you downloaded the Addon Manager ?
and yes....i stopped all anti virus (only for her majesty "addonmanagerx").
That you might have to stop the antivirus (if your antivirus has this problem) to install a flight sim addon, is very well known fact, just look at the Flight1 website, and see what they have to say about turning off the antivirus. And, not all antivirus are defective and mistakenly detect our products as threats. Most don't. It's only "his majesty" Norton that has this bug and Symantec keep saying they fixed it, but they don't.
The free and always updated antivirus Security Essentials from Microsoft, for example (just to give an example of a free alternative to Norton), for example, doesn't mistakenly detect our products as threats, doesn't require to turn off anything or configure anything. It just works.
So, you didn't had any problem to begin with.
Your problem was simply that you haven't read the message clearly, that prompted to update a scenery, and you keep updating the Addon Manager, which wasn't needed. And, you couldn't believe that all our downloads are always updated and freely available, so you didn't think of just trying the obvious solution: download the installer on the site that, as explained many times, acts as a Trial if you haven't registered it, or as a Full product if there's an already an activation in your system.
Can't be simpler than that. No patches, no registrations to download your files, there's only one installer, and it's always the most current version available.
