I just tried installing FSAcars and am being told there is no fsacars.ini, then it asks if I want to notify microsoft and send an error report. I don't.

So why no ini. I installed FSUIPC (non-registered, even though I paid for it way back when), installed FSUIPC, moved the cva planes and cva.ini file into the FSUIPC folder, and ran it outside FS the first time. It worked outside of FS (ie no crash).

I did notice that it was planning to install it into the Program Files folder, so I navigated to the FSACARS_CVA folder and said put it there. Now there is a fsacars folder under the FSACARS_CVA folder.

Any ideas, or should I just uninstall and reinstall?

Edit Oops - I did a search for microsft and error message but not for fsacars.ini. I'll do that now.....

edit 2: search didn't help but reinstall did. I deleted the old folder, and reinstalled. I still had to create a fsacars folder under Program Files but this time the first subfolder is called fsacars. last time it was called FSACARS_CVA, must be my mistake.

Errr, something still doesn't sound quite right. When you download the FSAcars program, it is in a Zipfile. You should extract it to a temporary location. This should create a folder called FSAcars_CVA. Inside of this is the exe file to run the installer.

When you run the installer, it should install FSAcars in your C/Program Files directory. It should create a folder in your Program Files directory called fsacars. All the goodies should be in there with no fsacars subfolder.

When you go to run it and it tells you there is no ini, that is correct. It must be run once after install to create a default ini. This is not an error...tell microcrap to mind their own business!! :p Just let it create the default ini, close it down, put your CVA ini and the CVAplanes text file in and go fly!!

Everything worked fine. In FS9.

Now I'm setting up FSX for the big leap forward.

and FSAcars doesn't work. When I start it up with the brakes on in FSX and with a scheduled flight in my flight schedules folder, it checks for the company (check), that I'm at the departure airport (check), but then before I can click on the Flight from VA button, it comes up with a message saying that FS is recovering from a crash, and then it reverts to send log mode or something.

any ideas?
