Morning,
Some progress to report!
After much fiddling around I discovered that there was a 'smudge' on the CD Rom which was preventing the installation from proceeding. Once I cleaned the CD the program installed with out a hitch. Embarrassing, but I wanted to post this in case it helps others.
But!
Once installed the version was version 3.0. I then applied the cumulative updater, this seemed to work and the version became Version 3.14. I then checked for updates, the result was the version is up to date.
I followed the instructions for installing the P3D 'conversion'. It seemed to be fine but, when trying to run Flightdeck_Companion.exe, it will not run, nothing at all appears to happen. FDC.EXE does run, but I'm unable to connect via WideFS.
I have not investigated the network issue because I wanted to ask a question. I think I'm right in saying that the programme should launch using the Flightdeck_Companion.exe, not FDC.exe. Is there some way I can check to see if the P3D 'conversion' has actually applied successfully?
Thanks very much.
Regards
Dave
