F-4 won't install in Steam

Post by CDNflyer » Tue Jun 20, 2017 2:11 pm

I just bought FSX SE and I can't get either F-4 version to appear in the AC list. The F-100 installed no problem. I still have the old FSX installed as well. I have selected both Steam install options but no dice.

If you check the Steam FSX location\SimObjects\Airplanes\ folder, does do the Milviz F-4 Phantom folders show up there?

This post will be moved to the support forums shortly. Right now you are posting in the general forums.

It's there but there are no texture files.

Sounds like an incomplete install. Can you try posting the installer log here from a reinstall?

I don't know where I'd find that. The installer also doesn't have an uninstall option for me anymore.

It isn't a separate file. But during the install it shows where the files are being placed and such.

Ok I figured out what I did wrong. I was using the EADV installer instead of the base AC. Seems to work OK. I installed as FSX SE with FSX installed. If I uninstall the boxed version of FSX will anything stop working?

Not likely.
