MVAMS not installed-SOLVED

Post by olivier.ifrvfr » Sun Mar 01, 2020 1:15 pm

Hello all,

I've just purchased and installed the PC6 using ORBX Central (4.1.1).
I cannot run or even locate the MVAMS application.
The folder MVAMS exists in "user" /appdata/local but only contents two files. "PC6.dll" (in modules folder) and "simulator.ini" in the Configurations/PC6 folder.
No executable file.

Airplane seems to behave normally, but I do not have acces to any customization.

Any suggestion ?

Best regards

P3D V4.5.13.32097
Windows 7 pro

Hi , thanks for quick answer.

Automatic uninstallation doesn't work (via ORBX central). I have no entry in the windows programs and features panel, so I cannot uninstall that way too. Should I attempt a manual uninstal?

I will remove:
-Milviz folder in Prepar3d v4
-MV_pc-6_** folders in simobjects/airplanes
-MVAMS folder in appdata/local.

Any other file to remove that I forgot?

I see in the Orbx Central under "Partners", at the bottom of the list is "Misc". You can then download a free copy of MVAMS.

don't uninstall - just install over.
You could try the installer at the top of this forum

Thank you Bruce, you are perfecly right and it did the trick :D
I am glad it was that simple ;)
Maybe the fact that the plane and the utility don't come in the same package when using Orbx should be better documented ?

Thanks to doodlebug for help

thanks for the feedback - using the ORBx installer is new territory - we'll look into what can be done to make installation easier or at least the instructions more explicit
