xplane installation

[carlosdesedas]

Hi. I just purchased Air Manager for the ipad and tried installing the pc client portion. It didn't recognize my current xplane 10 installation folder, which is not on the C drive, thus I am not able to extract the plugin and install it.

Also, I have xplane 11 installed on another folder and would love to try it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,


Sorry for the inconvenience. You can download the plugin for X-plane here:

Air Plugin.zip

(86.68 KiB) Downloaded 270 times

Make sure to copy it to <X-plane path>/resources/plugins. Same for X-plane 11.
Full path would be:
<X-plane path>/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/64/xpl.win

I'm very curious why the installer did not install the X-plane plugin correctly on your system. Could you restart the installer and click on the 'detail' button next to the X-plane icon and copy/paste that information here?


Thanks in advance and enjoy Air Manager,

Corjan

ok... got it working with the lastest plugin... THANK YOU!!! what probably happened is that I "moved" the old xplane 10 installation to another drive and installed xplane 11, but the installer didn't recognize this...

Looking for X-plane file at path: C:\Users\Carlitos\AppData\Local\x-plane_install_10.txt

Now, I'm trying to get it working in Prepared 3D 3, but it's not recognizing the connection. I wasn't asked any permissions the first time I tried running p3d after the install. and I got this error message..

Searching installation path for Prepar3d (v3)

Successfully installed Air Manager on 'Prepar3d (v3)'.



The actual path of Prepared 3D is "C:\Juegos\Prepar3D v3" and it's properly installed.... now, I KID YOU NOT.. I din't have a HLM\SOFTWARE\Lockhhed Martin\ entry on my registry, and all installs have been through the proper downloads from their website... looking through the registry I did find 2 entries under HCU\SOFTWARE\, one under "Lockheed Martin" and one under "LockheedMartin" [no spaces]..

Prehaps you can give me a .reg file so I can import it directly and try?

Thanks!


Edit: rebooted and now it works on Prepar3d, but the above error messages still hold true...

I'm still having problems. I copied the "Air Plugin" folder to the appropriate folder and I still cannot get X-Plane to install the plug in. Here's the path I used:

<X-plane path>/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/64/xpl.win

Would someone assist me?

Looks like the correct path... assume you restarted XPlane after you placed the plugin? Does it show up when you select the Plugin admin menu in XP?

[PlaneFlyGirl7]

No, it's still not showing up. I've restarted XP numerous times last night. In times past, I've added plugins in XP, but this time, it's not working. I'm also reconsidering wiping XP and reinstalling it. It's probably unnecessary. I'm also considering downloading XP11. Your thoughts? Would it be better to run XP and Air Manager on the iOS platform on a Mac?

Here's my platform and what I'm running:

MAC Bootcamp
Windows 7
Air Manager for Windows

Do you also have the 32 bit plugin there? Just to be sure...
So:
X-Plane 10\Resources\plugins\Air Plugin\32\win.xpl

Oh and by the way, it's win.xpl and not xpl.win, but I guess you have that correct

[PlaneFlyGirl7]

I copied it to the 64 bit plugin and not the 32. Let me try it.
The path for the 64 bit is: X-Plane 10\Resources\plugins\Air Plugin\64\win.xpl

I was specifically talking about X-plane 11 ... Did I miss something when you were talking about win.xpl?

[PlaneFlyGirl7]

Good news! I installed Air Manager on my Mac and it works!

Thanks for your help!
Happy Flying!
