BigFred -> Real Flight 6.5 upgrade and 5.5 aircraft (12/2/2012 2:06 AM)
I installed 6.5 upgrade last night and loved it. However, none of my airplanes/helos are visible...only the ones that were included on the upgrade are visible. I copied the files into the data folder for 6.5, and when I restarted it, it said all the 5.5 dck files were incompatible with 6.5. I'm assuming that all the airplanes that are in the expansion packs I own are compatible, but I haven't been able to confirm this. Has anyone successfully transferred their 5.5 aircraft to 6.5? What's the trick. Thanks.

can you install the expansion packs after the 6.5 is installed? Think that is the key rather than just moving files around. I also had trouble trying to reninstall an older verison of realflight. Had to call the support line for them to release an old registration for a dead HDD. Maybe this has to happen for the expansion packs as well?

Yes you CAN install the Expansion pack disks after RF 6.5 is installed. What is the "trick"? 1 - Run the setup on the Expansion Pack Disks "as administrator" ( something you should also do on your Realflight installation ). 2 - The Expansion pack setup will need to be given the explicit path to the Realflight installation. 3 - Run Realflight as Administrator and you will prompted for the serial numbers the first time. More info here: Info - Click me! But wait! There is an easier way! If you have G5.5 you can use this MUCH EASIER method... ( note I wrote it for G3/G4 but it applies for G6.x ) Quick installation/transfer - Click me!

Good links, Opjose. I was going to post the 6.5 link but you beat me to it.

Thanks for the links. I'll try them once I reinstall it. (Had to give it a test run, but now it's uninstalled and wrapped under the tree until Christmas! It worked great, though.)
