Lies..... I have the Carenado CT206H STATIONAIR and PC12 and they both work perfectly. Install was only a few clicks and thats it. You shouldn't need to browse the install as the installer will auto-detect the path to put it

Another thing you can try since you are already a customer with aleobe / Carenado is download the install from where ever you originally bought it from or contact aleobe / Carenado support and tell them you have the CD version and that you need to download the planes with the updated installers. They might work with you on that since you are an existing customer.

But are they the Boxed editions? I have probably 8 or 9 and all work but they are all Download and single FSX-SE installation. Just pointing that out.

Note: Download and boxed Carenado planes work 100% with FSX SE.

Note 2: They do not work if you are using pirated/cracked/torrented versions.

Just sayin.

Choda way did you block me?:(

[yellowjacket]

Look for a Folder in FSX called DLC

Many of the DLC you download go into that special folder as a number.

To put it bluntly, Carenado's way of doing installs is downright flaky. It is able to detect that the path to FSX-SE is \Steam\SteamApps\Common\FSX, but it insists on locating that on the C: drive, even if you installed Steam on a different drive. So, no matter where your Steam install is, it will decide to install it to C:\Steam\SteamApps\Common\FSX. With later products designed to work with both FSX and P3D, this isn't a problem -- the installer screen that lets you set which of the two products to use will also include a dialog showing the install path; if you have installed Steam on a different drive, you can simply edit the path by changing the drive letter to the right one, and it will work fine. Earlier products, however, like their C152, install to the presumed C-drive Steam directory no matter what you do.

What makes this behavior so weird is that Carenado is apparently pulling the path for FSX's location out of the registry, but then stripping the drive letter that's already there and adding a "C:" to the beginning of the path. Why they would do something so convoluted, when all it can do is mess things up, is a complete mystery to me, but I checked everything (including every registry mention of FSX's path) and it seems that's what's going on. It's fine, of course, if you keep your Steam install on C:, but I'm running a relatively small SSD as my boot drive, and elected to devote a separate 3TB mechanical drive to Steam, and Carenado's installers don't deal with it at all well.

Just bought the Tomahawk (Alabeo I know, but kind of Carenado also) and it installed great in FSX steam edition. It can be tricky if you have a twin install of FSX. I deleted my disked FSX edition as I stopped using it when the steam edition with the optimisations proved much better.
