frontendrob Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) I have purchased Maxx FX, SkyMaxx V2 and V3, RWC and Sound Maxx. They were installed under OSX, but I have recently migrated my X-Plane Folder to Windows 10. Everything is running fine. However, I tried reinstalling Sound Maxx and found out the uninstaller doesn't work now and obviously the executables are still ".app" instead of ".exe". I figured I can't uninstall or update any of the plug-ins, which might give me a major headache once you guys push an update. Any idea how to deal with this? I could copy my X-Plane folder to a stick, run Mac OSX and uninstall all your apps there, then reinstall them under Windows. That would be quite a time consuming hassle though, and I'd like to avoid to touch anything because it's configured extensively. I mostly wonder how to deal with future updates.

sundog Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 We offer separate installers for Windows and MacOS. You'll have to go into your X-Aviation account and download the appropriate installers for your new operating system, and re-install. Thanks for being such a loyal customer, by the way!

frontendrob Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 The windows installer of SMP 3.2.2 crashes when trying to open the uninstaller (the OSX App) that resides in my X-Aviation folder. It doesn't bring a new Win installer (it will install it with the installation, not beforehand). What I am trying to say is the new installer for Windows fails to deinstall SMP which was installed on OSX and later migrated to Win. I went ahead and removed the X-Aviation folder (in which all the OSX uninstallers reside) and SMP 3.2.2 installed fine. Settings report 3.2.2 and it seems to run fine. Is there something I have to worry about after installing it over 3.2.1 or will I be fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontendrob Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks Cameron. I can't fail to notice that the "hacks" I posted, namely the removal of the fog-coloring of distant clouds and the deactivation of imposters seem to have made it into the new version . Or the installation left my settings file in place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, many of the settings in this file, changed or not, actually have zero effect in sim. In many cases you may just be fooling yourself. We had a guy on here at one time saying he changed various settings and things look so much better. Each one of the things he changed was never in use anyhow...
