vh Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 I'm not too happy about the files added to the top level of my X-Plane folder: folders "JRollonPlanes," "Uninstall CRJ-200" and probably "imageformats." Seems to me that some of these folders are better installed in either the aircraft's folder itself or in Resources or Output.Since I keep a rolling number of X-Plane installations (currently the CRJ resides in 9.62 but I also fly 9.61rc2 and 9.69), how easy is it to move the CRJ from one version to another? I normally move the scenery and aircraft folders in and out of the three versions I keep when I want to switch but it seems this aircraft adds a complication to that method.Congrats to Javier on the release of this baby. I launched it immediately and did a pattern in weather without reading the manual or fiddling with any knobs - and completed it successfully - although I had some minor problems trying to manipulate both throttles (I could only get one or the other to move). It'll be a long time before I wring the neck out of this aircraft's systems but I'm gratified that the installation, activation and launch worked flawlessly.First impressions were good although I found the black post unattractive and the normal maps and wing-flex a bit exaggerated. Nevertheless, it's a work of art. I hope there's an option to disable 2D view too.
Cameron Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Your best bet in this instance is to use the uninstaller and then re-install to your new version.For what it's worth: I intentionally made the installer and uninstaller NOT make any registry changes on computers. As such, you could technically have multiple installs of the CRJ in different X-Plane version folders, and each uninstaller will know/remember which install it is related to!Hope this helps!
philipp Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Please, follow Camerons advice by all means and use the installer (of course the new patched one, in case you haven't already).If you copy things around by hand you will certainly break something, as the CRJ relies on all components to be in the right place to function correctly.Philipp
vh Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 Okay, thanks for the advice. Kindly bear in mind that those who tend to get X-Plane betas early keep more than one X-Plane installation for obvious reasons: the last stable big-decimal version and a rolling double, the earlier of which gets replaced on the next beta if the latter one isn't a dog. When X-Plane 10 is out the pace of change and beta fixes is bound to be feverish. You might see multiple installs as this can't be hand-dragged to other versions.(And by the way, everything is also backed up to another drive.)
