IronCroptop Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Good morning. I downloaded the SR-22 G1000 Beta for X-Plane 12 from my X-Aviation account last night and attempted to install it. My first attempt failed after the installer had downloaded the core files and was attempting to unzip the package. It reported that the destination folder (in my case "D:/Gaming/X-Plane 12/Aircraft/X-Aviation") didn't exist or was not writable. The Airplane directory in my X-Plane 12 has correct permissions (and other aircraft have installed without issue). So I manually created the "X-Aviation" directory and tried again. This time, the installer was able to finish the install. So I fired up X-Plane and attempted to finish activating the aircraft so I could take it for a short test flight. When I load the SR22 I get two errors. One reporting a missing file (".../TorqueSim SR22TN/objects/EFFECTS/SR22_IVS_IN.obj") and one reporting an issue with the sound bank (".../TorqueSim SR22TN/fmod/SR22TN.snd sim/flightmodel/failures/prop_ice"). Soldiering on, I dismissed these errors and attempted to activate my license but was met with the final error (which I concede is a Gizmo error): In case the red text gets munged by the jpg compression, it reads: "251 .580 http API call_back: function handle:: 6: [string "core/utils_api.lua.gfys"]:113: stat(x) failed: (D:/Gaming/X-Plane 12/X-Aviation)" I've tried deleting the install and re-installing to no avail. Any suggestions on additional steps to try would be appreciated. Edited September 18, 2022 by IronCroptop 1 Quote

Any suggestions on additional steps to try would be appreciated. I think @Pils advice should get it sorted for activation. The FMOD warnings are known (we haven't done the FMOD XP12 upgrade process yet). Regarding the object missing, if it persists after activation, please file that bug. https://torques.im/bugs Quote
IronCroptop Posted September 18, 2022 Author Report Posted September 18, 2022 Thank you both. I was able to get the activation error cleared up by following @Pils advice. I've also joined the Discord so that I can keep on top of further beta announcements. Thank you for the help. 1 Quote
Cameron Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 A note to people here: Do NOT drag files from X-Plane 11 to 12. Always do a fresh install from your installer if you want future updates to go correctly. This is a classic case of not using the installer to place the product in v12. 1 Quote

I did NOT drag _anything_ from my X-Plane 11 install. I downloaded the Beta release and (attempted) to install it into my X-Plane 12 folder. I'll cop to not having seen the "known issues" list on the Discord post (since I wasn't on Discord) but I refuse to be made an example of for something that I absolutely *didn't* do. Quote

Cameron Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 @IronCroptop, The beta falls into the same equivalency to dragging files rather than having a full install from retail, hence the errors. It is intended to supplement a full retail install. My post stands. This is a public service announcement, not some weird thing to make an example out of you. Please lower the temper a few degrees.

IronCroptop Posted September 19, 2022 Author Report Posted September 19, 2022 Message received. I won't be making the mistake of trying to install future versions. Thank you for the lessons. Quote
Pippolegend Posted February 9, 2023 Report Posted February 9, 2023 Hello, I’m having the same issue. After a first beta install correctly completed and activated, I have reinstalled windows and xplane12 but now I can’t activate my beta sr22 g1000. Please help, thanks Quote

Thank you, Ben! I’ve not copied any folder, I’ve used the installer but I’ve not created the X-Aviation folder! have a nice day! Quote
Ben Russell Posted February 9, 2023 Report Posted February 9, 2023 The installer would have created the X-Aviation folder. If it already exists you have a different issue. Quote
