MdMax Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi Herb !I had the same problem with 64 bit Ubuntu Linux 9.04. I thought it was because of my french AZERTY keyboard, so I just changed the key assignements.Happy flying. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesomir Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have win7 x64 and don't have the issue, so it must be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBalsa Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Herbumus,I have the same problem in Windows 7 X64 Ultimate.Run a windows 7 search of the entire system. I found out that X-Plane seemed to be storing pictures somewhere unusual on the harddrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesomir Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ah - do you have x-p[lane installed in the program files area? Mine is installed outside of this so no uac problems.Running as adin might fix, or moving the x-plane folder outside of the program files path.

Cameron Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ah - do you have x-p[lane installed in the program files area? Mine is installed outside of this so no uac problems.This was going to be my question as well. UAC issues in the program files folder. Ben Supnik has said many a time it's not suggested to install X-Plane in the program files folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBalsa Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Aah. I see. Well I can deal with it. I wish the developers could fix this.To be told by the manufacturer NOT to install your program in the program files folder is just a little silly in my opinion.-Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The updater doesn't either. I actually prefer it the way it is, as it's very easy to trash X-Plane and know you've truly trashed it if you want a fresh install.

Kesomir Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 also the fact that you can pick up an install folder, move it to another machine and run the exe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
