Title: After installation, no landing gears visable...FIXED
Post by country4life on Sep 2nd, 2010 at 10:09pm
Hello Captain Sim Community,

   Thanks to all of you who have tried so hard to fix my landing gear issue...Well, 2 days and 6hrs later I am glad to say," Its Fixed"!!! Captain Sim tech still hasnt replied back to my trouble ticket either....but im pretty sure someone from there will reply now after reading this and after seeing that it is fixed....the steps I took to get it working correctly are listed below (please note: this may or may not work for you)....

1). I uninstalled Captain Sim 707-300 from this path: Start/Control Panel/Programs and Features.
2). Went into the registry to completely remove any leftover entries.
3).Used Ccleaner to scan system for any old files or folders( Ccleaner is freeware, just google it).
4).IMPORTANT: I then redownloaded the 707.exe file from Captain Sim( think I may have had a bad download at first).
5). Restarted my computer.
6).Launched the .exe file I downloaded earlier, but this time before downloading, I right clicked the file and clicked,"Run as Administrator".
7). Installed it and what do you know.. :)

Also, Im not sure if "Running as Administrator" was the key to it installing correctly or redownloading the ".exe" file again was the fix, but im just glad its all working now.....Also, if you plan on going into the registry like I did, PLEASE ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Log into your profile with Captain Sim and type in this KB number for details on how to remove it from your registry: the KB number is 685

Special thanks to: Markoz, Jcmic,Tim Capps, and Captain Sim 2 for all their efforts......Happy flights :)
