	The location of the .FLT files on Windows 7 system should be C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME*\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files That's where I find mine and I'm using Win7 64bit too. Mark

	It sounds to me like the changes you are making in ACE and trying to save, are not being saved because you are not running the ACE program as an administrator. You must Right Mouse Click on the ACE and select "Run as administrator" from the list. That should then allow ACE save the changes you made. One other thing. I don't understand this: i find the three granby files. What are the granby files? Sorry to have to ask. Mark

	The only thing I can think of is to make sure that in the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CaptainSim\C130XPRO), that the entry for FLT files is pointing to the correct location (see attached image).

That really sounds to me like the online activation of the installer has failed. I suggest that you Check-in to Your Profile > Select product > Extended Download Service > Get New Links and download a new installer. Delete the entry in the Windows registry, then reinstall the C130. Hopefully the online activation will perform as it should this time. Mark

	this time capt sim disappeared from the registry If you removed the entry in the Windows registry before installing the C-130, you should be asked Activate it again when you reinstall it. Once you do that, it will add the info back into the Windows registry. Because of your problems, you should not be using restore to get them back. Re-activating the installer should get them back. still no flt files in the registry....at least i got my c-130 back.....any way to install flt files in registry You did a restore which gave you back what you had. Do not do a restore. Remove the C-130 entry from the registry, then when you reinstall the C-130, you will need to re-activate the installer which should put the C-130 back into the registry (as I said above). too bad capt sim has to make things so difficult It isn't difficult if you install it correctly. I have added quit a few addition liveries to my C-130 installation, with any problems. Your Captain Sim C-130 installation is faulty. Once you fix it up and everything is as it should be, the rest should be easy. For the FLT files: In the FSX\Captain_Sim\130\flights folder you will find three flights (.FLT) that need to be copied from there to your Documents\Flight Simulator X Files folder. Mark

	Do the following: 1) Uninstall the Captain Sim C-130 2) Remove the C130XPRO entry from the Windows registry 3) Reinstall the Captain Sim C-130 You must do step #2 before you do step #3. Do NOT do a restore on your computer, between step #2 and #3. The, when you reach #3, the installer should ask you to Activate Online because you have deleted the entry in the registry. If you don't remove the registry entry for the Captain Sim C-130, the installer believes it is already activated and won't ask you to activate it again. Hope this helps. Mark
