	Yours is a unique situation. I have not seen anyone else not being able to fix it. You could try ADDING the info manually into the registry, that might help. Mark

	I can think of a couple of ways, but I think this could be the best way: Run regedit. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CaptainSim\C130XPRO BACK IT UP! Do this by right mouse click on the C130XPRO folder and then select Export from the list. Save it to your desktop and give it a name that you will know what it is and is for! Now follow the instructions in these images: Once done, you can exit regedit. Hope this helps. Mark

	well......something sure has worked....got the c-130 cfg editor on screen.....i select fleet and select variation comes up....i select that, and D:\fsx\Captain_Sim\130\variants\ pops up....after that nothing else seems to function, or i don't know how to add variants.....?...not back to square one, but doesn't seem too far from it � there are three headings--- fleet preflight and tools...but...these headings are overlapped with the same headings in grey and not in the same location...and it's the grey ones that respond to a limited degree....whew! �too bad the people who designed the product couln't pipe in...

	A mystery. Uninstall it, again, go to the registry and remove the C130XPRO entry. Do another clean install that requires Activation (you might have exceeded the Activations, submit a support ticket to get it reset if it has). With ACE. I think you have been doing it wrong. Here is a tutorial on how to add a new livery using ACE: 1) Once the ACE opens, select FLEET 2) It should already be on the ADD NEW page. 3) Click on the Select Variation button. 4) A new pain opens 5) Highlight the livery you want to add - place all the texture files (dds and/or bmp), the livery.cfg and the thumbnail in it's own folder* inside the FSX\Captain_Sim\130\variants folder* 6) Click on OK 7) A thumbnail is displayed (if there was one in the the folder) and you now click on the Add Variation button 8) A new box pops up informing you that the new variant (livery) will be added. Click OK or Cancel to continue 9) In the Description you now see that there is confirmation that the livery was added. The C130 ACE adds the new variation as Lockheed Martin. The default C130's are Lockheed. You can change it in the aircraft.cfg for that particular model. I hope they fix it in a patch (I might have to add it to the It would be nice if... forum ). Hope this helps. Mark

	wow..you're still here....i kept installing the c130 which i had already downloaded and it didn't work in ace, those grey areas ..preflight - tools, were off to the right, not where they were supposed to be, so there was no chance of using it the right way, cause it wasn't functioning..in other words, when i added flt to registration, it didn't quite work....not sure if i'm clear enough in describing this...thanks, vic i don't know how to upload images to forum or i would show you what my ace looks like...hmm that doesn't sound right hey wait a minute! instead of opening the c130 i already had in my computer, i re-downloaded a new one, and voila, it's working now i didn't know it had to be downloaded fresh each time...wow....thank you for that much! but still no flt in reg..and in ace, the titles are off center and still incorrect path, so i can't follow your latest advise.....but at least i got the plane back and that's great! do you still think ace can be repaired?....

	i don't know how to upload images to forum or i would show you what my ace looks like...hmm that doesn't sound right There are two ways to put a picture in the forum. The first way is to browse to a file on your computer and upload it to the Captain Sim server (click the BROWSE just below the "smilies" on the POST REPLY page). The image can't be larger than 200KB (KiloBytes). The second way is to go to imageshack or photobucket or a similar site that allows you to upload and store images. Once it is uploaded there you add it like this: Code [img]http://www.captainsim.com/img/news/731_preview4.jpg[/img] and the result will look like this: hey wait a minute! instead of opening the c130 i already had in my computer, i re-downloaded a new one, and voila, it's working now i didn't know it had to be downloaded fresh each time You don't. I have installed my C130 X-perience many time. I have only ever downloaded it once. Mark

	ok it works ...picture didn't show on "preview" so i thought it didn't work.... so here you can see my, not so well, ace config...you can see the missplaced grey sections ...because browse didn't work, i had to write in the path by hand.....which still didn't work...and when i open ace again, still says path is incorrect, and the path i entered disappears.....boy you've got patience! .... when my c130 stopped working i tried to re-load it 3 times....only when i re-downloaded it, it worked ....strange.......

	ok it works ...picture didn't show on "preview" so i thought it didn't work.... You can't preview a picture if you want to upload it. If you preview you post/reply, then you will have to browse for the image again. I have posted several replies and forgot to browse for the image I want them to see. I prefer storing them on photobucket. boy you've got patience! I'm just trying to help you to get it working like it should. What screen resolution do you use, maybe that's why they are not aligned? Maybe the correct path really is there, but you can't see it because of the misalignment? Mark
