macelena Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I´ve been trying to get the game to work on my new laptop, but i´m having issues with DLCs not finding the proper folder even if i browse them while on install and i keep having isues with key mapping (more precisely, it does recognize the proper keys, but somehow refuses to shoot, either with joystick or keyboard buttons assigned). I don´t know how much of it is related to it being windows 8, any clue on that? I´ve been searching but i find nothing quite like that particular issue in the forums Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Win 8 or 8.1? And do you have the time to get tge Win Tech Preview? Quote
+Wrench Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 did you download and/or install an AircraftObject ini? sometimes they also mess with the controls. DLCs should install right the to 'core files', as they add to the CATs, and create their own sub-folder for themselves. After that, each game will need to be run, so they install to each mods folder. At least, in Winge7, that's how it work. Hopefully, Winge8 hasn't changed things!! Quote
macelena Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Well, most of time DLCs installing are interrupted by a message claiming that Strike fighters 2 could not be found in the folder and suggested me to use the browse function..., however DLC23, the F-4N, installed without issue, only that it doesn´t appear in the aircraft selection menu. I haven't installed any aircraft object ini, it is all vanilla except for trying to get some DLCs working. Quote
+MigBuster Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Where did you install it? Any change if you run the game as admin (right click on the icon) Real shame I missed win 8 1 Quote
macelena Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Nope, I guess i'll go back to square one and do everything again to see how can i get it to work Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 skip this Win 8 tomfoolery and sign up for the Insider Program/ Tech Preview. if you don't go that route you should be able to upgrade anyhow next month Quote
macelena Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Will do about Win10, so far i´ve been able to install F-4N and fly it, and the issue with the buttons was solved with some ini fiddling...slowly back to work Quote
