PA 28R ARROW III for MSFS "Security Failure"
-
Well, at least your battery is charged and showing 12 volts!
Count yourself lucky! Mine is showing 0 volts and I'm unable to even do a cold start! Pressing the Recharge Battery button does absolutely nothing! LOL -
bought this yesterday with my msfs version, i got this message when I rename the folder "justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii" inside community folder. after I change it back it works.

You have Steam and MS store version installed? If so, then copy userinfo.txt from:
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii\work to

AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii\work@Cygnific I found this post to and tried to fix the error with it, unfortunately there is no Userinfo.txt in
AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft Flight Simulator \ Packages \ justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii \ work
and
AppData \ Local \ Packages \ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe \ LocalState \ packages \ justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii \ work
does not exist at all. And yes, I chose the right User. Unfortunately, I have still not found a solution, since my purchase I opened a ticket, but unfortunately I still have no reaction from support.
If they offer me a solution that works, I'll post it here to help you all too, if not, I'll just request a refund, although I don't want that because the PA28R is really in good shape, it just has to work: - ) -

edit:
I tried several new installations, there was never a message that the process was finished. Registration was only requested during the first installation.
it is the first time that i have such problems when installing an addon, otherwise it always affects the others -

@Thrunkx @Steffen1030 Any change if you run the installer with Administrator? It should get the install path from UserCfg.opt (A problem when you have two versions installed and it only reads one)
@Cygnific No, no change, still can't use the PA-28R, I've tried everything I knew, but unfortunately without success.
I started the installation as admin from the beginning and even later I gave myself super admin rights to make sure that it wasn't because of that, but as I said, unfortunately no result.
Then I did a readout and sent the support but unfortunately I haven't gotten any reaction from them so far, I'm slowly losing interest in the plane and I'm starting to think about asking for the money back.
I have been waiting for a solution since Saturday and have not been able to test the aircraft until now.

You have some weird folder structure. N:\Packages Have you tried to rename it N:\Microsoft Flight Simulator? Dont forget to change to the same foldername in UserCfg.opt
-
@Cygnific yes I tried that too, because MSFS is already 617GB with me, I created a new livery on Steam only for MSFS that is used on an external SSD hard drive. the structure you see there is what Steam created when I installed MSFS on steam.
-
@Thrunkx So N:\Packages\Official\Steam is where all your MSFS data is stored now, and N:\Packages\Community is where the community add-ons are stored?

@Cygnific Actually that’s a common structure if you install the Steam version of MSFS to another harddrive. The “official” and “community” folders will install to the other harddrive, while the MSFS executable and other folders will install to steamapps/common/microsoftflightsimulator. This is similar to what I have, and I suspect Justflight’s installation or license check does not account for this somehow.

@Gilandred yes that's exactly what I think

@Gilandred Yes I know, was just wandering why it would be called Packages instead of something like Microsoft Flight Simulator.

@Cygnific During the installation process MSFS will let you install it to a folder of your choosing so your able to name it whatever you want. Looks like this might be the common issue for installation issues, but is not terribly widespread as I suspect most people use only one drive.

@Gilandred I doubt, the folder is written correctly in UserCfg.opt and that is checked by the installer. My problem was that it only read the AppData\Local folder and forgot the AppData\Roaming where I have another install for Steam.. (I have Store and Steam versions installed).
You can check that by making a folder in Appdata\Local
