PA 28R ARROW III for MSFS "Security Failure"
-
@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.

Here is my structure for reference.

@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).

I have the same problem and even the planes yoke is not coordinating with my joystick just lays on oneside to the left but won't move left or right. hope they can fix it as it is a great bit of work other than these bugs. I also am the only user on this pc and it has administrative rights. I am sure it will be sorted.
-
I am also the only user on the PC and have full admin rights.
I don't think it's the steam version either. I have the MS Store version.
it has something to do with that damn registration process.
then some admin writes here, this is not a support forum and refers to the support ..... but this does not even answer.
Super Service 🤔 -
@Steffen1030 I suppose they do their best as I nearly gave up on MSFS more than once. I do agree like you I am the only user for this pc and have MSFS on an M2 SSD apart from p3dv5 all on its lonesome. I have heard the SDK kit is very difficult to work with and it will take time. However it doesn't help us at the moment as was looking forward to a decent prop aircraft as the ones with MSFS aren't particularly good.
-
p.s. forgot to say I used the DVD set for MSFS which was pretty unhelpful as had to put in disk 1 all the time till I found a work round goodness only knows why that was.
-
I'm kinda out of options, you can search for userinfo.txt and see if your emailadress and serial is in there and copy that to the *\packages\justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii\work Folder
Maybe on install it unpacks the files to temp. If it does, copy that file.. Not sure that works.
-
@Cygnific the issue might be that the install is not creating a userinfo.txt file which holds the license data. It didn’t for me, nor could I find it anywhere. It might be worth trying if tech support could email the file with the correct license data to try.
-
Hi Thanks for the suggestion have requested as you said am dealing with Craig so guess he might see it anyway and take onboard. Many thanks Terry

@Cygnific @Gilandred I couldn't find the file "Userinfo.txt" anywhere, I assume that the support is doing its best, but it still leaves something to be desired, I get a single answer per day from my ticket with requests that I have to follow up on, what means they are working on it, i believe that a solution will soon come and that sneaking support has to do with the world situation and therefore they need more time, i'm still optimistic.
