I would just open a helpdesk ticket but I noticed something weird yesterday.
Ok.. so I just installed VISTA 64 (all patches downloaded and installed BTW) bit on my new gaming rig. Here is the timeline of what I did.
First I got all my non FS apps installed.
Then I installed my Saitek Yoke and verified the CH pedals were installed.
Then.. i installed FSX again.. 9had to call MS to get the 50 digit activation code because I reinstalled FSX more than I guess 5 times and they expired my serial number.. AWesome DRM For the win (FTW)
then I installed FS 2004
ran the FS2004 update to 9.1
then I ran the DVA online kit with SB3
then i installed ACARS 2.1 default options.
I reinstalled my PMDG 737 (that was all I needed so far)
load activesky 6.5
I installed a freeware JFK that i like
I installed a freeware CLE that I like
went into FS added into scenery.
then I went into FS2004 and deleted all my default key maps for 2004
calibrated all my button maps (after clearing all the other ones.)
loaded up and flew jfk to CLE with ACARS
landed at CLE and I had the new CLE scenery. When I left JFK i had my new scenery there too.
new machine 30 frames with Zero lag... realistic looking runway.. the CLE scenery was AWESOME.. like being there.. the AC looked awesome.. so I totally KNOW I wasnt dreaming when I saw my add on scenery for CLE when I landed.
When I land i always save my position and save that as a profile called start and that is the one I start up the sim from. i am always realistic about that. I fly from where i was last.. get in he same area.. and go. r
ok.. so I for whatever reason disabled the Vista UAC so that I dont get prompts asking me to confirm that which I just told it to do. UAC bores me..
whatever.. so I shut the machine off for the night.
next morning.. I get on the machine fire up flight sim.. load up my start profile in fs2004..
and weirdness..
I am seeing the default fs2004 scenery?!!>!>!>!>!>!>
I end flight check my settings folder.. the 2 additional airports are gone off the list
WEIRD
i check my mappings for Keyboard and joystick settings (flipping out because that took a LONG time to do and was a PAIN)
they are still there.. hmmmmmm
weird the scenery went away. but.. everything else looked fine..
so i am all ready.. i fire up acars.. load a fp.. type everything in.. fill the tanks with ACARS.
click start..
and BOOM error message.. Cant write to acars or something.. cant save data.. I copy the message to clipboard.. .. something weird about D:\acars whatever.. which i have acars on drive C.. something in line 73 or something.
thinking it is just some FS acars disconnection weirdness.. i close FS i close ACARS.. and fire it back up..
the scenery is there.. but acars.. still doesnt want to write to ACARS.. or whatever.
so.. I run the install again of acars..
same thing..
So.. any thoughts?
like I said i would open a helpdesk ticket or whatever I just think the scenery thing is relevant to it.. as such maybe it woudl be better to get this to a larger audience.. ala this forum..
ACARS wont work.. i am at work dreaming about flying tonight with yall on my DREAMY new rig and CANT.. so.. HELP?!?!!?
Ill make a HD ticket and reference this..

Try turning UAC back on. Was it on when you installed everything?
Cheers!
