Installing the G2 Upgrade disk over RealFlight Classic/Deluxe

Applies To

RealFlight G2 Upgrade (2.00.219 CD)
RealFlight Classic
RealFlight Deluxe

Resolution

Occasionally users may experience difficulties when attempting to upgrade from RealFlight or RealFlight Deluxe. This situation generally occurs when:

• RealFlight Classic/Deluxe has been updated via the Internet

• Add-Ons 3 has been installed previously

To resolve these difficulties:

1. Uninstall the RealFlight software completely. If you have already attempted to install the Generation 2 Upgrade disk, use the RealFlight Control Panel. Click the Start menu, select Program Files/RealFlight/ RealFlight Control Panel. Select the Uninstall RealFlight button. Click each of the boxes to ensure that ALL RealFlight files are removed from your PC. Click OK to remove the software accordingly. Additionally, we suggest that you check to make sure that the c:\program files\realflight directory is completely gone. If not, delete it manually.

2. Reinstall the original RealFlight software. Do NOT run the program after installing. Note: If you are installing the software on a PC with Windows 2000, you will need the Install Fix. The installation fix is NOT needed for computers that use Windows XP.

3. Remove the original RealFlight CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and insert the G2 Upgrade CD-ROM in its place.

4. If applicable, reinstall any Add-Ons disks that you might have.

5. Upon completing the installation of your software run the RealFlight G2 simulation.
