Install .dat problem

Post by ampharoah » Sun Feb 25, 2018 7:30 am

Hello,

I am getting an error message that says:

Data File missing, please ensure you also downloaded FlyTampa_Boston_Rebooted.dat

I have downloaded all three files after purchase and also downloaded from the link in this Forum "Dat File Download here"

Still gives me the error message?

Thanks in anticipation

Andrew

Did you run the installer exe with the dat in the same folder?

The dat hasn't been renamed by the browser? Maybe (1) on the end of the file name?
Run as administrator may help.

File is called FlyTampa_Boston_Rebooted.7z and is in the same folder as FlyTampa_Boston_Rebooted_40_P3D.exe

When Un zipped to the same folder with WinZip it only adds:

Boston_Photo.bgl
Boston_Photo_lm.bgl

to the folder.

So the folder contains:
FlyTampa_Boston_Rebooted_40_P3D.exe
FlyTampa_Boston_Rebooted.7z (Zipped download)
Boston_Photo.bgl
Boston_Photo_lm.bgl

Renamed download from .7z to .dat and now it appears to be working.
