    Hi, I have uninstalled FSX some time back and am running P3Dv4. SODE seems to be active in the P3Dv4 Addons so presume it is ok. When I went to update SODE in the ORBX Central application I got a SODE Error showing FSX as Unregistered and that it could not find FSX.CFG (Main) and (Common). No doubt because FSX has gone and the drive is in use for another application altogether. How do I tell SODE that FSX is no longer on my system?

    Regards

    Hi Bernie,

    Sorry for the delay.

    It is perfectly possible that the FSX uninstall still has left some entries in the Windows registry active. Those entries are used by SODE to determine if a sim is installed on the machine.

    You could check the PLTMGR_DETECTION.log file located at C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\log. It will tell you the registry keys in question for FSX. Usually it’s SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 -> “SetupPath”

    If you delete this key, SODE won’t assume FSX to be installed anymore.
