I have a few other flight sims , have been using flight sims since sub-logic version 2 in 1984 . since then I have used Ms 2004 then MS FSX, then X-plane 9 with uodates then X-Plane10 which is a wonder of a program. all use discs or DVD to download. I have never seen such a mes of a download that after a install and re install still doesnt work I was expecting great things but saw inferior product ... some online support or a phone support line would be nice to solve many problems of a complicated download and install process

I have tried uninstalling then installed for the fourth time I get all 3 files downloaded then unzip them 1 at a time as directed in a folder when I have extracted all three to that folder it all seems to be there but the Prepar3Dsetup is not an .exe file
. The icon is up but I go to :c/ program files(x86) lockheed /prepar3d again no .exe so I right click on it and no run as admin
or any way to "run " there. so I try right clicking prepar3d icon on d.top nothing . so I left click the icom and get ---------------------------
Prepar3D
---------------------------
Could not initialize application. Error 42.
Please try right-clicking and choosing "Run as administrator". If problem persists, please contact technical support.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
but right clicking dosent bring up ru as anything Im really getting frustrated by now what a piece of junk you have sold me I will never get to see how great the graphics and flight is because of a very un organized install method You guys should learn something in that line from the one that have been around foe ever Microsoft Fx and fs2004 and even x-plane 10 with 78 Gig of scenery has no issues with installing and look at the flight physics they speak for themself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ZC94HCtcg

Ray Im not here to make friends , I already have plenty thanks . Just here because this is where support is supposed to be for a $50 investment
X -Plane support in comparison will personally call people and walk them through any problems be either large or small. I guess I just chock up the 50 dollars as a loss and go back to x-plane and FSX but thanks anyway.I guess its to be expected in the minor league
