Hi. I did try google and searching here, sorry if I missed it.
I have Flight Sim World and yesterday I bought the PA28 Arrow iii from Steam. Great looking aircraft. I run Steam and FSW as a regular user (non-admin) and that seems to work fine usually. However, when I ran FSW after installing the Arrow iii, it asked for the password for my admin user and I entered it. When I get into the cockpit the red writing by the blue arrow in the corner of the screen says 'Initializing' and then 'CFG file missing. Please reinstall product or contact support.' I tried validating the files in Steam but still the same result. I see that the cfg file looks to be in C:\Users\<myadminuser>\AppData\Roaming\JustFlight\JF_PA28_Arrow\FSW\ I could try copying the AppData\Roaming\JustFlight\ folder over but presumably it needs to be able to update it and I don't want to run as admin. What will I lose without the cfg file? Does it just handle persistence of the aircraft? Is there an easy workaround that doesn't involve running as admin? Thanks very much. |

Ah okay, I tried copying the JustFlight folder over to my regular user and I didn't get the error any more.
And the .cfg and .save files were updated when I exited. |

Hi. Is this something that'll get looked at? Perhaps add a couple of lines to check whether the files exist for the user in \AppData\Roaming\JustFlight and if not to add them?
Similarly, if a setting isn't in the file already then add it. Copying the files between folders is a workaround but if any updates are made to the files by a future update to the product then my user's version of the product won't see them. Thanks again.
