DEMO to License

Question

Hello.

I have installed the DEMO, tried it and decided to buy the license. Then i've used the code i got to upgrade from DEMO to FULL version, however it still has KSEA Demo in custom scenery and if i delete it, sim updater downloads it again. Is it how its supposed to be, or am i still on DEMO version despite using the key to unlock the FULL version?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I see the same (on the Steam edition) and it's fine. The thing to check if you're not sure would be the scenery_packs.ini file in Custom Scenery. Just make sure that the line for KSEA Demo Area is lower (further down the file) than the line for Global Airports or any other custom scenery you install for that area. For each area, the applicable scenery highest up that file will be used*. I have actually seen scenery for completely different airports reference objects from the KSEA Demo Area since everyone has it, so best leave it in place.

 

* slight simplification; you want all your airports above all your meshes for example; google scenery_packs.ini for more advice here

Answer 2

The KSEA area is in Custom Scenery because the demo doesn't have global scenery. :)

As long as you have other world scenery available and you don't see the timeout after 15 minutes, you are not running in demo mode.
