Carrier Ops

[Steve32]

Earlier this year I contacted Abacus after installing FS2002 & carrier ops on my new computer. They advised me to contact you to obtain the latest version. I am not very computer literate but have downloaded version 3.70 which has shown up in the carrier ops box. I read that a key will be sent to me via e-mail but have not received anything. Do I need to do more - my carrier ops worked OK after installation on my ORIGINAL computer - why not on my new one???

The "latest version" of "carrier ops"? Sorry, that is nothing to do with me, I have never even seen it. If you really mean FSUIPC (and if so you should say), then they certainly should not have done that, but merely pointed you to http://www.schiratti.com/dowson where you can download it.

Just because you installed FS2002 and crarrier ops on a new computer certainly doesn't mean you need a new version of FSUIPC -- you'd be better off using the one you were using on your old computer. If the carrier ops package was never ported to FS2004 then it may not have an access key for FSUIPC versions 3.xxx, which means you would have to purchase a user key.

I am not very computer literate but have downloaded version 3.70 which has shown up in the carrier ops box. I read that a key will be sent to me via e-mail but have not received anything.

Ah, so you ARE talking about FSUIPC? You have not actually mentioned what it is you are talking about anywhere in your message at all, do you realise that? It would help if you did, you know!

Where did you read that a Key would be sent to you? Have you been to SimMarket and purchased one?

Do I need to do more - my carrier ops worked OK after installation on my ORIGINAL computer - why not on my new one???

I've no idea -- probably because you didn't install it correctly. If you were using an unregistered version of FSUIPC, or version 2.xxx on your old computer, then the same would work on the new. It is not PC dependent. It all sounds like a botched install to me!
