Help ! Spent $$ nothing works

[Skuzzy]

The default desktop ICON was changed back to the DX9 version until we get the DX11 version more stable.

Damn, getting discouraged maybe I should just quit trying to play this sim.

Got the 11 version shortcut, and it actually started then immediately froze up.  Next, I'm getting a nag screen saying it's missing "fmodstudio.dll" .  Tried reinstalling but no luck.  Should I just quit? Despite AH3 being the newest version it just doesn't seem to be able to run with the latest gear.....

[Chalenge]

Oh, it works with the latest gear alright.

*help*

So do I need to find, download, and somehow install fmodstudio.dll, whatever the heck that is?   

Just getting antsy to get in the air...

The missing file is part of the game download.

All you should have to do is install AH3, run the DX11 version, and click yes when it asks you if you want to use your Oculus.

You are making this much harder than you need to be making it on yourself.

Take a deep breath.

1)  Re-install the game over the top of your current installation and remove whatever desktop shortcut to the DX11 version you created.

2)  Try running the DX11 version right from the Windows Start->Programs->Aces High III->Aces High III DX11 menu option.

Now that you got it working, and it will, you can then try and carefully create a desktop shortcut.  Be careful and do not move the executable to the desktop.  You will get the error you are getting now with the DLL missing.

Expect to spend some time mapping your controllers, calibrating all the axis ( you can use the throttle friction lever on the right side of your throttle for RPM FYI), and then adjusting them so they work like you want.

Deep breath, and while I know you are ansy to play...gotta put the work in to get it going.   Glad skuzzy figured out you drug the .exe file out to desktop vs making a shortcut.

Good luck and if you have trouble with Warthog setup, I'll be glad to help.
