How to get downloads of aircraft already purchased and installed. Installed Condor2 to a different drive, original drive corrupt. How to recover additional aircraft purchased that I have the KEY.

They are not listed in the pull down menu, so I cannot activate what is not listed.

Are the planes listed in Condor2\Planes? If not, install new and maybe the hangar update

Thanks everyone.

Using Condor Updater it was telling me I had the latest Condor2 Version and Hanger 23 update.
I manually downloaded Hangar 23 and installed, now all of the aircraft are listed in the files directory.

But a new twist emerged. I try to enter "FreeFlight" in Condor2 and get this error code.
I attempted to reload Condor2 again but the code persists.

I uninstalled Condor Updater and downloaded the latest updater version and reinstalled.
I get the report that I have Condor Ver 218, Hanger 23 and updater version 2.0.7834

Somehow I think I really do not have the latest version of Condor 2. I think updater is grabbing the last information from somewhere on the computer even though I uninstalled the original.

I am installing from USB purchased a few years ago. During the install it does not seem to go online to look for the latest version and it does not ask me for the activation key. It must be finding the key somewhere in the system.

Is it possible to download the latest version to install and then activate it with the key I have without going through a whole new purchase?

Thanks
Bill

Yes look here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=20286

When you log in you can download the full installer of the latest version.

Condor Updater grabs the version information from your registery which apparently doesn't get removed when you uninstall.

That did not work, I did not purchase through Condor. I purchased through a US distributor. The "Purchases" records on Condor web show I have not bought anything.

Then:

- install from your USB stick
- download and install patch 2.1.8 from here: https://www.condorsoaring.com/downloads-2/
- download and install Hangar Update 23 also found here:
https://www.condorsoaring.com/downloads-2/

If you do it in that order everything should work.

wickid... thanks!
I got that same information from where I bought the original Condor.
Yes it did work.

Or so it seems, no more error messages and all purchased aircraft are activated.
I think part of the problem was that Key's and versions were saved in the Window's Registry. So when loading an older version of Condor, the Key automatically activated the product. But the real issue seems to be that Condor Updater also used that data in the Registry and thought Condor was fully updated to current version but it was not. CondorUpdater reported ver 218 and Hanger 23, but I knew Hangar 23 was not installed.

Thanks again!
Bill
