The Migration tool which copies the necessary files from FS2002 to FS2004 will eliminate this problem.  However, you must launch the T-37 from the desktop icon for FS2004 in order to have this message suppressed.

Otherwise,  The easiest solution is to click on Yes, but if you want to eliminate the prompt altogether, please perform the following procedure.

  1. Open your FS9.cfg file.   Open this file using Notepad, or some other text editor.  Most of the time, you can just double click on it.
    • Note:  In Window2000 and Windows XP, FS9.CFG is located in
      C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9
    • In Windows 9x and Windows ME, FS9.CFG is located in \Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9
  2. Go to the very bottom of the contents of the list and append the following lines :

    [OLDMODULES]
    SimSound.dll=1

 
How do I backup my purchased software to a CD?
Using the CD Writer program of your choice, simply be sure to keep archive copies of these two files:
  • your .KEY file issued when you purchased the T-37
  • the T-37B Installer.exe program

How do I install the T-37 on non-Internet enabled computer?
Please refer to the instructions in the Instruction Manual.
 
How do I run the T-37 on FS2002 and FS2004 on the same computer?
Please launch the configuration manager from the T-37 program group under the Start Menu.
 
I need to re-install the software because I formatted my hard drive.  How do I re-install without having to pay for the program again?
First, find your .KEY file and the T-37B Installer.exe file.  You should have backed it up onto a CD (or something) as described above.  If you didn't, you can email support@t37sim.com and ask for your KEY file again.  Please provide your complete name.  You will be emailed your key shortly thereafter.  Then, you can re-download the program off this website.

Launch the installer the same as before, except this time choose the "Re-Install" option.  It will ask you for your KEY file.  You will also need to verify your credentials by supplying the last 4 digits of the credit card you used to purchase the software (you will not be re-billed).  From then on, the installation will proceed normally.
