Unable to update AIRAC

Navigation Data General MSFS Data
1

Hello, after being away from the sim for a long time I activatid my N. account anew, so far so good. But…something doesn’t work and I am not good at solving those kind of problems (age:74☺)
“charts” is working OK, but I am unaible to update Xplane 11 to the latest airac via the FMS Data Manager.
The first 2 items are updated and changed to green (Pilot2ATC and Sim Toolkit Pro). But the others always stay “Ready to update”.
I have removed the FMS data Manager and Simlink from my system and re-downloaded and reïnstelled them but to no avail. I haven’t got a clue what is wrong. I installed the FMS D. and Simlonk on another drive than Xplane. Could that be the culprit?

Previous instalations (months ago) always worked well.
Please help, thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Eddy

Hi Ian,
thanks for replying so quickly. Problem solved ! This is what happend: Earlier this year I bought a second (legal) copy of x-plane because I had some troubles with my original one. I installed this 2nd copy on an external SSD. But, of course, when updating to the new Airac I must change the path of the xPlane copy that I want to update. The xPlane path was still set on the 2nd copy on the external drive so all I had to do was, indeed, change the path of xPlane to the copy on my internal drive of my PC.
A big thanks again…ready for take off :smiling_face:
Best regards, Eddy (alias FLYING TIGER)

PS: learning something new on my age is one thing,…remembering is is another :smiling_face::smiling_face::smiling_face:
