Congrats! Glad you got it going!
Having AICarriers under the P3D folder may be a quirk of P3D3.1, since I have my AICarriers no where near my FSX-SE folder, and it works fine in the EXE.XML file. From what I can tell, your pathing was correct, at least from what you showed as to where it was located, but again, maybe a quirk peculiar to P3DV3.
A way to test it is to put vLSO (presuming you have it) outside of the P3D folder someplace, like maybe your Utils folder or on your C:\ drive or whatever, and see if the EXE.XML will load it up. If it won't, but does if you move it the P3D folder, you will have a certainty about it. You will know for sure it just a P3dv3 quirk.
Make certain you have admin rights to the folder it's in too, like your Utils or wherever. That may have, in some odd way, have been you problem.
I'm just grasping at straws, though.
Glad you got it going, anyway :D

I'm unable to get AICarriers to start with P3Dv3.2. It (AICarriers) will start and operate/function correctly by clicking on it's .exe after minimizing P3D. It will then shutdown correctly after exiting P3D. The following is my line within the exe.xml. Anyone got any idea/s?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>AICarriers</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>D:\Prepar3D v3\AICarriers\AICarriers.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>
PhantomTweak:
All *I* can see as a possibility is that maybe the path to the AICarriers.exe file is mistyped/typo'd somehow?
Everything else looks right to me, for whatevre good that is. IE: it looks the same as mine (other than the path, obviously), and mine works correctly. In FSX-SE, but I believe the exe.xml is pretty much the same...
I would double check the path, if it were me. I always take and cut-n-paste the path right off the screen, rather than try to type it in, given my...ahem...capabilities as a typist.

I don't have Prepar3D v3 and thus haven't been able to test it myself. You shouldn't need to install any legacy SimConnect libraries as AI Carriers .NET makes use of Tim Gregson's managed SimConnect library. As long as Prepar3D v3 sets the registry key for the SimConnect ports for previous versions of the simulator (and previous versions of P3D have done this), I don't see why it shouldn't work. I've heard reports of FS Active Fires (another utility I've made) working with Prepar3D v3, so I suspect AI Carriers .NET should work as well.

Does anyone know what the line
<NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
Means in the EXE.xml file? The example exe.xml file (sample_exe.xml) provided with the latest AICarriers .NET release I just downloaded contains that line in the AICarriers section. I just want to be certain I have the right setting in it, or if I should delete the line, comment it out, whatever.
My thanks in advance for any advice on this.

I'm not sure where you downloaded, as AI Carriers .NET hasn't been changed since the initial release on December 25, 2014, and the initial release doesn't contain that line in the sample exe.xml file. The only place I've uploaded it to is GitHub (https://github.com/ollyau/AICarriers/releases). Any other download should be at your own discretion; I can't vouch for the validity or integrity of the package if you've obtained it from other sources.
That said, I suspect that entry in the exe.xml file would create a new console (i.e. command line) window for whatever entry you add it to, provided it's set to true.

72Westy,
I may be telling you what you already know but I am in the process of moving to P3D v3.3 on a Win 10 PC. One of the programs I am moving from FSX is AICarriers.
After much trial and many errors I have used the following approach.
1. Create a folder AICarriers In the P3D v3 directory.
2. Copy Conf.d , AICarriers.CFG and AiCarriers.EXE into it.
3. Copy the file Sample_EXE.XML into the AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v3 folder
4. Open the XML file (I use Notepad++, it is very easy to use)
5. Click on the Sample_EXE.XML file; in the address bar this will show the file's path as C>ProgramFiles(x86)>.....>AICarriers>AICarriers.exe
6. Click on the address, you will see the file's a address change to C:\Program Files(x86)\.....\AICarriers\AICarriers.exe
7. You can copy this and paste it into the .XML file (after removing the existing text)
8. Save
The advantage of is method is that the path and file name is created by the PC so all the ":" and spaces etc. are correct and there is no confusion over "l" and "1" etc.
Good luck,
Tregarth
