Addon Manager update broke the QualityWings 757

(1/3) > >>

The new addon manager breaks the QualityWings 757 and prevents the gauges from loading. There is a post in the QW forums about it and several people have the issue. Reverting to the old version fixes it. Using P3D v3.4.

Works fine here, see the screenshot of the QW757, parked at KCLT with P3D 3.4, and the latest Addon Manager, which of course is the only one that can run KCLT.

I didn't do anything strange to test this, just installed the Full QW757, which I didn't had before, and then the Stand-Alone Addon Manger, which would install exactly the same Addon Manager as any other FSDT installer.

hobbseltoff:
Out of curiosity, where did you install the addon manager to? I manually created an "Addon manager" folder in P3D and copied in the bglmanx.dll and bglmanx_qwings.dat files from my new addon manager location and now the 757 works. My guess is it doesn't like that it can't find those files in the old location.

hobbseltoff:
I guess the best temporary "fix" would be to create a symbolic link to those two files until QualityWings can make a patch.

The default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager

It's NOT required anymore to install into the sim and, in fact, it would be best if you don't do it, so you'll be able to uninstall/reinstall the sim in the future, without affecting the Addon Manager installation.

?? Of course it would never work like that! Why you haven't used the proper Stand-Alone Addon Manager installer ? The installer does A LOT more than just creating a folder and copying files, it must register the dll with the sim, in their proper location, change configuration files, set permissions, etc, etc, etc.

Never, ever, do things manually, when there's installer available.

Now, it would be best if you remove all the the things you added manually, then download and install the current version of the Stand-Alone Addon Manager.
