As a matter of fact, they have to. Don't you think that, if the problem could be fixed from our side, we would tried it already ? Have you followed the explanation ?
If the issue is caused by a conflict between something that FS Copilot use, which is most likely a system component, why should be fixed from our side, considering that our module is constantly kept updated, while FS Copilot hasn't been upgraded for a lot of time ?
There's not a support forum open anymore...how can we possible get a clue why their module create this issue ? Not that we didn't already, a while ago. The reply was they don't have any clue either.

That's not the case. The fact is that FS Copilot that is the ONE AND ONLY 3rd party module that doesn't work together with the Addon Manager.
You might have had a point, if you were able to name *another* 3rd party module that doesn't work together with FS Copilot. None of the most commonly used ones has such issue. We have users with a DLL.XML file with *dozen* of modules installed, and NONE create this issue, only FS Copilot.
I repeat and confirm, you have to switch to Squawbox, which works without issues with the Addon Manager, like any other module out there we know of, except FS Copilot.

Kevin is 100% correct. Let me get one thing across first...I DONT HAVE FSCOPILOT EVEN INSTALLED. Ok...now, I recently reinstalled my ORD scenery that I purchased maybe a year ago. When doing so it updated my version of addon manager automatically. I run fsx and it asks me if I trust addon manager and if i want to run it...i click yes...load up and reactivate my scenery. Later in the day I go to open fsx and I dont even make it past the FSX splash screen. I unistall my fsdt sceneries and addon manager and my fsx runs fine. CLEARLY, the lastest addon manager is corrupt and needs to be fixed. What am i now, the 3rd person with the same issue? Iv had fdt sceneries for a longgg time and never had an issue till now and its the sameone kevin is having. Id like to see this fixed or I would like atleast half of my money back.

No, he's not, because he's having a problem only if FS Copilot is installed. If he removes FS Copilot, FSX runs fine.
I'm just saying that we'll NOT pursue THIS issue, because FS Copilot is the one and only module that doesn't work with the Addon Manager, it hasn't been updated for ages, and there's no even an official website/forum right now, that users might go asking for ideas.
Everything else related to the Addon Manger, we'll WILL hunt down and help everyone. Just not, in the one and only case, where FSX runs fine, and stop working with the Addon Manager ONLY because FS Copilot. This is the only case when there's just nothing we can do, because we don't have the slightest idea why FS Copilot does this.

Then you have a different issue.

No, you don't have the same issue as kevin because, if he removes FS Copilot, FSX runs correctly so, clearly, the Addon Manager works on his machine, without FS Copilot. So, your issue is different.
Now, let's try to see why it doens't work on YOUR machine:
Let's start again from scratch:
Please describe, exactly, how FSX stops.
Do you see any error ? Or it just quits ?
Kevin:
Ok I think you have convinced me to try squawkbox because I am missing your sceneries and the QW757. Just a quick question about it(I know this isn't their support but maybe you will know) How do you change one of their default aircraft modules to one of yours. Such as I want to change the default Delta B752 paint from theirs to my better looking module. This is why I did not want to switch because it's such a pain getting all that back in there and I don't know how. Thanks

You can install new repaint ( lots of them ) with the QualityWings 757. In fact, we wrote the Livery Manager for them...however, I really don't know if it would be possible to merge it with a different model.
