Add-on manager troubles

(1/1)

LukasBA:
Hi everybody

I would be grateful if somebody could help me. i've tried to read some topics about it but I didn't find any answers. I have downloaded and installed, some of FSdreamteams sceneries, and cloud9 KLAX. but the add-on manager doesn't appear in the top bar after I installed the scenery. my controle panel says it is installed.

I suspect it has something to do with windows 7, which is installed in my computer.

can anybody help

best regards

Lukas

As instructed in every topic that deals with it, the most common cause is your antivirus that is wrongly identifying the Addon Manager as a threat, and is blocking its installation. Especially on FS9, which doesn't have any of the Simconnect complications and the Trust issues that FSX has.

You need to:

- Install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FS9 AFTER you installed a Cloud9 program that doesn't have an FSDT installer yet

- During installation, you need to TURN THE ANTIVIRUS OFF. Not just quit from its interface: you need to stop realtime protection. Yes, this is important.

- After the installation, BEFORE launching FS9, you need to instruct your antivirus to exclude this file from scanning:

YourFS9Folder\MODULES\bglman.dll

Or, the whole MODULES folder.

- After having configured the antivirus this way, you can finally turn it on, and launch FS9
