problem with addon-manager **SOLVED**

(1/2) > >>

Kai-Uwe:
hello,

I'm just making a new FSX-installation. Now a problem comes up: I installed all FSDT-airports and they worked fine. But now, without reason, the start of FSX lasts very long, about 5-6 minutes. If I deinstall one of your sceneries together with the addon-manager the FS starts quick like a flash. If I install the manager again (stand alone or together with scenery) during the next FS-start I will ask for permission for couatl and addon-manager but there's a hint (in a white windows) that the bglmanx.dll had made problems and it advices me to deactivate it. But I say yes to activate it and then... like before. In the dll.xml there is an entry for addon-manager on the top. I took it to the bottom but there's no difference. Antivirus is turned off. So what can I do now?

greetings Kai

Do you have a *lot* of sceneries ?

The issue is: the Addon Manager HAS to check if a scenery is installed, otherwise it would create bogus "Trial started" messages when entering in an area of a known scenery, even if you didn't have that scenery installed, that's why the check. We had a version that skipped the check, to speed-up load time, but users complained about seeing the Trial message for no reason so, either we have a fast startup time, or we see Trial messages even without having a known scenery installed.

However, 5-6 minutes it's not normal at all, it shouldn't take more than 20-30 seconds, normally, and the difference between having the check or not shouldn't be more than a few seconds, unless your list of installed sceneries is really big.

Kai-Uwe:
hi Umberto,

yes, the list is large, about 470 entries and I haven't finished yet.  The problem came at a moment, from one to another scenery. Will this check happens everytime I start FS? I saw now that it lasts about 25 minutes! Do you know some "candidates" of sceneries which could make trouble? I deleted some entries in the exe.xml regarding the season-switcher from Schweizer Kleinflughäfen (FlyLogic) but it didin't help. The joke is: in my older FSX-installation I had the same sceneries and it ran wonderful.

Kai-Uwe:
hi Umberto,

just me. The reason you told me could be the right. I downloaded the latest scenerie-versions before I made a new fsx. So probably it happens what you mean with searching the library. Oh man! Is it possible to send me the old manager, I had this trial problem only sometimes and if I had it, I activated it again. I thought during that about hardware-changings like overclocking etc. But now I know what did happen. Oh it would be very helpful if you could give me the old managerfiles.

greetings Kai

Kai-Uwe:
hi Umberto,

the problem has gone. I deactivated a lot of sceneries first. After that it was as quick as without the addonmanager. Now I was activating sceneries in ten-blocks. And so it works until the latest scenerie. I hope it lasts because I 'haven't finished the installations.

greetings Kai
