Flightbeam's San Francisco 2.0 screw up!

(1/27) > >>

specialist:
I've got almost all FSDT sceneries, and as we all know, it's activated through the addon manager. Flightbeam put out their 2.0 update today, and for some reason not only does it have a problem activating through the addon manager, but it screwed up all my FSDT sceneries. Now I can't see none of the terminals in all off my FSDT airports!!!

In the post above yours in the Flightbeam forum, Amir said that its an Addon Manager problem and will be fixed shortly.

It's not an Addon Manager problem.

It's just not possible the Addon Manager included in the KSFO installer would cause problems with our sceneries, because it's EXACTLY THE SAME Addon Manager we install with our sceneries. The files are taken exactly from the same location, are updated online, so they are always the same and the latest version.

Your problem is surely caused by something else entirely, like the antivirus mistakenly blocking our modules.

Check if you have BOTH the Addon Manager menu AND the Couatl menus under the Addons menu in FSX.

 If only Couatl is missing, than it's 100% sure you haven't correctly set the antivirus, please follow this to the letter, don't skip any step.

- Uninstall the scenery. Reply YES when asked if you want to remove the Addon Manager and the Couatl Engine. Reply YES to both questions.

- TURN OFF your antivirus. Don't just exit from its interface, but turn off the real time protection. Actual wording changes between products, however, it's the option to scan every file that gets open in real time, without user intervention.

- Reinstall the scenery with the Antivirus TURNED OFF. Don't launch FSX yet.

- Configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\couatl.exe

YourFSXFolder it's usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X, if you installed it in the default folder.

- Now you can turn the antivirus back on, and launch FSX.

- Check you are seeing BOTH the "Addon Manager" menu AND the "Couatl powered products" menu under the "Addons" menu.

When I get home this afternoon from work, I will try your suggestion. Although, I don't use antivirus programs with my dedicated FSX computer, since that is all I use it for.

Hi Virtuali.

I have never had any problem with disapearing object's\terminal's when installing your and FB scenery, have done all this thing's with AV, so that should not be a problem. But installing FB's v.2 today, i have no longer terminal building's at KSFO and your scenery's, so i think something is messing up here, some place... Just take a look at my dll.xml files and you see!!!
