FSX Addonmanager doesn't display

(1/5) > >>

jc880:

I did a search on this and found too many hits.  I've installed KJFK, KLAX, KDFW, and KORD in both FS9 and FSX. FS9 everything shows up fine.  In FSX neither the addon manager nor the scenery proper shows up, although I do get vehicle movements.  What am I
missing as I suspect it's probably obvious.

Thanks,
Jim

Try this:

- Download and install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FSX.

If it still doesn't work, try this:

- If you installed the Stand-Alone Addon Manager, Uninstall it.

- 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 Stand-Alone Addon Manager 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 FSX starts correctly, and you are seeing BOTH the "Addon Manager" menu AND the "Couatl powered products" menu under the "Addons" menu.

 I did all of the above, but still no go.  I changed my anti-virus (microsoft essentials)
to exclude the above files.  I also unchecked the monitoring of current files.
I uninstalled addon manager. Then re-installed it checking that it was the FSX version.
Still no go.  I then uninstalled the FSD sceneries followed by uninstalling FSX.  I then
re-installed FSX and restored my FSX.CFG file folder. FSX came up fine. I then installed
the addon manager for FSX (all still with the anti-virus turned off.)  When I brought up
FSX I was prompted for accepting both couatl and addon manager to which I replied yes.
Still FSX did not show them.

I then un-installed the addon manager.  I installed KDFW. When I start FSX I am again
prompted to accept couatl and addon manager which I reply yes to.  Still, addon manager
does not appear and the scenery only displays the gates, no buildings.

I then re-installed addon manager but still no display in FSX.  I'm at a loss as to what the
problem is. FS9 shows them fine.

I then installed KLAX and during the installation received the warning that HD textures were
not set in my FSX config file.  How does one do that?

Try to activate the Simconnect diagnostic mode:

Open notepad, and copy the following text:


--- Code: ---[SimConnect]
level=normal
console=1
RedirectStdOutToConsole=1
OutputDebugString=1
; file=c:\simconnect%03u.log
; file_next_index=0
; file_max_index=9

--- End code ---

Save the file as SIMCONNECT.INI in this folder:

Documents And Settings\YOUR LOGIN NAME\Documents\Microsoft Flight Simulator X Files

At the next FSX launch, you should see a text window with diagnostic message, that should tell you what's going wrong. Let me know what you are getting, so we can have an idea what's happening.

Only the first few lines are important: if the windows scrolls too fast, you can use the "Pause" key on the keyboard to pause the scrolling. Post here only the first 10 lines or so of the diagnostic, but it's important you post the first 10 lines.
