So as per about every trouble shooting response I have seen on these forums i uninstalled the scenery(Phnl) and replied yes if I want to uninstall the caoutl and adding manager. I then installed the new stane alone addon manager, loaded fsx, and now I have no buildings at any fsdt airports.
No troubleshooting on the forum has ever suggested this. If you really did exactly what you wrote here, you uninstalled PHNL and then reinstalled only the newest Stand-Alone Addon Manager.
That wouldn't work, if you uninstall PHNL without reinstalling it back, you won't see it.
The correct procedure is:
- Uninstall PHNL entirely (replying Yes to the questions about removing the Addon Manger and the Couatl modules )
- Reinstall PHNL
- IF that still doesn't work, install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager AFTER the scenery WITHOUT removing it
As explained many times on the forum, when you do all these procedures (downloading AND installing), your antivirus should be OFF. And, before launching it, be sure it's configured to ignore the following files:
YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\couatl\Couatl.exe
Be sure that you ARE being asked permission to run the Addon Manager module AND the Couatl module when you restart FSX after installing.
Be sure you ARE replying YES when asked permission.
If you are NOT being asked permission to run the modules, if you are 100% sure to have correctly configured the antivirus, be sure you haven't mistakenly "untrusted" us as publishers from Windows:
- In the Control Panel, select "Internet Options"
- Select the "Content" tab and click the "Certificates" button
- Select the Untrusted Publisher tab
- Select the Publisher ( VIRTUALI ) you wish to unblock and click the Remove button
