Title: Removing Couatl entry from exe.xml
Post by: FlyingAce on December 18, 2022, 05:17:54 am

Is it possible to remove the exe.xml entry for Couatl scripting engine so the sim doesn't attempt to start it unless I choose to start it manually? If yes, are these the lines that should be removed?

<Launch.Addon>
        <Name>Couatl</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\couatl64\couatl64_MSFS.exe</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>

If this is the only entry in the exe.xml, you also could just remove the whole exe.xml. That's it.
If there's more in the xml and you just would like to remove the couatl launch, yes, these are the lines to be removed.

Hi,
You can also simply change the False to True in between the Disabled variables. This will also stop the couatl from starting automatically and you can quickly switch it back if needed.

<Launch.Addon>
        <Name>Couatl</Name>
        <Disabled>True</Disabled>
        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\couatl64\couatl64_MSFS.exe</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>

Thank you RogePete for your help. It's greatly appreciated. Yes, there are other entries in the file so deleting it won't be the best option.

Thank you Beacon for your help. I really like your suggestion. I will do that. Cheers.

Setting the <Disabled> property to True is the safest option, and also the easiest to restore.

Hi, how exactly would I go about editing this. Do I require an additional app to get to this code.
Thanks, Will
