FSX Startup crash
« on: June 15, 2008, 06:26:36 am »
It all worked fine.  Now when I start up fsx I get a warning about BGLManx being a bad peice of software.  I've re-installed KORD, LSZH, and the Addon Manager X, no luck.

If I hit no FSX runs fine but the scenery has no buildings, like the demo expired.  If I hit yet, a problem has occured and FSX has to close.

Do not uninstall the scenery.

Try to install the Stand Alone Addon Manager for FSX found here:

http://www.virtualisoftware.com/binaries/setup_addonmanagerX.exe

If still doesn't work, go to control panel, Uninstall the Addon Manager (found under "Virtuali Addon Manager", do not uninstall the scenery), then reinstall it. Never uninstall the scenery.

Try this:

manually remove

bglmanx.dll
bglmanx.dat
bglmanx_aerosoft.dat
bglmanx_fsdt.dat

from the FSX root folder, then reinstall the Addon Manager.

And, please note, the current version only works with FSX+SP2 or FSX+Acceleration. If you have FSX+SP1, it will not work.

I have experienced the same problem.  I have tried your sugested fixes and still to no avail - I get the same error mesage when I start FSX. 

If it helps I am reinstalling the airport on a newly purchased computer.  I run on VISTA 64 bit operating system.  All of my other addons, including my downloaded add-ons have re-installed  sucessfully, save for this one.  I don't think this is a VISTA permissions since the add-on manager installs on my hard drive.      Any help?  I want to fly into Zurich and Chicago again.

Ragriz,

I confirm that, if you follow exactly what I've said, manually remove the bglmanx* files first (all of them), then reinstalling the latest Addon Manager (re-download it, it in doubt) will work.

About Vista 64, it's a different issue. The program is compatible with Vista 64, but it might be you need to turn of UAC (normally it should not matter, but sometimes this fixes the problem).

However, we had an update in the works, that should hopefully clears up any confusion about bglmanx* files versioning, because it will always download the very latest version online.

You can try it here:

Hi Ragriz,

Since the latest Addon Manager fixed the issue for KSaunders, I would like to have a look at your DLL.XML file, to see which other modules you have installed. Maybe there's a conflict with something else we don't know yet.

Go to your %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX folder, open DLL.XML with notepad, and copy its content here, or send me a PM or an email with that file attached.

Assuming you are using the very latest version, you should first try disabling all modules (put <Disabled>True</Disabled> on each one) except the Addon Manager, and see if it works. If it does, turn on each module one by one and see which one is in conflict.
