I purchased Accu Feel a few days ago and have had no luck getting it to work. My machine is running Windows 7 (32 bit). I have been on this forum looking for solutions but most seem to require a reinstall of FSX! The main issue occurring is that it will not put the "Add-ons" item in the FSX menu. The install seemed to be fine. It tried to install DirectX but indicated that I already had a newer version and aborted. The messages said the install was successful, but upon launching FSX Acceleration, there is no "Add-on". Has this problem been resolved???

If you didn't, try the v.1.08 update here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=31105

Greyrat:

Please download and run this utility:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34075223/onlin ... Dr_A2A.exe

A little black window will appear with a blinking cursor. This will take about 60 seconds or more to complete. Once this is done, you will have a "Dr_A2A_Report" file next to the Dr_A2A.exe program. Email this to doctor@a2asimulations.com.

In your email, please include:
- First name
- Forum user name
- Product and problem you are experiencing

Scott.

Well, the utility cannot find your dll.xml file. This is a necessary file for FSX. Let me point the team to this thread to see what may be causing this issue on your system.

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the help! You know, that file is extremely hard to find in Win7, because the path is hidden: "C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX". I was surprised that even for Administrator, which I am on this machine, they have to be unhidden! So that path is where dll.xml is located in Win7. I tried to edit the file but got "Access denied". I am surprised that the administrator doesn't have access and tried to gain it but was refused! I can copy it, but am not allowed permission to attach it to an email and send to you!

This seems to be something amiss with your permissions in Windows. Does anyone have any idea why this guy cannot edit this file?

Scott.

Yes, it's set to "Never Notify". Access denied when I try to open dll.xml in Notepad.

Thanks Caldemeyn, that worked! I can open dll.xml in Notepad! Here's what's in it:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
    <Disabled>True</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
    <Disabled>True</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name>
    <Disabled>True</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Do you have Fsuipc installed? maybe try reinstalling it

You can always let FSX rebuild the file by throwing the one you have now away (not sure if this one can be rebuild, didn't try it myself)

Of course i would wait a little for one of A2A staff to look at your unlocked file

Before you do anything, Backup. :wink:

Well, the good news is we can see the reason Accu-Feel isn't in the drop down menu. Can you run the Accu-Feel installer again and will it write to that file now? If not, this is what you would want to add to that dll.xml:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>A2A Feel</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>Modules\A2A_Feel.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>AccuFeelMenu</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>Modules\AccuFeelMenu.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

Scott.

Yes! It's working now!!! I uninstalled Accu Feel and re-installed it. I checked the dll.xml and now the Accu Feel addons are there!
Thanks a million Scott and Caldemeyn.
