The A2A Simulations Community

I can access the addon menu, as it has aicarriers, but it doesn't have Accu-Feel. I've done everything in the FAQ (replaced DLL, entiries are inside this file: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml, and the two files are inside the modules folder. I've included two pictures of my DLL, if they don't attach, I'll try again.

Thanks for the help.

Here's the dll.

Any help?

Have you checked here

Looking at your dll.xml file, you've got 2 </Launch.Addon> entries after the Visual Effects Tool section.

That may be causing problems

I'll try deleting one of them. And should I maybe put a space between the bottom launch addon line and the very end simbase document line?

Here is my dll.xml file and mine work's fine.

Cool, thanks, I'll try it when I get home.

And I just installed some ORBX stuff, so will that add entries into my DLL? It seems so, looking at yours. I'll tell you how it goes.

Thanks

I don't know if I should be suggesting this or not, nor do I know if it will help, but if it were me having problems with my dll.xml file/no addon menu, I would look into this little tool:

http://www.flight1.com/files/FSXML.zip

DESCRIPTION: "FSXML is a unique management and repair system for the DLL.XML file that is used in FSX. It is not to be confused with a pure XML editor because it is specifically designed to edit, and help you repair, manage, and format the <Launch.Addon> sections of the DLL.XML file that is part of FSX.
In many cases this file becomes corrupt, or contain misordered <Launch.Addon> sections. Sometimes setup tools place incomplete sections, make incorrect alterations to existing sections, or place invalid characters in the DLL.XML file. And as mentioned above, some DLL modules need to be loaded in a specific order. This program helps you maintain all the above."


Basically, this program reads what is in your dll.xml file, and allows you to rebuild it, re-order it, etc. It will, in essence, handle any "corruption" of the file caused by incorrect Linefeeds or whatever the heck else causes the file to not interface correctly. I became aware of this tool when having installation problems with the Level-D 767. I have used it on one occasion since to rebuild my dll.xml file when my Addon menu disappeared for no apparent reason. No guarantees that it will fix your problem, it is just something I would try, just to make sure.

DISCLAIMER: I'm a relatively experienced FSX user, so my recomendation for this tool simply reflects what I would do as the next logical troubleshooting step. If it fixes the problem great, if not, I could always get back to where I started. On the other hand, if you are an inexperienced fsx guy, or don't know how to back things up before mucking around, don't use this. You had better read the instructions very carefully. If A2A people have a deeper insight into the Addon Menu problems that people are having and doesn't recommend people mess around with this tool, I assume that they will step in and say so.

Sure, I guess I'll try it tomorrow. I've been simming since 08' and am good with computers, I can do it.

And no, using your dll (norforce) didn't work, thanks though.

I didn't put there to be used but as a look see to make shore that the commands are set out right
ie: </Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
because looking @ yours there are mistakes

Really? I didn't see any.

Try removing the last </Launch.Addon> (the bottom of the two at the bottom). The "/" indicates a closure of a loop so to speak, and there are 3 opening (without the "/"), but 4 closing. That might be the problem.

I am trying to open my dll.xml file as I normally do using notepad in Explorer but, for some reason it won't let me open the dll.xml file.
I can open my cfg and other files but not dll.xml.
The solution may be easy but I am very computer challenged!!
Any ideas on how I can open the file so I can try to use the fix mentioned above?

Thanks All,

Chief

Chief, with xml files you need to right click on it and choose edit from the drop down list.
