Add-ons Tab Not Showing/MVAMS Not Having Effect

[Bomber_12th]

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of an issue with the T-50 Bobcat in that I'm not getting the "Add-ons" tab in the toolbar of FSX, and the MVAMS configurator doesn't have any effect on the simulation either (i.e., switching between cold & dark and running doesn't change anything when loading the aircraft in the sim, it always loads with the props spinning and the main electrics and nav lights on). Such that I am unable to get any pilot/passenger figures to show up in the external model. I do get an "Add-ons" tab when installing other things, such as FSUIPC, but I'm not getting any tab with the Bobcat installation.

I'm running FSX-Acceleration on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (UAC/defender/firewalls all turned off, running as administrator for everything). I have the .NET Framework 4.5 and C++ 2013 installed (are there any other such prerequisites?).

I have installed/reinstalled the product several times without any change, including activating several gauges (when prompted) the first time I ran the product in the sim, followed by purposely deleting the FSX.cfg file to force the re-activation of the gauges in following attempts, but still the same result.

Should there be anything for the product in the FSX root Modules folder?

Are you running the sim as an admin?

Colin, I am having the same problem as John with cold / dark startup. The MVAMS configurator does allow for changing personnel but the engines are always turning no matter what. There is nothing to change in the Addon drop down. Definitely always start P3D and FSX as the Administrator. Hope this helps solve the issue. Tom

Yes, I am running FSX as Admin (as checked through compatibility).
