Guages FSX/SE

[Taguilo]

Please download the zip attached to this message, and unzip it in your main FSX:SE folder.

Then search for ALL your occurrences of DLL.XML that have FSX:SE as part of the folder name, and to be sure, edit each one and add, just before the bottom of the file, :

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

And let me know the results,

Tom

I did that and still no change.

[Taguilo]

Perhaps you could post here the content of your FSX:SE DLL.XML file? It might be possible that another addon could be interfering with XMLTools.

Besides, please check that you have all VC++ Runtime modules installed, Check this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=137&t=7680

You can go first to Control Panel-Install/Uninstall programs and see if any Microsoft Visual C++ 2010(and up) Redistributable-x86 entry is listed.

I already checked that the VC++ Runtime modules were installed but I did it again. Here is the contents of one of the DLL.XML files. Hopefully it's the right one.

</SimBase.Document>

[Taguilo]

To check for other addon's influence I suggest you move XMLTools entry to the top of the Addons' sections, immediately after <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> line.
And please do that in all of DLL.XML files that you have detected in your machine, that are FSX or FSX:SE related (NOT those from P3D)

Thanks

Still not working. The files I'm editing are in Steamapps/Common/FSX. Am I looking in the right place?

[Taguilo]

I think you are.
According to your info, it should work if everything seems ok.

Unfortunately I cannot do more to help you in your situation. I'm sorry.
If i think of anything that I might have forgotten, I'll let you know.

Regards,
Tom

Geez what we think is happening: Due to the installation and subsequent removal of FSX and then the installation of FSX Se, show how, your registry has become corrupted. We can’t, unfortunately, help you with that so, and I know you’re not going to like this but, we recommend that you reinstall windows and then FSX Se. this will guarantee a fresh and clean install, a fixed registry and a nice place to put the beaver.

Sorry but that’s the only thing we can offer at this time.

Wait, it might be missing SimConnect. Go to your FSX SE directory\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\lib and run the SimConnect.msi there. Then go to your FSX SE directory\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-XPACK and run that SimConnect.msi as well.

[CDNflyer]

Still no luck. When I start the sim with engine running the MP reads zero but the oil temp starts at some normal reading and the needle slowly drops to zero as well. Does that help? I'm not reinstalling Windows. I'll try reinstalling FSX SE if that might help. Otherwise I'm done with the Beaver.

[CDNflyer]

How do I uninstall the Beaver Expansion Pack? When I select FSX SE(side by side) and check Uninstall it seems to want to install it again. I uninstalled the base airplane no problem. I want to completely get rid of it and try reinstalling.

[doodlebug]

It's not clear if you actually ran the uninstall option. You should see a similar activity window but it will say 'deletiing' rather than 'installing'.

Do you have the TACPACK and/or ADV versions?

[CDNflyer]

I have Tackpack which I uninstalled and ADV F4.

[JonathanBleeker]

@Ois this isn't the F-4 forum...this is about the beaver which is completely unrelated. @CDNflyer you got Ois's question about actually running the uninstall option?

[doodlebug]

oops - sorry about that - posted in the wrong thread
