FSDT Airports with FSX Steam Edition
ek1118:
Hi Umberto,
I already have JFK V2 installed in FSX. I purchased FSX SE then downloaded the new installer so I could install it in FSX SE. After the install I ran FSX SE and promptly got a CTD. I redownloaded JFK V2 and reinstalled without uinstalling. CTD again. Appcrash info points to bglmax.dll as the module in question. Any thoughts?

Fsx boxed version installed originally, downloaded and installed fsx stream. After installing and testing a few addons uninstalled boxed version via fsx uninstaller. When I installed the airports (KJFK, KORD, KLAX) after redownloading from your site your installer found my steam folder automatically and installed without any errors. There is nothing in the Add-ons menu within FSX Steam other than the latest version of FSUPIC I had downloaded.

Found the problem, it was a bug in the Addon Manager related to support of legacy FS8 code, which is different (and not needed by most of our sceneries) in the FSX Steam Edition.
You only need to get the updated version of the bglmanx.dll file so, JUST run ANY FSDT installer (Stand-Alone Addon Manager, any scenery, GSX, etc.), no need to redownload anything, just run any one installer, to get the updated .DLL.
Sorry for the problem, it was a very old bit of code that we didn't use for years (it was pre-FSX), but still had to be handled with the new FSX version.

Sorry to report, but I'm still having the same issue after a fresh download and installation of Addon Manager. For the heck of it I also downloaded KORD and reinstalled it with no luck.
I then uninstalled all of the airports including ones from another vendor, and only reinstalled KORD with the same results.
Please see pictures below.

Your problem doesn't have anything to do with the ones reported here, which was either a problem with the installer recognizing the Steam edition, or a crash when starting at an FSDT airport.
You are reporting missing menus, which can be caused by missing Simconnect libraries in the Steam version, as explained here:

If that still doesn't fix the issue, this thread indicates all the known solutions for missing menu items under the "Addons" menu:
