1. The only third party addon is Active Sky and DOES appear in the Addon Menu.
Sorry, I misread your post. In this case, are you sure you installed the correct MSI file ? The one for FSX SP2. Active Sky might require an earlier version of Simconnect like RTM or SP1 so, if that one is installed, but the FSX SP2 version is not, only addons requiring the RTM or SP1 version of the Simconnect library will work, but not those requiring the SP2 version, like all our modules.
So, be sure you installed the SP2 Simconnect .MSI file.
Just for my understanding, should a "fsdreamteam" folder also exist inside the Prepar3d game folder?
Yes, AFTER you install any FSDT product, just like in FSX.
If you still can't see the menus, and you are sure you installed the correct .MSI file, try this:
- Go into Control Panel, Uninstall GSX and reply YES to the questions "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?" and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Couatl script engine ?"
- TURN YOUR ANTIVIRUS OFF.
With the antivirus still disabled, reinstall GSX
- BEFORE launching P3D, configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:
YourP3DFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourP3DFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\Couatl.exe
- Now you can turn your Antivirus on, and launch FSX
- Note if P3D asks permission to run the Addon Manager and the Couatl programs, reply YES to both
- When P3D loads, check if you have BOTH the "Addon Manager" and the "Couatl powered products" under the "Addons" menu.
If still doesn't work, be sure you are NOT running FSX into any of the "Compatibility" modes under Vista/Win7 ( right-click on FSX.EXE, select "Properties", select "Compatibility" and be sure NOTHING is enabled in that page)
If still doesn't work, maybe you also have inadvertently Un-trusted us as a Publisher, so nothing signed by us will run.
To fix this, go to the Control Panel, under "Internet Options", look for the "Content" tab, there should be a "Publishers" button, that will list the software publishers that you trusted, and another tab with untrusted publishers. If you see "Virtuali s.a.s", remove it from both tabs (especially if it's under untrusted)
