Take a look at the EXE.XML file, located in your "C:\Users\Pat\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX" (at least in Vista. Same place your FSX.CFG file is, anyway), and the entry for Couatl.exe there-in. I believe it SHOULD look like this, I think:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Couatl</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
I believe your line <ManualLoad> is the trouble. I BELIEVE. It may currently read "True" vice "False". If it does, try changing it to False, as shown in my example.
Also, if the line <Disabled> is True vice False, make it to False.
If you change either line, start FSX and see if the problem clears. If
neither line needs to be change, ie they both read FALSE, then I have no clue (which is pretty normal
), and you'll have to wait on Virtuali to answer. He is the Guru of this stuff.
Make sure FSX is stopped before you do this, and ALWAYS make a BACK-UP before you make ANY changes to any file.I hope this helps...
