[SOLVED] P3Dv2.3 & AddOn Manager

[Dubstar]

I see that right away after the release of 2.3 FSDT released an updated version of the Addon Manager to complement the update.

But trying to activate FSDT programmes in P3Dv2.3 fails for me right now.

I downloaded the Addon Manager and they install nicely. However starting P3Dv2.3 will not bring the ususal enquiry process to trust Virtuali S.A vendor and the following initialization of the Addon Manager module.

Tried many times now installing / uninstalling / reinstalling but I'm out of clues.

Since then I checked:

[checked] Before download, switch of Kaspersky Anti Virus and add bglmanx.dll and couatl.exe
[checked] Deactivate FSUIPC4934f in dll.xml
[checked] uninstalled / reinstalled Addon Manager several times (also gsx_fsx_setup.exe or oharex_setup)
[checked] Installing files as Administrator mode
[checked] Made sure that no Lenovo, ATI Tray Tools, Radeon Pro, Trilium, AmbX or Kraken files inflicting.

My dll.xml looks like this:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>

    <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>

    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>Modules\SimConnectP3D2.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>I:\P3D\SDK\Environment SDK\Traffic Toolbox SDK\TrafficToolbox.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
    <Disabled>True</Disabled>
    <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Virtuali please advise what else I could look into. Many thanks!

Kind regards

No version of P3D ever had that trust request. It's an FSX only feature so, it's just normal you won't get any trust request from P3D.

[checked] Deactivate FSUIPC4934f in dll.xml

None of our products requires, affect or are affected by FSUIPC.

[checked] Made sure that no Lenovo, ATI Tray Tools, Radeon Pro, Trilium, AmbX or Kraken files inflicting.

None of these issues are related in any way to the Addon Manager. They only affect Couatl, but you won't just miss its menu, you will see an error message from it.

Virtuali please advise what else I could look into. Many thanks!

Maybe you have the problem that has been discussed many times on the forum, which is an incomplete P3D installation that is missing the Simconnect runtimes. See this thread:

Virtuali,

you're the best!

The hint with the missing install of the SimConnect libraries did it - thanks a million!

Kind regards,
