need help with an odd problem..

heywooood · Apr 21, 2013

I had accufeel before I did a system upgrade with all new hardware...
I had kept my emailed receipts however and Lewis @ A2A promptly reactivated my remaining downloads..

But when I install it - I get no love in FSX
The files are installing to the correct directory and when I apply the update - it locates the installed file and the update installs - or at least it seems to

But when I open FSX and attempt to open AccuFeel under 'Addons' - it isn't there...my AICarriers (Ships) is there, but nothing else

I tried the forum search but found no reference to this problem
I had 'lost' AICarriers before and I think the fix was to re-install Java?

You'll need to find and check your DLL.XML file. Mine, on Win7, is at ; C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

There should be two entries in the XML file, one for the menu and the other for the module.

Depending upon your OS, if you didn't right-click and install as Administrator then you could have had a problem with the entries being written to the XML file.

As Meshman says there should be two entries in the dll.xml file. They should look like the following.
<launch.addon><launch.addon></launch.addon><launch.addon></launch.addon></launch.addon>
<launch.addon><launch.addon> <Launch.Addon>
<Name>A2A Feel</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>Modules\A2A_Feel.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>AccuFeelMenu</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>Modules\AccuFeelMenu.dll</Path>

Hey guys Thanks for the assists
Got it working - the entries were right but there was a reference to fsuipc...so I checked to make sure I had it - and I did not (not sure why...)
Once I got it downloaded and installed the A2A program worked fine

I have AccuFeel working now - thanks again
