I'm a freshly activated trial member, and I had some trouble with the PE client install - hopefully this is an appropriate place to post about it. I was able to resolve it, but for documentation and future people who may run into the same issue, here's how the problem manifested itself and how I resolved it.
The Environment:
FSX Gold
FSUIPC 4
Active Sky Next (ASN) SP2 Beta
EzDok EZCA
FS Recorder <---important later
The Problem:
After an error-free PE client install, I launched FSX with the goal of setting up a PTT key via FSUIPC and connecting the PE client. I was not prompted to authorize any PE DLLs. Once I got into the sim, I discovered that FSUIPC was not listed in my Add-ons menu, so I diverted my attention and attempted to troubleshoot that problem.
The Solution:
The PilotEdge installer had corrupted my DLL.XML file (%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml) like this:
Code: Select all
<Launch.Addon><Name>FS Recorder</Name><Disabled>False</Disabled><ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad><Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\FS Recorder for FSX\FSRecorder_FSX.dll</Path></Launch.Addon>
<Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
For anyone searching for a solution, adding in a "<Launch.Addon>" tag above whichever addon is missing one should fix the problem. Correct code for me:
Code: Select all
<Launch.Addon><Name>FS Recorder</Name><Disabled>False</Disabled><ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad><Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\FS Recorder for FSX\FSRecorder_FSX.dll</Path></Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon> <!-- This line corrects the issue -->
<Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
Follow-up: I just got back from my first PE flight. Everything worked perfectly and the flight was without incident, but I can tell you that mic fright is REAL! I'm looking forward to getting over it here on PE.
