Ai Carriers problem (Read 7813 times)

Hey guys, 2nd post here is a big question.

I have recently re-installed FSX on the new Pc and after that, all my Aircraft and then Ai Carriers.

On my old Pc I followed the same steps ( Same OS ect, Just more RAM ) and Ai Carriers worked fine.

Now though, I have tried reinstalling it 3 or 4 times, Clearing the registry and folders manually between installs. I have tried the Ip switch to no avail. I have even erased the FSX config in hopes of it rewriting a value. And after all of that it still does not show up in the Addons menu, Or even after pressing Shit+J

With that being said, any ideas?

I just wanna take off from a carrier someday before I die Wink

I've just encountered this problem as well. Huh

Huh

Is AI carriers v2, a one time only install?

Everything worked perfectly, then I did a reinstall, and now nothing. Sad

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

When it worked I could.

Now, just as the original poster stated, the menu option to even get them to appear is gone.

It's as though it's not even installed anymore. Huh

Huh

It worked perfectly, until I did a reinstall of FSX & Aicarriers2.

Exactly, You can land and shoot from the deck as well.

And Shane, I have the exact same problem you do. I Emailed Lamont about it last, I will post my findings when I get an email back

When I transferred everything over to a larger hard drive, my aicarriers just vanished. I figured something got lost in the transfer so I downloaded the latest version and tried to install but to no avail.

I really wish I could figure this out, I have checked my hosts files. Done everything in the book. I am completly at a loss for words right now, I just went and bought EA6B's, F-14's and A-6's.

I Figured it out! Cool

Cool

Not sure where the location will be if you use Vista or W7

but for XP, go to : C:\Documents and Settings\your user name here\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

open the file called EXE.XML with notepad,
and make sure this entry is there:

And change this line :

<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

to this:

<Launch.ManualLoad>True</Launch.ManualLoad>

Quote:

<?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>True</Launch.ManualLoad>
      <Launch.Addon>
            <Disabled>False</Disabled>
            <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
            <Name>AICarriers</Name>
            <Path>your path to aicarriers.exe goes here</Path>
            <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
      </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

I looked in the zip file, and found the manual install folder, and it contained this information.
I compared what I had to the sample EXE.XML it provides in the manual install folder, and did the above to make mine match, and now it works again, just as it did before!

I forgot to mention this above, so I will add it after this post,

but on this line here, I changed the FALSE to TRUE:

<Launch.ManualLoad>True</Launch.ManualLoad>

Give that a try and let me know.

It works perfectly for me now, and that is the ONLY thing I've done.

It worked when I re-edited the Exe.xml once. Until I reloaded FS and then nothing. Are you running the new Nimitz pack as well ?

And just to double check here is my Exe.xml

<?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>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Name>Real Environment Xtreme - Weather Engine 2</Name>
<Path>C:\Program Files\Real Environment Xtreme\rexwxengine2.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
            <Disabled>False</Disabled>
            <ManualLoad>True</ManualLoad>
            <Name>AICarriers</Name>
            <Path>C:\Program Files\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
            <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Yes, I'm running the Nimitz, plus several other FSX ships, and using them successfully with aicarriers.

In your FSX/scenery/world/scenery folder, is there a file called trafficCarriers.bgl?

And have you tried moving the AICarriers folder into the main FSX folder?

Not sure why that would make a difference, but that's where mine currently is.
If you try that, don't forget to change the path in your EXE.xml file. Wink

Wink

Aside from those two things, I don't see what would be different, other than that I don't have any other entries in my exe.xml like you do.

Okay, Moved the folder. And Edited the Exe.xml Also a no go.

As far as the Trafficcarriers.bgl thats confirmed. In the scenery/world folder

I was just comparing our exe.xml files, and just for the sake of trying it,

In the very fist time that this line appears in yours, the one before your REX entry:

<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

Try changing it to True and see what happens.

If it doesn't work, you can always change it back. Wink
