Nope. It asks me to start up everytime, And it's always yes. But it is REFUSING to show up in the addons menu. Or Respond to its Key Board short cut

Did it do that, before you changed that line?

No, But your having to manually tell FSX to load is so, It makes sense as to why it's asking

Ok, now this is just a theroy, but I'm betting this works.

In the line for the aicarriers entry make this change:

<?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>
         <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>Change this back to False
            <Name>AICarriers</Name>
            <Path>C:\Program Files\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
            <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>
   </SimBase.Document>

I'm thinking, that the first one, is the only one that needs to be true, because I only have one entry, but you have two, so the first Entry is like the master on/off switch for all entries, while the second one is waiting for it to be manually turned on again, so if it's set to false, it should be on.
it's hard to explain what I'm thinking, but it makes great sense in my head. Cheesy

I'll see if I can explain it better.

<?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>This is causing the propmt when you start FSX
   <Launch.Addon>REX entry starts here
         <Disabled>False</Disabled>
         <Name>Real Environment Xtreme - Weather Engine 2</Name>
         <Path>C:\Program Files\Real Environment Xtreme\rexwxengine2.exe</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>REX entry ends here
   <Launch.Addon>AICarriers entry starts here
            <Disabled>False</Disabled>
            <ManualLoad>True</ManualLoadThis being set to True, may be what's keeping it from working
            <Name>AICarriers</Name>
            <Path>C:\Program Files\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
            <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>AICarriers entry ends here
   </SimBase.Document>

Do you see where the first <Launch.ManualLoad>True</Launch.ManualLoad> entry is compared to the second one within the addon entries?

The first one comes before the addons entries, while the second one is a part of the AICarriers entry.

So I'm thinking the first one, is causing the prompt to pop up every time you start FSX, because I'm getting the same thing.

But...

Since you have it a second time in the actual entry for AICarriers, having it set to false, is making it want to have a manual load again.

So hopefully by setting it to true, it will be on.

Understand what I'm getting at, or do I sound like a rambling mad man? Grin

Another option could be, to remove that line completely from the AICarriers portion of the entry. Wink

Do you want the truth or no Grin

I was outside for a second grabbing some pictures of a storm front

Trying it now, Thanks for all the help. Even if in the end it doesn't work. Editing everything now

EDIT: Before I try this. IT should look like...

<?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>
<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>False</ManualLoad>
            <Name>AICarriers</Name>
            <Path>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
            <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

This Huh

I don't know a whole lot about these xml things, so when I
get going on a thought, I get a little excited when the pieces start clicking together in my mind.

Sometimes, I know the answer, before I can think of the words to explain them. Cheesy

Basically, what I said above, is your exe.xml should look like this:

<?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>
         <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>False</ManualLoad>
            <Name>AICarriers</Name>
            <Path>C:\Program Files\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
            <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>
   </SimBase.Document>

Exactly, and if that doesn't do it.

Try getting rid of the line you just changed.

IF THAT doesn't work, then I'm going to have to do some web surfing. Grin

No avail, At all.

Good news is. The Warbirdsim P-51C Looks great!

Bad News is, I have found no records of my problem anywhere..Just like you and your weird Baron58 Smoke ( I think its The Real Engine Addon Roll Eyes

)

So I am off to the web as well. Any Chance you have MSN ?

The smoke problem I've had for about a year now,
I just usually don't admit here, that I have problems with my own FS.

I'm supposed to fix them, not have them. Grin

No MSN, I tried it once, and couldn't figure it out. Cheesy

Between this, facebook, youtube, and myspace, my attention span is stretched. Shocked

I'll keep looking into this though, there has to be a reason why mine is working now, and yours is not. Undecided

Ahh. So I have discovered my problem. And it's more aggravating then the program not working, It's The new Carriers that is Causing it not to work. Any ideas on that one ?

EDIT: It worked fine until I dropped the New carriers cfg into the conf.d folder. Then no more, Removed the the New Carriers Cfg and it still wouldnt work. Reinstalled an no go.. Huh

I have no clue what to do

Well. the good news is, we had it working for you.

Even if only for a short time. Wink

I never messed with anything the Config.d folder.

I made all of my additions to the aicarriers.cfg file that was in the main folder with the aicarriers.exe.

I have pretty much completely rewritten every bit of that file to use my addon ships instead of the ones it came with.

I've not seen such a temperamental addon in quite some time, and I've already decided that if mine goes dead again, it's gone for good. I'll just go back to using version 1. Wink
