Mine did the same thing too, but I was attempting to figure out why my SDK didn't install right... Maybe mine will come back too. Did you reboot the computer when you got it back?
Yup, tried rebooting, total shutdown (clears a lot of junk that does not get cleared during a "restart").
I even un-installed and reinstalled FSR, nadda.
I uninstalled FSRecrder and SP1, and reinstalled SP1 and FSR, nadda.
I was considering uninstalling FSX, and starting from scratch (and installing a 1 TB Hard drive) but decided to wait. I'm getting a new computer in December or January, anyway, so I was just messing around a few days ago with tweaking the AB effect fro the Iris F-35, and noticed "add on" was back in the menue bar. That's when I posted that it was back.
This morning, since puzzles like that annoy me, I started messing around to try to figure out what was going on. I had made the F-35 my Default aircraft, changed from the "Bob Hoover" Rockwell Commander. I had made the Commander my default because I had been working on the smoke effect (A common problem with importing a FS9 add-on into FSX is that the [smokesystem] "Y" and "Z" co-ordinates are reversed, and you have to re-tweak them) So, on a hunch, I changed it back to the Rockwell, and "add on" disappeared. Changed my default to a Kingair 300, "add on" is back. Repeated. For some reason, the Rockwell kills the "add on". But wait, there's more! If you record a flight in the kingair (or probably anything else), then replay, but "Change Aircraft" back to the Rockwell, it spawned about fifty feet below the runway, and flies fifty feet below the altitude the original was recorded in.
That's when I happened to log-on and read your post.
How weird is that?
So, if you had FSRecorder before, and it's gone, and you didn't have a "system crash" or some other error message, and have been flying a certain aircraft as default, change your default aircraft back to something else, and see if the "Add On" returns.
