Can someone help me here? I just downloaded and installed the PMDG MD 11 for FSX and a few liveries. I was hoping to start with the tutorial but the Menu bar "Add-Ons" does not include a PMDG menu. Obviously that is needed to follow the tutorial. How do I go about getting that to show up? All that does show is FSUIPC and In Cabin Browser. I did a search in this forum for Add-on but nothing shows. Thanks in advance Peter Coveney

If you are using Vista, try reinstalling with admin rights assigned to the installer so it can modify the MSFS menu bar. I am just guessing but I don't recall this coming up before (so says the guy with a short memory span). Be sure the installer successfully installs the C++ runtime library(ies).

Yes, I am using Vista 32 bit and FSX SP2. I have just tried running the installer exe as Administrator and also turned off my virus protection as well. Unfortunately the result is still the same. I would not have a clue what to do next. How bl...dy frustrating!Can you elaborate on, " Be sure the installer successfully installs the C++ runtime library(ies).". I did not see a mention of that during the install anywhere.There is nothing in the FSX Modules folder relating to PMDG. I tried copying the options dll in there but that was just a wild guess.Thanks,Peter Coveney

During a good install, the installer requires you to first validate with your order id, email and password. Then it installs files, after which it should launch another installer that installs a microsoft C++ Visual runtime library (or libraries if you had 64b). When you reinstall the pmdg the runtime installer usually gives you a repair option instead of install since these are not removed by uninstall. If this isn't working then I recommend an email to pmdg support. Be sure you get an automatic response when you email them to verify they got your message.

Well I got the AddOn Menu back by installing FXS SP2. Not too sure how I ended up at SP1 but I had been trying to solve some other FSX issues not related to PMDG. PC
