I recently installed Orbx`s "Pacific North West" scenery and then noticed that apart from Ultimate Traffic 2 the remaining contents of my Addon Pulldown Menu no longer appeared. I asked for help in the Orbx forum and was advised by one of the developers that PNW did not use the dll.xml file where the missing programmes are located. I checked the file and they (FS Discover & FSUIPC) were still there in the correct format.I have reinstalled both these programmes back into FSX without then showing up and since added another programme (DBS Airport GPS) whichis in the dll.xml file but not in theAddon Pulldown Menu.I would be most grateful for any help in repstoring this pulldown menuMany thanksGeorge

It sounds very much like the DLL.XML file has been corrupted by some installation or other. If you'd like to paste the file into a message here I will check it for you. You might like to also see if there's an EXE.XML file there too as that is also scanned by SimConnect for programs to be loaded.RegardsPete

Wow Pete thats what I call a quick reply :( many thanks.The dll.xml is as follows and yes there is an EXE.xml which has the UT2 and which shows up in the pull downHope you are able to help and once again many thanks - George<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSDiscover!</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\FSDiscover!\FSDiscoverFSX.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FeelThere PIC737X Helper</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad <Path>FeelThere\B737\PIC737XH.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>DBS Airport GPS</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <DLLStartName>module_init</DLLStartName> <DLLStopName>module_deinit</DLLStopName> <Path>Dbs\dbs.aptGPS.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon></SimBase.Document>

The dll.xml is as follows and yes there is an EXE.xml which has the UT2 and which shows up in the pull down

That explains why UT2 is okay. There's an error in the DLL.XML file, in the "FeelThere PIC737X Helper" addon: <Launch.Addon> <Name>FeelThere PIC737X Helper</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad <Path>FeelThere\B737\PIC737XH.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon>There's a '>' character missing at the end of </ManualLoadTry adding that and saving.Make sure you are editing with notepad or an ordinary text editor -- NOT Word or Wordpad or any other Word Processor.RegardsPete
