Activating FSDT KDFW CTD P3Dv4.3

[Jackaroo05 13]

Hello- after restarting my sim after registering KDFW for P3Dv4.3, when it asks me to activate, it ctds and doesn't activate. Nothing I can do about it. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried to get assistance at the fsdt forum by any chance?

No- but I trust avsim more than I trust here though. @okupton

I’d give it a shot. I could be wrong, I think you’ll probably get a faster answer there.

and  at least  the  right  answer  and  solution  to your  issue,  and  why  would  you  not  trust  the  dev  himself  at  the fdst  forum

What does it say when you click on the Addon Manager in the P3D Menu?  Does it show that FSDT KDFW is installed and active?  Did you download the latest installer instead of using a backup copy of the file?  The installers were updated and now also include an icon for FSDT Live Update.  The FSDT Live Update will check to make sure your FSDT product(s) is properly installed and up-to-date. Is it showing up properly in your Prepar3D v4 Add-ons folder in your Documents folder?  If you have Lorby-Si's Addon Organizer, is it showing it is properly installed?  Did you go to the Tools menu in the Addon Organizer and click on Check Encoding and make sure all of your addons, your P3D.cfg, scenery.cfg, addon.cfg, etc., are properly encoded?  If not, it will crash. 

If I have an issue with a FSDT program, I simply go to their site and download the latest Standalone Addon Manager and install that and that usually fixes things.  But, first make sure it is showing up properly in the Addon Manager Menu within P3DV4 and it shows it is installed and active and you cannot click on register serial.  If that box is active, then you need to activate the serial again.  I'm really surprised when I see individuals having issues with the installation of FSDT software.  I have a feeling it is Windows security which creates a lot of havoc for some and maybe even Windows Defender or an anti-virus program.

Best regards,

Jim
