Autogen missing, can't seem to be able to fix

Alright, so while the "new" way of adding autogen isn't working out for me, I think I managed to get to the cause of ACM autogen woes.

In my case, it was simply being I G N O R A N T (apparently avsim doesn't allow this word) of the proper way to install a scenery's autogen libraries. I have all of my add-ons installed via the xml method, using components like 'autogen', 'effects', 'simobjects', etc. I do this all through Lorby's organizer. Apparently, when using ACM, you should not be adding the 'autogen' component to your add-on.xml file or to your scenery library at all. ACM will find the autogen folder in your scenery package, as long as it's on the same level as the scenery and texture folders within the package. So for anybody suffering from similar issues, check to be sure you don't have autogen components active in your scenery. Kityati; maybe this is what was causing problems for you?

Also, does anyone know what the purpose of the autogen.cfg file is? I scanned through the P3D documentation and couldn't really find anything.
