STEAM PAYLOAD MANAGER HELP

Our new Learjets 35A V4.2 or higher now has a new installer that will install the DLL and DLL.XML entry info for our "PAYLOAD MANAGER" as long as your steam installation is in the default location which is the C drive / steam folder.

If you have FSX Steam installed in another location then you will need to add some info to the dll.xml file. Steam keeps this dll.xml located in the main sim folder rather than in the Windows appdata location.

First load the aircraft and see if the payload manager works by opening the popup panel and changing fuel or passengers payload. If it does not work then you will need to follow the instruction below.

================================================================================================

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Locate the file called "dll.xml" using the link below to find the folder AppData this file.

"Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\ConfigData\AppData"

2. Open this file in notepad. Copy the code below. Now paste it right above the last line of code. The last line will show </SimBase.Document>

Notice each entry starts with  <Launch.Addon> and closes with  </Launch.Addon>  and the entire xml needs to have the closing </SimBase.Document>.

  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>XMLTools</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>XMLTools.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>

3. Save file. Done!
