Cabin Announcements Optional

[Bex1985 0]

Hi, 

short  update, i tried everything you wrote above. 

Im not getting it back to autostart with the sim. 

I gave the command center and msfs admin rights (start as admin), i closed every windows11 firewall, antivirus and so on....

The only improvment i have reached again, after i manually started the command center, i can now start PBE and FS2Crew again from the in game tool bar. 

I dont know why it is not loading the command center. 

Best regards Peter

Please post the contents of your EXE.xml.

Hi Bryan,

 

here is the content of the actual exe.xml. What i´m just thinking about, is there any way that MSFS2020 could disregrad the exe.xml? Is there any config which says:" at startup, load exe.xml" ? 

Thats my though from last night, maybe the sim is disregarding it completely and not loading the exe.xml.

 

Best regards Peter 

Edit: Yesterday i also checked the path in the exe.xml, that it really leads to the command center. Is all fine there.

 For the meals announcment. Im using the headwind a330, which is based on the fbw version 0.7.4, with fs2crew and its working as it should. i get the meals announcment during climb at 26000ft.

I´m using the experimental version of the fbw320....maybe this is the reason why its not working?

 

best regards 

Peter

Hey Bex,

Replace your exe.xml contents:

8 hours ago, Bex1985 said:

<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">

<Descr>Launch</Descr>

<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>FS2Crew Command Center</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\FS2Crew Command Center\FS2CrewCommandCenter.exe</Path>

<CommandLine/>

</Launch.Addon>

</SimBase.Document>

With this NEW content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
	<Descr>Launch</Descr>
	<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
	<Disabled>False</Disabled>
	<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
	<Launch.Addon>
		<Name>FS2Crew Command Center</Name>
		<Disabled>False</Disabled>
		<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\FS2Crew Command Center\FS2CrewCommandCenter.exe</Path>
		<CommandLine></CommandLine>
	</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Then restart MSFS. The Command center read icon should appear in your Windows taskbar, just few minutes before MSFS arrives to the lobby part, just after startup.

Cheers,

Manuel

Good morning Manuel,

i´m sorry to tell, but still no luck.

Its still not starting with the sim itself, during startup.

Sorry

Cheers,

What is the path to your EXE.xml?

Are using using the Windows Store or Steam version of MSFS?

 

[Bex1985 0]

Hi, 

 

i use the ms store version. 

the path of the exe.xml is: G:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-497877945-2918475157-1624483666-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\exe.xml

Hey Bex,

But your MSFS's location isn't here:?

C:\Users\hpben\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\

As per the logs, I can see, it found the UserCfg.opt file in that location. How does MSFS knows its in:

G:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-497877945-2918475157-1624483666-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\

Is there any special setup you make when installing MSFS?

I suspect the reason it's not launching it, maybe it's seeing the wrong exe.xml file?

On the 😄 drive there are only shortcuts which lead you back to the G:drive files. 

I have only one exe.xml and this is located on G: 

G:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-497877945-2918475157-1624483666-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

i dont know why it put folders onto the c drive.

The only thing i do during installtion i tell the MSFS to install on G: MSFS2020

and then it puts all these WPSystem Files and so in there...

I just reinstalled my win11 completly and also the sim and fs2crew... it looks completly identical to the setup before.... 

Cheers Peter

edit: what im just thinking about, i can try to put the whole files from G:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-497877945-2918475157-1624483666-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

fixed to 

C:\Users\hpben\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\

so the system doesnt have to go to the c drive shortcuts which leads it back to g:

so it will find the files already on c drive....

il give it a try and let you know

 

 

Edit2:

 

Sadly didnt work either..

As a test, try installing the freeware version of FSUIPC for MSFS.

See if it can locate your EXE.xml to autostart.

 

[Bex1985 0]

ok fsuipc isnt starting too.... im using a fresh copy of windows and of the sim... 

[byork 2,259]

Is there an FSUIPC entry on your exe.xml?

Then it's likely MSFS isn't reading the EXE.XML or it's not finding it.

Manuel
