I've just downloaded and installed X-Plane 11.55 and also installed Little Navmap.  I placed the Little Xpconnect folder in the correct place in my X-Plane 11 folder, but my plane still doesn't show on the map nor does Little Xpconnect appear in the X-Plane when I click on the plugins menu.   There's a bunch of threads about putting the Little Xpconnect folder in the right place, and they all say you should see it in the X-Plane Plugins menue, but I haven't found any response as to what to do if it still doesn't appear in the under the plugins menu.  Also, I'm running Windows 10.  Thanks for any help you can offer to help me get it working properly.

The Xpconnect installation is normally no issue on Windows. Are you sure you put it into the right folder? Are file permissions ok?

Can you post the X-Plane Log.txt? Maybe there is a message about plugin loading in there. See pinned thread about how to post files.

Thanks for your reply. \

The error was on my part, of course.  I had downloaded & installed X-Plane 11 from the x-plane.com website for a free trial and it was installed on the PC path that all of the tutorials describe for the plugin installation.  I installed the plugin in that correct folder, and was trying to run X-Plane with nothing showing up.  The additional piece of information was that I purchased and installed the full version of X-Plane through the current Steam sale price. After purchasing and installing the Steam version, I uninstalled X-Plane through control panel in Windows, thinking that this would remove the trial version (it uninstalled something).  The X-Plane folder remained on the C drive after the uninstall which I thought Steam had installed. I also decided to uninstall the Steam X-Plane version and planned to reinstall it. After uninstalling the Steam version, the X-Plane folder was still on my C drive, so I decided to just delete it.  Then after reinstalling the Steam version of X-Plane I didn't find any X-Plane folder to work with for reinstalling the plug-ins.  It's only then that I discovered that there's a "special" Steam path to a X-Plane folder.  After finding this folder, it was a no brainer to install the plugin correctly and verify that all worked great.

It would have been nice if one of these tutorial creators might have mentioned that Steam uses "Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common" as the path for their installations since Steam is such a popular way of getting X-Plane due to their special sale pricing.  However, if I had uninstalled the trial version before installing the full Steam version, I would have discovered the correct path eventually on my own.

Again, thank you for your reply.

 

Glad it's solved.

I'll update the installation instructions and also add the steam location for the next release.
