PSXseecon 30.3: Can't get it to work with P3Dv5.3

[TallTanBarbie 19]

I had to do a total re-install of Windows on my sim machine and I'm trying to get PSXseecon to work with a virgin P3D setup and I can't get it to work.

I'm getting this error message:

"43: Automatic search has not found any liveries, switch off aoutomatic and set parameters [Manual 4.3]"

There is no section 4.3 in the documentation.  I still have my old FLAi files backed up on a previous drive and those are installed in SimObjects/Airplanes as before, but PSX doesn't seem to find them now as it did previously.  Putting the path in manually in the parameters.xml file also didn't work.  How can I get this to work?

Post your Log.txt please, then I can tell you what is wrong, or  see below:

EDIT: BTW it's is not a good idea to put your FLAi aircraft in the Simobjects/Airplanes folder while that folder is meant for user flyable aircraft. 
You better install them in a separate folder outside P3D, add them to P3D with the add-onm.xml method and they will be found automatically by PSXT.

Moved FLAi files out of SimObjects/Airplanes, trying to find out how to manually add via .xml.

Here you go...

You should add FLAi to P3D first with the add-on.xml method:

Hello...once I figured out how to make the .xml file for the Documents/P3D v5 Add-ons directory, I got it to work.  Here's my example with my old FLAi files on the L: drive:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="5,5" id="add-on">

  <AddOn.Name>FLAI</AddOn.Name>

  <AddOn.Description>FLAI - Next Generation Model Matching</AddOn.Description>

  <AddOn.Component>

    <Category>SimObjects</Category>

    <Path>L:\FLAi\SIM\SimObjects\Airplanes</Path>

  </AddOn.Component>

  <AddOn.Component>

    <Category>Effects</Category>

    <Path>L:\FLAi\SIM\Effects</Path>

  </AddOn.Component>

  <AddOn.Component>

    <Category>Texture</Category>

    <Path>L:\FLAi\SIM\Texture</Path>

  </AddOn.Component>

</SimBase.Document>
