I have tried different ways (entries) to create an xml file that P3DV5.4 would recognize for a freeware helo from DoDo Sim.

I have it installed in my Addons folder.

<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
    <AddOn.Name>DodoSim 206</AddOn.Name>
    <AddOn.Description>DodoSim 206</AddOn.Description>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>SimObjects</Category>
        <Path>SimObjects\Rotorcraft</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>Effects</Category>
        <Path>Effects</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>   
</SimBase.Document>

This one was not recognized in P3DV5.4

Hi , this is what I have in V6 and works OK, you need a gauges addon an copy the gauges from P3D , no effects I found.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
  <AddOn.Name>DodoSim-206</AddOn.Name>
  <AddOn.Description>DodoSim 206 V2</AddOn.Description>
 
  <AddOn.Component>
    <Category>Gauges</Category>
    <Path>Gauges</Path>
  </AddOn.Component>
 
  <AddOn.Component>
    <Category>SimObjects</Category>
    <Path>SimObjects\Rotorcraft</Path>
  </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document>

Gauges required...

DodoSim206.gau

Dodosim206HiDef.CAB

SimIcons.cab

SimIcons1024.cab

Your xml coding works, Thank you.

Only gauges supplied were DodoSim206.gau  and Dodosim206HiDef.CAB

and seems to work with just those two files. It always amazes me  how the xml will find

the four model folders.
