August 25, 2025Aug 25 Hello, I noticed today that several addons weren't automatically loading as I would expect. When I went to update GSX, the FSDT installer told me I had a corruption in the exe.xml. It looks like the top of the text box is giving me more information on where the issue is, but unfortunately it is cut off (see image below). The sim is starting fine, but I have to load programs like ifly, couatl, fenix manually. https://imgur.com/6QwtORn Here is my exe.xml file content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0"> <Descr>SimConnect</Descr> <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FenixA320</Name> <Path>D:\Program Files\FenixSim A320\deps\FenixBootstrapper.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC7</Name> <Path>D:\FSUIPC7\FSUIPC7.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-auto</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>TDS Sim Software GTNXi Gauge Integration</Name> <Path>C:\ProgramData\TDS\GTNXi\FlightSimEXE\TDSGTNXiFlightSimEXE.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-FSIntegration</CommandLine> <NewConsole>true</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> <Name>Aerosoft VDGS Driver</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>D:\MSFS24 Community\Community\aerosoft-vdgs-driver\aerosoft-vdgs-driver.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>iFly Plugin</Name> <Path>D:\MSFS24 Community\Community\ifly-aircraft-737max8\Data\Tool\737MAX_Plugin.exe</Path> <CommandLine>auto</CommandLine> <NewConsole>False</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSL Control Center</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>D:\FlightSimLabs\ControlCenter\FSLControlCenter.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-NOTIFY</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Couatl</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>D:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\couatl64\couatl64_boot.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>MDClient</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>E:\Libraries\Documents\Maddog X Files\MSFS 2024\MDClient\MDClient.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> Thanks for any assistance!
