AAO startup issue

Featured Replies

Hello, I bought AAO with Simmarket last week (before that, i tested the demo version without issue). I use it for my Stream Deck XL, with MSFS 2024 (store version).

 

It worked very well, until yesterday. Now, when I launch MSFS, the app doesn't autostart now.

When I open Task Manager, I can see AAO running in background, but I can't open the user interface. Eventually, it will open by itself after 15-20 minutes

 

I tried uninstall/reinstall the app. Also checked with the demo version, but I still have the same issue. 

 

I checked the startup log in Appdata/Local/LORBY_SI

I don't know if it's an issue with some hardware listed in the log.

Thanks for the help !

Yes, this sounds like an issue with incompatible hardware. The question is, why now? Did you get anything new? 

When AAO is open, before doing anything else, go to "Hardware->Device Blacklist". Move everything into the list on the right with the "Ignore" button that isn't a game controller that you want to actually use in AAO. Ignoring also includes all mice, keyboards and the StreamDeck - AAO talks to those through other means. Then restart AAO.

Thanks for the quick answer. No, I didn't change anything (or at least, I don't remember). I used the sim yesterday, AAO was started with the sim. Then, I closed the sim + AAO, and at the next launch, I had this problem.

 

I did the device blacklist, it's shorter to start, but it's still take many time (10 minutes to launch). I moved everything into the list on the right, including the Streamdeck.

 

Here the new startup log

ROG Delta II is my headset, AURA LED seems to be a LED controller with my motherboard. But I don't know what is the three HID Devices (périphérique fournisseur). Maybe something related to my keyboard/mouse. All these devices doesn't appear in the "device blacklist" menu.

 

In game, everything work very well, I tested my streamdeck with a profile for the FSS Embraer 190 wIthout issue.

But I don't understand why it take 10 minutes for the "acquiring devices now" stage on the startup log.

That can't be right, there are still devices in "Found Device..." that don't belong there. They should all be on the blacklist.There should only be your joystick and TQ on the left. Why is that?

You can force AAO to blacklist absolutely everything by starting the exe manually with the command line argument "-blacklistall" After that, your shouldn't see any entry with "Found Device". You can then get your joystick and TQ back using the dialog.

One of your HID devices doesn't like to be queried, even if it is just about the name and GUID. That can happen. The real question is, why this happens now and not before. Something must have changed on your computer?

Okay... I don't understand why, but... now it's finally work, the app start within 3-5 secondes. The only thing I did since my last message (after blacklist the devices listed in the menu) was turn off my PC before going to sleep...

Here the new start log. It seems the problem with the HID devices is gone.

The only remaining issue is now, AAO doesn't start automatically with the sim, I need to start it manually. I have the option activated in the "application" menu. I don't know if it's a problem with my exe.xml file, as I saw on others topics that some people had the same issue with this.

I awlays do it the other way around, AAO starts the sim on my PC. That way I don't have to apply tricks to run it "As Administrator".
Instead of "Start automaticall with the sim" I have "Always Start as Admin", "Connect automatically" and "Start simulator before connecting" active in my Application menu.

I have seen those exe.xml files before. They are invalid, this is a repurposed SimConnect.xml file. No idea why they are working at all.
Other than that, the entry for AAO looks fine to me.

OK... everything was well 2 days ago, but the initial issue is back (and I don't know why). AAO works but it needs 10 minutes to start.

Here is the new startup log. It seem it's the same problem with one of a HID device.

As you can see, all the devices that appear in the "device blacklist" window are in the ignored list. Despite that, I don't know AAO finds others devices.

You can force AAO to blacklist absolutely everything by starting the exe manually with the command line argument "-blacklistall" After that, your shouldn't see any entry with "Found Device". You can then get your joystick and TQ back using the dialog.

At this point, this solution looks like the best thing to do. How can I do to start the app manually ? With the Windows+R shortcut ? If yes, I just need to write LorbyAxisAndOhs_MSFS2024"-blacklistall" ? Sorry for the dumb question, I never use this menu.
