Thanks Ken for clarifying that! As to using Spad.next, that may conflict with my Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS, which has the capability to download a specific profile for each A/C I fly. I'm just not sure how that would work? Once the custom profile is downloaded and executed inside the HOTAS processor, the only software running is the special USB driver for the HOTAS hardware.

Ken, Thanks for your original post...........I am considering using vPilot as you have suggested as I have a network, but I'm not quite sure how vPilot interacts with P2A? Why do I need vPilot if the combination of FSUIPC and WideFS is capable of sending the PTT character I have chosen to send to the client PC across the network? Pressing the pre-defined FSUIPC joystick button on the server PC where P3D is located will send it across the network? Do I need to install vPilot on both the client and server? I'm a little confused. Bill Clark

Great News Clive, I look forward to trying this out once released. Bill Clark

To All, I went back and tried it with Notepad and was successful....................it appears everything has to be perfect or else it will not work. So I must have had a mistake in it. I did, as before, use ANSI Again, thanks, Bill

Andre, I apologize as I missed your post. I acted on Vic's automated response first and missed yours buried further down in my email stack. Yes, I took your modified file, renamed it EXE.XML and pasted it back into the folder I had originally taken it from. So after installing Java, Javier's carrier was available in the "Add-On" pull down menu so I was able to launch it and overfly to see it was moving and appeared to be properly configured. Once I install a carrier plane into P3D, I'll verify that the catapults and arresting gear works............I see no reason why it shouldn't. Once again, I thank you for taking your valuable time and making the modification for me!! Cheers, Bill Clark I'm not sure why my efforts failed, as I have done this before unless I need to do something different with Windows 10?

Vic, Which tool should I be using for this task? Notepad or NotePad ++ Bill Clark

Hi Poppet, I running P3D v3.35 under Win 10 (a recent clean install). You are probably correct about using the wrong header code. The file I'm attempting to modify is the Exe.xml located in the AppData\Roaming section. I have tried using NotePad and Notepad++ unsuccessfully so far. The file I'm trying to modify by adding AICarriers looks like this below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>EXE.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>GoFlight Hardware Interface</Name> <Path>C:\GoFlight\GFDevP3D.exe</Path> <CommandLine></CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> What I want to add is the AICarrier segment from an older exe.xml file below from my P3D v2 Win 7 setup to the file above: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>exe.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Couatl</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>AICarriers</Name> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>as_btstrp_config_manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>as_srv\as_btstrp_config_manager.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>GoFlight Hardware Interface</Name> <Path>C:\GoFlight\GFDevP3D.exe</Path> <CommandLine> </CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> However, whenever I make changes and save the file, it ends up looking something like this: Launch EXE.xml False False False False GoFlight Hardware Interface C:\GoFlight\GFDevP3D.exe False False AICarriers C:\Program Files (x86)\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe -nogui So which app do you use, Notepad or Notepad ++? Bill Clark

Hi All, I'm trying to add Javier's Carrier to P3D v3.35. I have it installed, but I have been unable to edit the EXE.XML file to add the necessary entries for the carrier. For whatever reason, when I go to save the edited results from NotePad, the saved file gets corrupted and does not look anything like what it should. Is Notepad the correct tool, or should I be using something else? Bill lark

Jim, I did not know that was a copyright rule violation! I gather the link is ok? I hope Spirit Flyer can get access..............it seems to me there should be an email address he can send a message about this? One suggestion to all, get a loose leaf note book with removable blank pages and note each website you frequent with the Title (website name), email address/handle/userID, and of course password. I started mine a few years ago and I'm up to 98 individual websites or forums. This includes a ton of sim websites, but also medication, newspapers/magazines, etc. This saves a lot of grief. Bill Clark

I was about to copy and post, but Mike beat me to it. Stephen, have you tried emailing Orbx to see if they can help you? Bill Clark

Hi, Take a look at this link about progress at Orbx on the Migration Issues, new store, and more: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/117153-orbx-sitrep-migration-olc-na-store-etc/ Bill Clark

I downloaded the latest Navigraph files for some of my A/C and other utilities. Unfortunately, Navigraph has yet to include a version for P2A. I hope they do so soon. Bill

I hope the results are positive........Navigraph has been my first choice. Bill

TPerson, I tried expand the Cache to 1024, but it didn't help. My browser used to work fine before, but now the best I can do is 720i. Bill

I could try Firefox, but just don't understand why IE doesn't support this? Bill
