Hi Jim,
 
I followed your guide to the letter.
Rebuilt the FSX.CFG file Disabled the dll.xml and exe.xml Ran FSX in basic default mode (loaded very quick - ran smooth) ATC worked ok Discovered I had a bad dll.xml file (sent to PMDG for repair) PMDG returned repaired file - inserted - all good FSX now loads to PMDG aircraft in 3 mins (wow) I also checked the Direct X Deleted the Facilities and Scenery indexes Cleaned the Registry (which I do normally) Checked Microsoft.net - running current version Emptied the AppData/Local/temp file Recheck video drivers - all good. Checked the UIautomationcore.dll - all good  
Happy Days!  All is working well at this stage. Load time is very fast across the board in compassion to WIN7 – FSX.
 
I have run the following;
Cessna 172 (default) 
PMDG 737ngx (HUD data loaded ok)
PMDG 777 (200 and 300) loaded ok
PMDG 747 8i loaded ok.
PMDG737ngx (YBBN to YSSY) with TrackIR and Active Sky (all good) 
Why is my TweaksFS-XML File ToolBox finding a missing SimConnect.xml in the AppData file?
 
If you lived in Brisbane I’d buy you beers.
 
Cheers
Richard
