Problem Locating "dll.xml " file

[wolfhound53]

I am new at this and I am having trouble opening file access to enable the Ship Configuration File. I entered the "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX "
line as shown on page 13 of Manual, but with no result. What am I doing wrong?

Appreciate any advice.
Thanks

No worries. Appreciate the question.

Since you specified FSX...

1) Open File Explorer (Right-click on the Windows icon in the bottom left of your screen. From the list that appears, select "File Explorer"). In the address line at the top of File Explorer window (It probably reads, "This PC"), click in that space to highlight the entire line.

2a) Then Type in that space %APPDATA%. Doing so should overwrite what was there.
2b) OPTIONAL METHOD... Right-click on the Windows icon in the bottom left of your screen (similar to step 1 above) . From the list that appears, select "Run". In the field, type %APPDATA% and hit OK. You'll end up in the same spot as "2a" above.

3) In this new File Manager window work your way to "Microsoft" and then "FSX".

4) In the list of files find "dll.xml". Left-click on it once to highlight it. Then Right-click and select "Open With >" and then select Notepad.

Sir,
It Worked. The ship appeared off Oceana. Now I am moving on to the AI carriers install.
Thank you very much for the prompt response.

Always good to hear things worked.

The "exe.xml" file for AI Carriers will be found in the same place as the dll.xml file was.

Here is what my exe.xml file looks like (the <Path>... </Path> line should be edited to match you own system):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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>AICarriers</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
        <Path>E:\Program Files (x86)\AICarriers\AICarriers.exe</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>
