Accufeel not in FSX Menu
Accufeel not in FSX Menu
This is an odd one. I have just done a complete reinstall of Windows 7 64bit, and am running FSX-SE on a separate SSD drive to the OS. I don't have P3d or any other sim on the drive, only FSX-SE. I have AV and firewall disabled and have dull admin rights. I have tried twice installing Accufeel once into the FSX directory and secondly into it''s own directory on the FSX drive but separate to the OS drive. For some reason it is not showing in the addons FSX menu. The other thing that happens, is that when FSX starts, I get the security warning message asking for me to accept the install. Help would be appreciated.

Re: Accufeel not in FSX Menu
Hello,
I would check the FAQ here;
http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtop ... 89&t=33313
It sounds like you may need to manually add the lines in or correct any errors. The syntax for the dll.xml in the sim is unfortunately somewhat known to become messed up and is very sensitive to syntax errors.
thanks,
Lewis

REQUIREMENTS
Your Microsoft Flight Simulator X must either up to Microsoft FSX Service Pack 2 or the Microsoft Acceleration expansion pack installed.
If you do not have either, then first install Microsoft Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1:

I get a "Bad Argument #2" error every few minutes
This is a known issue that happens if you move your CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE slider to the extreme right. To fix this make sure you download the latest update (v2.091) here;
viewtopic.php?f=90&t=34173
The FSX Add-On / Accu-Feel Setup pull down menu is missing.
1. Using a text editor like Notepad, open your C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml file and verify these entries exist:
(If you cannot find the dll.xml, In WINDOWS, open your CONTROL PANEL / Appearance and Personalization / Folder Options / View / then click on "Show hidden files, folders, and drives)
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>A2A Feel</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>Modules\A2A_Feel.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>AccuFeelMenu</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>Modules\AccuFeelMenu.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
2. Open your [FSX Install] / Modules folder and verify that these two dlls are there:
- AccuFeelMenu.dll
- A2A_Feel.dll
NOTE:
When you first ran FSX after installing Accu-Feel, you should have been prompted to load the new DLL. If you didn't receive this prompt, then Accu-Feel is not loading.

Hi Lewis, as per my previous post, all seems to be fine now. Except when I start FSX I continue to get the security warning asking if I want to run the program. This happens every time I start FSX. Any idea how I can cure this? Cheers.
Re: Accufeel not in FSX Menu
No problem, got it sorted. Went into the Accufeel exe and altered the compatibility mode in properties to Win7. Seems to be OK now.
