Hell if I know...Ill try to find where this is located, but I never had to dig for it so im a bit lost as to its location... :-/...but here is my updated xml.dll file

oh not sure if this is relivent but im on windows XP pro...and if you mean C:\Documents and Settings\MY USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX as the location then no...if you mean where the game actually is, I believe so, it should already be there unless FSX got stupid and removed it...

Yes, that was the directory if you are using XP (same as where the fsx.cfg)

This is the blind leading the blind, and I'm by NO means an expert at any of this...but in my appdata path (same place as fsx.cfg) I have a simconnect.xml file.

keep advising...there isnt much that you could messup that i wouldnt be able to recover from (thank god I got a three blu-ray disks chock full of my addons) so all I have to do is drag and drop stuff, its all as it should be addon wise...its the tool bar I need to get working which has never wanted to work right...

EDIT: ok got the tools menu showing up (finially), now im gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling the recorder and go from there

[jaime]

ok uninstalled and reinstalled the recorder and its still not showing up in the menu...do I need this FSUIPC thing? if not what more can I do inshort of reinstalling FSX???

Oh and snippyfsxer...thanks, you helped me track down a bit of the issue (a few enteries got reset from false to true and you made me relize I need to check my enteries again...shich now are set properly so now i just need to get the recorder going...ideas suggestions or comments? anyone? help?


not sure what else I need...how do I tell if I need any thing else?

[snippyfsxer]

I wish I knew how to help out with this because I went through the same darned thing several months ago (nothing showed up in the addon menu pulldown).

[jaime]

now its not FSX...its microshaft for ya...and I agree with ya also snippy...damnd M$...
