Simviation Forums

Hi Guys.
Sorry if this has come up before but I can't find the answer with search so here goes.
I downloaded USS Nimitz V2 from SimV and it recommends AIcarriers2 which I also downloaded from here but despite following all the readme instructions I can't get AI carriers to appear in my add-on drop down in FSX.
I'm sure I had this working on a previous install but since a hard drive failure I haven't had it installed.
I have Java 1.8 and I gather the minimum requirement is 1.5.

Any help appreciated.

Zaphod.

P.S.
I have FSX Gold.

No Java needed version.

BTW with this I can use carriers with FSX SE.

Did the installer create a exe.xml file in the appdata roaming/Microsoft/fsx folder? If it didn't look inside the manual install zip for instructions, use thesample_EXE.xml open with notepad check that the path to aicarriers exe is correct, rename sample_EXE.xml to just the last bit EXE.xml and place in computername/appdata roaming/Microsoft/fsx folder. It should appear in the drop down menu or use shift + J.

I agree the .NET version of AICarriers is much easier to use.
The Java version was a bit too troublesome for my taste (although I could get it to work correctly)

The Java is a open door to your computer, I would recommend you get it off your machine as quick as possible. I had it for the purpose of having carriers on demand, once I found a way without it I uninstalled Java.

Sorry it's taken so long to get back but work etc. has kept me busy.
I'm at my wits end with this. Below is a copy of the the contents of my EXE.xml file contained in;
c:\%appdata%\microsoft\FSX\EXE.xml
The path to AICarriers.exe is correct.

<?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>True</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Name>AICarriers</Name>
<Path>C:\Programfiles(86)\AICarriers\aicarriers.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>-nogui</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Any ideas?

Zaphod sent you a pm for you to compare with mine but you might want to change this line
<Launch.ManualLoad>True</Launch.ManualLoad>
to
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
this bit is also different in my xml
-<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="Launch">

Hi Dave.
Thanks for all the help.
Sorry to say nothing so far has worked. I can't help thinking that there's something else going on here. Even if I manually run the AICarrier.exe with the sim also running the drop down doesn't appear. I think I'll try removing all references to AICarrier and start over.
Watch this space.

I installed manually and running it FSX Gold in W7 64 with no problems with the ai carriers folder inside my fsx folder, I have 251 objects in the cfg running with no problems good luck.

Contents of Ai carriers folder


Exe.xml

Does the aicarriers.exe have full admin rights? or W10 the problem.

Have you tried the non java version Rick suggested?

Yes Dave, I tried it but the same result.

I did think for a minute that I'd cracked it as I copied your install and .xml entries and when I started FSX I was asked to authorize the module which I did. However I still get no aicarriers in the drop down menu, only fsuipc.
On the verge of giving up.

Zaphod.

Not sure that I can help you I have it installed and working on more than one computer. It could be the exe.xml file if I remove it I get no entries and aicarriers does not work. I installed manually from the manual install zip and used the example xml and changing the fsx path, renamed to just exe.xml and placed in the C:\Users\PC name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX folder.
