Hello James,

Have you checked your dll.xml file to make sure that the GPS Module entry has been made.

Hello James,

Have you checked your dll.xml file to make sure that the GPS Module entry has been made.

I have v1.22 that worked correctly for a month or so, but I had a conflict between the Wilco 737PIC and all PDMG add-ons. PMDG restructured the DLL.XML file to correct the problem caused by Wilco. Now the AirbusX has the '0.' that is frozen in the scratchpad. I downloaded the above DLL.XML and replaced my existing file with that download . No Joy. Still have the same problem with the AirbusX but PMDGs work. I cannot clear the 0., just a click sound.

Any ideas? What and how would I see if the GPS Module entry has been made as Shaun suggested. If yes, then what? If no, then what?

Airbusx is grounded until fixed.

Thanks.

Ray

I downloaded the above DLL.XML and replaced my existing file with that download .

This was your first mistake! Each dll.xml file is individual for each system.

But very interesting to see that a PMDG product is the reason that your Airbus doesn't work anymore. Maybe the reason for many other problems.

But normally if another tool makes changes to the dll.xml it makes a copy of that file.

Anyway, to see if your file contains the necessary entries, check it for the following lines:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>GPS Module</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>Modules\GPSModule.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

But when you just copied Alan Do's file to your system you might have messed up your installation.

Hello Ray,

Which PMDG aircraft was it and do you know exactly what changes they made to your dll.xml or did they tell you what they had altered.
As it worked before and it was altered it may be handy to know exactly what was changed.

Hello Ray,

It was the 747-400 and MD-11.
There is something at the PMDG support site that explains that the WilcoPIC add-on do not use proper technique when adding to the DLL.XML file - something to do with structure. That screws the file up for all the other folks including PMDG. They just offer the service of properly structuring your DLL.XML file for all users.

I have a DLL.XML file that is named "Prior to AirbusX installation" Maybe I can start there.

Update - This is from the Knowledge Base at PMDG concerning the dll.xml troubleshooting.

"Several addons (most notably several by Wilco/FeelThere) corrupt the FSX dll.xml file, which can render inoperative any addon that relies on dlls loaded from it, including the PMDG 747-400 and MD-11. Numerous attempts at getting these developers to fix this issue have gone unanswered. This article explains the source of the problems and how to fix it yourself. If you're a PMDG customer and are not comfortable trying this yourself, simply send us a copy of your dll.xml file in a support ticket and we'll fix it for you."

When looking at the actual dll.xml I see the GPS Module section is present as the last entry. Now what? But, I don't find any reference to AirbusX.

thanks. Ray

I took an older dll.xml file and added the GPS Module section. Still did not fix the 0. problem. rats.

Everything about the AirbusX installation appears normal except this nagging MCDU glitch. I sure hope I can avoid a total reinstall. Help.

Hello Ray,

Do you have a program that will allow you to edit the dll.xml right down to the basics. So no entries are in it, then copy and paste the GPS module entry into it and then check it.
Remember to save the original to a safe place first.

I can do that with notepad, can't I? I'll try and see. Thanks.

OK, I made an only GPS Module enty dll.xml and did the FSX Load Cessna/Switch to AirbusX Cold and Dark Start. Absolutely no improvement - still have the stuck 0. and can not make an entry or CLR. Rats.

My min dll.xlm file is attached. for review. Any Suggestions?

Still dead in the water. Grounded until fixed.

OK, UNCLE. I give up. I don't think this one can be fixed at this rate.

I'm ready for an UNINSTALL of the AirbusX and a total REINSTALL. Any cautions or concerns? I have the v1.22 update downloaded but will start with the CD then upgrade? Sound like a plan?

An Uninstall and reinstall from the Cd with a follow up upgrade to the v1.22 download did the trick for me. Took about 30 minutes. I should have just bit the bullet and did this two weeks ago and saved all the time and frustration. If you have a problem like this one my recommendaion is to just cut your loses and do a new install.

Hello Ray,

I'm glad it worked out for you.

Thanks Shaun, all is fine now, except for the blinking ID and FREQ in the lower left corner of the Secondary (Right) Flight Display. Wish we could get that fixed.

Hello Ray,

I think I saw a post about that issue and someone saying it could be a graphical setting on the card.

[viruly reader]

I've had this 0 in the mcdu a few times and got rid of it by pressing "pause" a few times.
Maybe this helps also??

Hi guys I just fell into this mess after installing the Wilco Feel there E-jets. I have reainstalle the Airbus V1.22 and still have the problem. How did you finally fix this by just a reinstall. I have not messed with my xml file and dont know how to or where to. Any help????

[vali]

Interesting,

I usually don't have this problem but I have seen it also once on the MCDU, when FSX was paused. In normal flying I never seen it.

[Marcanthonystorm]

Hello Ray,

Shaun I know how to fix this problem. I had the issue come up after I installed the ERJ Jets and no matter how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled the Airbus X, it didnt fix the problem but I found something
in the dll.xml file that was the root of the evil. If your interested let me know. Mine is working now and no other problems of any kind.

Hello Marc,

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed and appreciated to the causes of this as it may well help plenty of others to resolve the issue

Hey Shaun, would it be too much to make me a bigger part of the team at Aerosoft forum. The answer after searching for a bit is in the Dll.XML file. Who ever installs the ERJ Jets and I did, after its installed it does make an error on the Dll.XML page.
At the very bottom where it says <Simbase.Document> which is suppose to be the last entry on the dll.xml page, the ERJ Jets seem to add a letter or other entry right after <Simbase.Document>. So you will see this for example:

<Simbase.Document>
R


or may an "=" or anything else that does not belong there.


I removed that R and the Airbus X now works perfectly. When I reinstalled the ERJ Jets on my system after making sure the Airbus X was fine, I saw that it entered the = sign instead of R. So I removed it knowing what it will
do to my Airbus X and Im not having any issues. The ERJ Jets when installed will throw in a little SNAFU to mess up the dll.xml file so you have to be careful. Thats the answer and I hope you take my request seriously.

I do help a lot of people with FSX with issues regarding sceneries and aircraft and even setting FSX up correctly to attain good FPS. Thanks Shaun for responding back so soon..

I also resently had this "0." problem that put the use of my beloved Airbus X on jeopardy.. All my problems began after Installed FSDreamTeam sceneryfile that came with an addon manager...for my configuration it messed a whole deal. No addon or FsRecorder in the fsx menubar...all simply gone...and the dll. xml file was also corrupted by the scenery installation that resulted with this FMC problem with Airbus X. I have tons of addons and never experienced anything like this!

I had to "ping" the SimConnect to make the addon menu available cause no re-istallation helped and restore the older dll.xml file cause it later came clear that the GPS parameters in the file were no longer there causing the FMC scratchpad to jam.

Hi Planespotting.

Deactivate the user account control on the control panel of 7. Click on the User Account icon and then on the Modify Parameters of the user account. Put all the cursors down and restart.

Uninstall the Airbus and reinstall it.

Do a search on Google for fsx dll.xml it should tell you where it goes.

The gpsmodule entry was not added there is a post on the Airbus X forum on how to add it.

Hallo.
'
I have same problem. Where can I find dll.xml in FSX?

Kjell

[Matt_Smith]

dll.xml is located in c:\users\your username\app data\roaming\microsoft\FSX

You will need to set windows to show hidden files and folders other wise you will never find it. For help on getting windows to show hidden files and folders try http://www.google.com

[Rynis123]

I can not find dll.xml on my computer.
