Hi, I've suddenly started to have a problem with my loading of p3d that I think may be simstarter ng related. I've recently been playing around with simstarter ng. Creating scenery loads ONLY to be speed up the overall load time of the sim. I changed the aircraft type and what scenery to load and then started the sim and all seemed fine, but now every time I start p3d it automatically starts up with the aircraft I chose weather I've used simstarter ng or not. I did not save any scenarios and when I start simstarter ng as far as I can tell it loads into the default menu with nothing specific loaded. Any ideas what the cause might be as its getting very frustrating thanks

I also took the opertunity to upgrade to windows 10 pro. Because I was having to do a complete reinstall of p3d I've been checking the dll files in both appdata and program data folders, and I noticed that the DLL.xml file in the appdata folder while also containing the file dll.xml.SIMstarterBackup and exe.xml.SIMstarterBackup are no different to the main DLL an EXE files This is my current DLL.xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 5</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>E:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Modules\FSUIPC5.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> and this is the SIMstarterBackup <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 5</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>E:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Modules\FSUIPC5.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> The EXE.xml file is this <?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>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>as_btstrp_config_manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>as_srv\as_btstrp_config_manager.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> and the exe.xmlSIMstarterBackup is this <?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>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>as_btstrp_config_manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>as_srv\as_btstrp_config_manager.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> Should there be entries made to the DLL and EXE xml files when installing Simstarter onto the system? The program seems to start fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of time with the windows firewall on and off but this had made no difference can you offer any ideas if this may or may not be a problem Thanks I should add this is a copy and paste from the avsim forum

While this is applicable to all my aerosoft product, I will ask on this sub forum as i'm looking specifically at Frankfurt at the moment. All I'm trying to find out is, is there a list somewere that show the latest versions of the software and if there are updates available? Thanks
