Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi John, that is also the actual path to where AFC_Bridge.exe is located for you: "E:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\community\AFC_Bridge\bin\" ? Please start up MSFS and once it is up and running in its main menu check via task manager if you can find "Honeycomb Bridge Module" running. Could also be hidden under the "Flight Simulator.exe" itself as it should have been started by that. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 I started up MSFS and i looked in task manager and i do not see Honeycomb Bridge Module anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 If it is def not running, try to start it up manually from "E:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\community\AFC_Bridge\bin\" once you are in the MSFS main menu. If it is really located there, as you have not answered that question. Then start a flight and see if the LEDs start to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Okay, i loaded it up manually and it worked for that its located in Applications(E) Microsoft Flight Simulator>Community>AFC Bridge>Bin so i guess im going to have to do this every time i open the sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 John: glad the application is basically working so there is nothing fundamentally wrong. But we are trying to get you to the point that you don't have to load it up manually every time. So next question from my side: where is that exe.xml itself located for you and do you use the MSFS Steam or MS Store version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 I am using the Steam Version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 ..where is that exe.xml itself located for you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 This is kinda weird, because i searched exe.xml and it came up with an exe.bacup.xml which is located in C/Users/Jokel/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator then i see an exe.xml which is located in C:Users/Jokel/AppData/Local/Temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 The one in "C:/Users/Jokel/AppData/Local/Temp" users is the one that you attached with your first post, I guess? If yes, please try moving it manually to "C:/Users/Jokel/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator". Afterwards, again, start up MSFS and see if the Honeycomb Bridge Module now automatically comes online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Unfortunatly that did not work i put the XML file into the folder and the honeycomb bridge module is still not coming online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hmm..there seems to be some underlying pathing issue there on your system somewhere. That is why MSFS is not seeing the exe.xml. Just to reconfirm: you took the same exe.xml that you have also attached here in your first post and copied that into "C:/Users/Jokel/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator", correct? Can you make a screenshot of that same folder and also attach it here, so I can see what else is in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 Thanks John, something is somehow weird in that folder of yours. Can you check if you also have the folder "C:\Users\Jokel\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 See thats what im having trouble finding i literally do not see that anywhere, i created a custom install folder when i installed MSFS so im not seeing that.... do you think i should re-install MSFS?

John Rumely 0 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Im only seeing Microsoft Flight Dashboard no idea what that is lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 27, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2021 Well: at least to me it looks like there is something wrong with how MSFS has setup some file paths during install. As e.g. you are showing a "Community" and an "Offical" folder in "C:/Users/Jokel/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator" where I would not expect them to appear. I also don't know what you mean when you say "i created a custom install folder". So, a clean reinstall might indeed help, but of course I cannot guarantee that. For now I am out of options, though. Will probably involve someone else, if a reinstall on your side is not able to fix that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft BenBaron 287 Posted January 28, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted January 28, 2021 Nice you got it solved by reinstalling, John. This really points to some pathing problem on your first install. Have fun with the Bravo. Because we believe this topic has been answered we have closed it. If you have any more questions feel free to open a new topic.
