• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi all,

While making some changes to the code, I just realized that P3D support is not correct yet. The tool doesn't differentiate between v1 and v2 correctly. I'll try to correct that soon in a next test release.

Probably time to reinstall P3D v2 myself here as well, just haven't come to that after doing a fresh install for my computer.
 
Hi Arno

I tried to install ACM on my Prepar3Dv2.5 sim but no luck it is not recognized as an add-pn like FSUIPC or Instant Scenery for instance

Here below is the log file that was created

18:56:44 | AutogenConfigurationMerger 1.0.5691.29583
18:56:44 | FSPath: D:\Scenery Design\AutogenConfigurationMerger
18:56:44 | Error! Stopping...
18:56:44 | D:\Scenery Design\AutogenConfigurationMerger\fsx.exe
18:56:44 | à System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(String fileName)
à ASToFra.AutogenConfigurationMerger.AutogenConfigurationMerger.GetSceneryCFG()
à ASToFra.AutogenConfigurationMerger.AutogenConfigurationMerger..ctor(String[] args)

As you said back in July that P3D was not yet supported I guess this is the issue I am dealing with right ?

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for testing. The latest beta should work in P3D, but it wasn't heavily tested yet.

I'll check the error to see what goes wrong here.

ACM is not a module like FSUIPC, it runs in the background and doesn't show anything, like a menu, in FS.

Arno,

thanks for the reply. If that can help when I ran P3D I was not prompted by any message asking permission to run ACM as if ACM was not launched. I checked the path several time but I think it is correct.

Philippe
 
You made the entry in exe.xml for P3D?
 
From the log it seems the P3D path was not found correctly.

You can try to run it from the command prompt like this:

AutogenConfigurationMerger -install P3DV2
 
I made the entry in the dll.xml ( i cannot see any exe.xml file in the location that you indicated )
 
Arno

I just realized my mistake here ... Given that I had no exe.xml created I just made one and copied the line that you suggested.

Given the log file that was created I think it worked ...although I got no message from P3D asking me to give permission to run ACM

Philippe
 
The install option I mentioned does create the xml file. In the final version the installer will take care of that.
 
Hi again Arno,

FYI the ACM install I made is on Windows 10 and Prepar3D v2.5 build 12945. So that combination looks ok so far.

The only thing that seems not working properly is the backup of the old autogen configuration files that you mention in the user's manual para 7 (Troubleshooting).

In the mentioned folder only the log file is visible.

Philippe
 
Does the log mention changes are saved? Only in that case a backup is made. So maybe no changes were made on your machine.
 
If all definitions from the different addon sceneries are already present in the global configurations they will not be overwritten by the tool.
 
this is likely what happened the first time I tried.

So I did the test with the basic P3D v2.5 autogen configuration and the France VFR AGX definition and it worked well (ACM generated the backup configuration).

So we can say that so far ACM seems to work OK using P3D V2.5 and WIN 10

thanks again Arno
 
Thanks for testing. Good to hear it now works. I have already changed some code to prevent that initial crash you had.
