Peter, Travis. In my fun and games with this issue, I uninstalled FScaptain and did a clean install. I used the full install and it didn't install the shortcut icons (administrator,fcdu,acars installer, or the tutorial). I don't know if this makes a difference, but thought I should mention this. I had to manually make a shortcut icon for administrator, fcdu, and acars installer. Oh am using latest 1.6.3 version.

Peter, Travis. I want to thank you for your concern about this issue. I am able to run the program all be it without the addon menu. everything works okay as long as on the opening screen I say not to run the third party addon "fsx/fscaptain/bin/fscaptain.dll. It is strange, that when I delete fscaptain.dll from the fsx.cfg trusted area, and start FSX and when the third party thing comes up I say yes, and then it asks me if I want to run (yes) and then (trust) FSX crashes. Open again and say no and everything works except addon menu. FSX.CFG does then show FScaptain.dll in the trusted section. Anyway everthing else works. Hi Leen, are you using the internal FCDU or the external one? During three agonizing weeks in May and June I tried a lot of tricks - everything I could think of - but nothing helped. In particular, - I made a fresh install, too. Several times, with different FSCaptain versions, but to no effect (except me losing my career ) - I noticed that the internal FCDU appeared to work when I clicked "no". The reason is that there are two FSCaptain.dll: one in FSCaptain\bin and one in Modules. The latter works, but I had the impression that some features were not working properly. If it does work for you: GREAT Cheers, Peter

Peter, I use the internal FCDU and everything seems to work. I too lost my career and started over. The dll is in every folder it is required to be in. As long as everything works, I will continue my new career.

The DLL in the \Modules\ folder is for FS9 use - it doesn't do SimConnect, etc.
Now if you're running FSX, what if you copied the \bin\ folder DLL to \Modules\?
I'm just speculating... I don't know if that would be a good idea or not....

The Fscaptain.dll already exists in modules. Deleted and copied and pasted from bin to modules (no difference). Went back to original and copied from module to bin but not change. The only things I don't get are FScaptain in add on menu in FSX. Also with full install, I don't get ICON's created for Administrator, FCDU (external), ACARS installer, and the tutorial. Every thing else works fine.

Leen,
you're my hero! I was battling this for three weeks, but you slayed the dragon. I can't remember if I tried to manipulate the registry. I had an unrelated problem (Win 10 update impossible) with a non-flightsim program at about the same time and changed the registry to conquer this problem, but I am not sure if I also looked for FSCaptain entries.
Maybe we should make this thread a sticky note, it might come in handy again.
Congratulations! Peter

Leen, That's an excellent catch! I wonder if this is the source of the "SimConnect won't give me love" frustrations that have dogged many developers over the years? (Where a customer is asked by FSX one day to trust a long-running add-on, and from that point on, the add-on never wants to load.) Maybe we should make this thread a sticky note, it might come in handy again. Done!!

Leen,Peter,Travis I have encountered the same problem and was running ASN when it all started. Please could you explain step by step how to solve this issue as it seems it was resove by manipulating the register. Many thanks Ben.

Ben, dont't know if your problem is the same as mine was. I went to start, typed regedit, ran as administrator. When it opened I made sure I was at the beginning of the register. I then opened the find and typed in FScaptain.dll. I just kept hitting f3 until it came to an entry in the compatability section that said to ignore fscaptain.dll. I deleted that entry and continued hitting f3 until it was finished. Then went to FSX.CFG file and deleted the fscaptain.dll entry in the [trusted] section of that file. Then started FSX and agreed to letting fscaptain.dll run and also to trust. This may not fix your problem. You may have something else in a different section of the register. Have you checked your DLL.XML to make sure fscaptain.dll is in there? Hope you can find the problem, it was very frustrating and just happened to find mine on a hunch. Good Luck.

Leen I Just want to say thank you it has worked as stated. However I have a different problem, my fsx still crashes. When? When I click on the the FCDU gauge I get the following Microsoft visual C++ Runtime Library Debug Assertion Failed! ... x\Gauges\fcdu.gau
Thanks but I am out of ideas. Hopefully someone has come across this one before.
Ben

Ben, I had the same problem. Just keep hitting ignore. I kept doing that and it finally went away.

Ben,
Which version of FSCaptain are you trying to run? Which simulator and which OS do you have??
Regards,

Hi, Fs captain 1.7 and windows 10. I am using fsx gold edition. I have tried all steps and finally deleting the entry from the registry solved the problem. I then had to click ignore and that did the trick. I spent hours trying to install and reinstall FS captain and lower versions to no avail. Problems started when I installed service pack and sdk.
Regards,

Hi Ben,
I believe that I read where you were able to solve your problem. That's good if I'm correct.
Happy flying!!
