    Hi,

    I’ve installed SODE 1.4.2 for my FSX SE but it doesn’t appear in the menu. I don’t have any log.txt.

    SODE 1.4.2 installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\12bpilot

    SODE Platform Manager
    Platform installation path : E:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX
    exe.xml and dll.xml path : C:\Users\damie\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE
    SOLDE REGISTERED
    SOLDE ACTIVE

    Any idea ?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    It seems that your registry is messed up. Did you have the original FSX installed before on your system? Because FSX-Steam Edition would not create a “FSX-SE” folder if it is installed on a clean machine, but does exactly that when there are still traces of a FSX installation in your registry…
    The SODE Platform Manager needs a properly set up system in the first place, so you need to clean up your system. There are several threads about this registry issue in the internet, e.g. here https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/1/490123832541365433/

    Once everything is cleaned up, SODE Platform Manager should find the fsx.cfg file at C:\Users\damie\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

    Ok, can you post your SODE.log here? Platform Manager -> Tools -> Show Log

    That’s the wrong one (PLTMGR_DETECTION). I need the SODE.log file contents

    OK but when I try to go to Platform Manager -> Tools -> Show Log, I get this error message :

    You need to run a Simulator session first and then exit the sim. This will create a SODE.log file.

    Ok, then SODE is not being launched by P3D I guess. If you have a Anti-Virus program running, then you could add an exception for SimObjectDisplayEngine.exe.

    Do you have TeamViewer? I can then check on your computer what’s wrong. I’m online for the next 10mins…

    EDIT: I’m going offline…maybe tomorrow…

    Hey, I’m away from home until Saturday. So, the only advice I can give you for now is to completely uninstall SODE V1.4.2 and a re-install.
    If that doesn’t help, then I suspect that the required SimConnect version is not installed on your system. This can be tested if you try to double-click the SimObjectDisplayEngine.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE. If the required SimConnect is not installed, you’ll be warned about this via a MessageBox saying something with WinSxS.

    Don’t forget to check the Task-Manager afterwards and kill the SimObjectDisplayEngine.exe if it is listed in the running processes list

    If you get that MessageBox complaining about SimConnect.dll and WinSxS, you can install the required SimConnect version from your FSX-SE install path. There should be a folder X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces, install FSX-XPACK.
