AM v4 detects Xplane only when Xplane is running :-(

#1 Post by thiouze »

Good evening everybody,
I am new with Air Manager. I installed the software yesterday, as well as the plugin for Xplane 11.
Air Manager si still searching for the simulator, even if I tryed all the solutions in this website (Firewall, Antivirus, plugin...)

After many solutions tryed, it seems thqt Air Manager detects Xplane 11 only when Xplane is running. I think thqt it could probably be a problem in the future to use correctly Air Manager

I wanted to try to uninstall the plugin, which seems to be well installed, in order to reinstall it with administrator settings, but I didn't find any procedure nor a plugin folder in Xplane folder.

best regards

I'm not sure how else it should work?
You can do it in Norwegian if that's easier for you.

- XP11 not running: AMv4 searching for simulator
- XP11 running: AMv4 detects Xplane

could it represent a problem in the future to use properly AMv4 and Xplane?

Hi,
When it says "Searching for Flight Simulator," It is searching for an active flight simulator program. Otherwise, I don't understand the problem.

ok, so when you want to use Air Manager, to create panels and so on, without need of XP for flight, Xplane must be running parallely?

Maybe it is just a simple misunderstanding: I thought that without XP11 running, AM must find Xplane for use, am i wrong?

if it is just a misunderstanding, please all apologies (and moderator can delete this thread!)
but it wasn't so clear for me.

Hi, Welcome to the forum.

A good place to start is going through Tony's tutorial videos. It will teach you all the basics.

Xplane doesn't need to be running while creating panels or instruments. It is a good idea to have Xplane running while you test your instruments. However if you don't want to start Xplane, you can manually send values to your instruments through the panel at the bottom right of Air Manager.
