I should note, I've never had any problems with dll's being added to the this file.....this is a first for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you have DLL.XML file then it is easy to manually add XMLTools entry.

First of all, check that you have XMLTools3D.dll (or eventually XMLTools.dll) in P3D's main folder.

Then, add these lines to your DLL.XML, at the bottom :

( For XMLTools3D)

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools3D</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools3D.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

( For XMLTools)

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>


That should work.

Can you send me a PM with your DLL.XML file?
Besides, do you have XMLTools3D.dll in P3D's main folder (NOT modules folder)?

Thanks,

It seems your DLL.XML is ok.

Now, please check in Control Panel/Programs & Features/Uninstall a program, that these Redistributables are present:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x86
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable

Here you have the links:

2005:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-ar/downloa ... px?id=3387

2008:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-ar/downloa ... aspx?id=29

2010:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-ar/downloa ... px?id=5555

2015:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=53587

Start with 2005 version, 2008 Version might be left appart if the Beaver works fine with the rest installed.

That's really weird!!
Seems you have all fine.

Which GPS unit / Beaver version are you using?

Tom,

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable download is no longer available from that link.
If it's a must-have for the Beaver, do you have another link?

Seldom do we hear when something works...but here is my input.

Had the gauge and aircraft not starting problem as mentioned by others in this post. Re-downloaded all the Microsoft Redistributable (it did appear that I was missing one, I believe from 2005) and manually added the DLL file into my P3dv3.4 dll as posted above.

That did it for me. RPM gauge works as expected and aircraft starts when proper checklist start up is completed. Now I'm off to see why I can't get certain channels to work on the Nav. Radio (KHz jump is too wide when trying to set.)

Thank you,
Dean

I have P3D V4 installed and I think the problem that I have with my gauges is that the Beaver is not compatible for this version yet

Taguilo,

My compliments on your efforts to help your fellow pilots. I've noticed this in many others posts too. Perhaps you could "tutor" others on your staff on public relations, to include customer appreciation for purchasing MV products, and therefore availing them the opportunity to pay their mortgages, pay for groceries, power bills etc. ;)

Thanks for the courteous and professional manner you show when attempting to help us.

Kind Regards, Eagle
