• 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
lots of addons simply overwrite dll and thus make other planes not work correcty anymore.

Now I wonder why? Is it that easy to modify FSX dlls? How? Any tutorials etc.?

Thanks
Michael
 
Hi,

I doubt many addons change default FSX DLL files. It is not easy to modify them, since there is no source available.

Could it be that those addons you refer to use some custom DLL file? It the different addons use different versions of such a file I can imagine that can give conflicts.
 
are we sure theres not some confusion between distributed link libraries...and some other kind of file.....if core dlls are being altered,my first reaction would be a virus scan...jim
 
While installing an airplane, it asked me if it's ok to overwrite some dlls...should not have clicked ok as now other planes don't have instruments anymore. Don't know which dlls those were...Not the first time, I've had & have several problems related to dlls. Seems to be very ugly programing though. Better to not create payware than such a crap.
 
of course a guages problem.....addons sometimes include extra guages or updates to existing guages.....ive never had a problem with this...

they should make bacups.before adding an update.....have a good look at the guages folder and panel folder of your addon...jim
