Stop XML Application Execution

[kv0i]

Is there a way to stop or suspend execution of a running P3D or FSX XML Application?

As in one started with the EXE.xml file, or one in a plane's Panel folder? Or in the sim's gauges folder?
In the last two situations, just add a character of some sort to the xml file's name. Like TEST.xml will become TEST_1.xml, or ATEST.xml, whatever.

In the first situation, just delete it's entry from the EXE.XML file, OR you can change the line <Disabled>False</Disabled> to <Disabled>True</Disabled>.
Alternatively, should you desire the ability to have it load, but not right away, change the line <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> to <ManualLoad>True</ManualLoad> .

Does this answer your question?

Hi Pat,

I don't think my question was not too clear. This is a pop-up window executed inside a gauge on the instrument panel. It is XML and not an EXE file. It automates the take-off and landing processes as far as raising and lowering gear, flaps, spoilers, and accutates brakes and thrust reversers. It has some glitches in it and there are situations when I want to disable the pop-up window.

Also I have not figured out how to get the thrust reversers to work and I am using the Parking Brake for braking and would like to use the normal aircraft braking system instead. I have not found the proper variables to use for these functions.

(L:LAND2, enum) 0 == (A:Vertical speed, feet per second) -5 &lt; (A:Radio height, feet) 40 &lt; and and if{ (&gt;K:SPOILERS_ARM_ON) (&gt;KARKING_BRAKES) (A:THROTTLE LOWER LIMIT, percent) -0.88 1 (>L:LAND2, enum) }
(L:Takeoff, enum) 0 == (A:Airspeed indicated, knots) 45 &lt; and if{ (&gt;KARKING_BRAKES_OFF) (A:Spoilers handle position,percent) 20 / int 1 - 0 max 3277 * (&gt;K:SPOILERS_SET) (&gt;K:FLAPS_UP) }
(L:Takeoff, enum) 0 == (L:LAND3, enum) 0 == (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) (A:Airspeed indicated, knots) 40 &lt; and and and if{ (&gt;KARKING_BRAKES) 1 (>L:LAND3, enum)


Thanks for your rapid response,

Bill

Remove the offending gauge from the panel.cfg?

Alternatively, comment it's line in the Panel.cfg out?
Like this: //gauge03=Avionics\HUD\HUD_Panel!GPS CRS, 55,445,32,32
Just an example. Use the double front slash (//). That way, you cn re-enable it should you desire. Just delete the slashes.
Good luck!

I want the Popup to run because I like what it does. However, it has some undesirable effect on other simulator events. It's probably just bad coding on my part because I am sure no expert at XML. I get flaps spoilers and gear extending and retracting at very awkward times.

Line #2 will continuously toggle the parking brake, which is absolutely not what you want. Control issuing this event by checking the value of the corresponding A: var beforehand.
