Add-On Drop Down Not Showing All Entries

[jnavara]

I am having issues with my Add-On Drop Down menu not showing all the entries like it's supposed to. I am copying and pasting both my DLL.xml and my EXE.xml. What is funny is that the same files are located in the C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming directory as well. Is the program trying to read both files. Here are my files from the C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2 directory:

It might help people if you let them know which entry's are not displaying in the menu.

I have had this happen to me numerous times. I have a number of exe.xml/dll.xml entries also. Sometimes when I click on addons only my FSUIPC entry appears and none of the others such as FSDreamteam, A2A etc. no longer appear in addition I find that ASN displays "Waiting for simulator" when it had worked perfectly previously. If I reboot the computer and restart P3D all works just fine again. But, if I exit P3D, do some other things such as spreadsheet etc. and then restart P3D then sometimes (not always) the only entry that shows in addons is again FSUIPC. Reboot computer and everything shows in addons again. I suspect this has something to do with the dreaded simconnect. I have never figured out where or why things go wrong.

Try rebooting your computer, restart P3D and see if your addons return.

Sorry I thought I had included the option that were showing up. The following are listed in the Add-On menu drop down: FSTramp, FSUIPC and Addon Manager.

The computer has been rebooted several times and Prepar3D restarted several time.
