OC4BA v2 shows up in FSX Add-ons but it doesn't start

[B777LR]

Hello

I'm using FSX with PMDG 737ngx and an OpenCockpits MCP v3 and EFIS.
I installed OC4BA v2 into my FSX folder and copied the necessary text into the exe.xml file.
Direction of FSX: D:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Direction of SIOC: D:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SIOC

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>

This is my sioc.ini
[SIOC]
IOCP_port=8092

and this my OC4BA.ini

COM1 IDX8
NAV1 IDX9

now when I start my FSX this screen opens (see start fsx.jpg)

I choose a pmdg 737ngx aircraft and start the flight. In the Add-ons i see OC4BA but it does not open when I click on it.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Jens

Hi Jens

With your FSX.exe in D:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

you should install SIOC programs and OC4BA programs to the following folder:


D:\Microsoft Games\SIOC.

That is one level up from where you have installed it now. Sioc and OC4BA files MUST be installed to a SIOC folder that is located under the same folder as FSX is located


This is the text in the documentation:


In order to make life easier for both users of OC4BA v2 and rksoftware your SIOC software downloaded from www.opencockpits.com MUST be installed to the same drive/folder as your flight simulator main folder is located.
Examples: If your flight simulator main folder is:
C:/FSX - then your SIOC folder should be C:/SIOC. Always on same level on same drive!
D:/My FlightSims/FSX – then your SIOC folder should be D:/My FlightSims/SIOC
This is my PC setup
In short: Your FSX folder can be located anywhere as long as your SIOC folder is in the same parent Drive/Folder.

!!!!! If this is not done correctly, OC4BA v2 will NOT work !!!!!!
If your SIOC folder is in another location vs FSX than explained above, please uninstall SIOC and re-install to correct location versus your flight simulator main folder as explained above, before you start installing OC4BA V2


Therefore:
Uninstall OC4BA and SIOC and reinstall to correct folder.
