Short and to the point...Is there a way to recreate this file without reinstalling/repairing FSX?
Mine went missing with an addon I added and then deleted  Lips Sealed

Sure, isn't too hard.
1) use notepad or some text editor and paste this
Quote:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?>
<SimBase.Document Type='Launch' version='1,0'>
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
 <Name>Couatl</Name>
 <Disabled>False</Disabled>
 <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
 <Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
 <Name>EZdok camera addon</Name>
 <Disabled>False</Disabled>
 <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\EZCA\EZCA.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

2) save the file as .xml (not .xml.txt) in C:\Users\Berlopez\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
3) done!  Cheesy
My entries above are examples, but I'm sure you get the structure.
There's also a chance that the addons which rely on that file create a new one when you reinstall them. Take the FSDT addon manager for example.

Hi Bernardo.

It should something like have this inside it:

Code
Select All
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>


So copy and paste that into notepad.
To save it as EXE.xml, Alt > File > Save as, then change the Save as type: to All files. Then enter EXE.xml (see attached image).

Mine has one extra entry, for Ultimate Traffic 2, which comes after the last </Launch.Addon> and before the </SimBase.Document>, so it is highly likely that the above will be enough to get you going.
