no spotlights

[alex story]

the fs spotlights are not working in v4.1 if anyone knows whats wrong please let me know.

[Norman Blackburn]

Maybe if you told us a little more.

[alex story]

I installed spotlights into where it told me so the default path and still doesnt work then I moved it and activated it and still nothing.

[Norman Blackburn]

Did you create exceptions in any antivirus you are using as well as Defender?

[alex story]

not sure what you mean

[Norman Blackburn]

That will be a no then.

Make sure that you have exceptions listed in both any antivirus program and Windows Defender.

• C:\ProgramData\FlightSimLabs\LAAS
• C:\Users\\Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\
• C:\Users\\Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\FSLabs
• C:\Users\\Documents\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\Spotlights

Additionally I would add the following folder in its entirety for performance:

• Prepar3D installation folder

Uninstall and reinstall Spotlights having made these exceptions.

where am I able to find that

 

[Norman Blackburn]

Since I don't know anything about your issue apart from its not working I will assume Windows 10.  Google showed me this.

 

[alex story]

ive tried that and still nothing

 

[PATRICK DEVLIN]

I found that there was no need to make exceptions in Defender if you have made the exceptions in your antivirus and are running it, I use Kaspersky.

Until this was done I couldn't get Spotlights to work.

Thanks Patrick.  Too often people report 'I've disabled av/defender not understanding that these products are never truly disabled.
