Cannot see Spotlights Manager

[Colin Ackerman]

When I click on the little icon in the bottom left corner a transparent window appears with the title FSL Spotlights - Trial. Below that it says

No groups defined

Use Spotlights Manager to define new groups, or visit FSLabs Spotlights dedicated forum to download definition files, when available.

How do I get to the Spotlights Manger. I have tried clicking on various placed in the transparent window but nothing changes. I am using the default Cessna 172 aircraft. What am I doing wrong?

It has been 4 days since I posted this problem. Does anyone know if this software is still supported?

In the same way as you would get to most applications in your PC.  Click on the start menu and navigate to the app you want.

Its donationware.  Support is very much user to user.

That was the first thing that I tried. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled FS Spotlights again. All I get when I try to start the Spotlight Manager from within Windows is the Windows timer appears for a short time and then stops and nothing happens.

Colin Ive just left my house so can't do any screenshots.

When you click on start and go to Flightsimlabs, spotlights, do you not have a working spotlights manager app?

 

What does your event viewer show immediately after your failed attempt to run it?

I do have a Spotlights Manager app and when I try to start it I get in Windows Logs - Application

Two !Error and one !Information. All three are related to FS Spotlights

Here they are
