My FMS data manager is not detecting my XPL12 addons on my windows desktop (though it works fine on my mac for some reason). Its not detecting my X-Craft e175, FF777v2, etc. ![Rlorkal](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/b/2/b210bb79ef90c237b0eb902b46a35faa2639065e.png) ![A6GXOxY](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/a/3/a34cb01b2cf35fc85e3192827b5a812d446df066.png) How do I get it to detect my add-ons? Thanks ---

Your X-Plane 12 path should be C:\X-Plane 12\ Cheers Ian ---

Hi Ian, It still doesn’t work unfortunately ![VMc5EHj](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/6/1/615f1240e198ea9dca4c83f1c1f486b84a3d7977.png) after a scan it still doesn’t detect any add-ons. ---

In FMS Data Manager _Settings_, check the X-Plane 12 path is the folder containing your X-Plane.exe. Press _Save_ - In _Addon Mappings_ select and _Remove_ any X-Plane 12 and X-Plane 12 Addon entries. - Press _Save_, _Scan_, then _Save_. X-Plane 12 and X-Plane 12 Addon entries should be detected. - In _Addon List_, select and _Update_ X-Plane 12 and X-Plane 12 Addon entries. Cheers Ian ---

Hey Ian, After following your steps it still isn’t detecting any Add-ons. You can see what I did in this video I quickly recorded.

> [@Ian](#): > > c:\X-Plane 1 Hey Ian, It still doesn’t work, I moved my airplanes to the “C:\X-Plane 12\Aircraft” folder and it still can’t detect my add-ons. Is there a log file I can send?

Hey Ian, Once again it is not working. I attached a few files that might help debug, as well as a recording of the deleting the X-Plane mapping and re-scanning. Furthermore I tried re-installing it though that doesn’t seem to have worked, though I am new to windows.

Hmmm, lets try [Manual Downloads](https://navigraph.com/downloads): Try downloading and installing X-Plane 12 for starters. You will ned to unzip to c:\X-Plane 12\Custom Data\ Ian ---

One additional question, only as a confirmation: Is your XP12 installed at `C:\X-Plane 12`? Is this correct? Cheers Richard ---

That is correct. It had previously installed nav data for X-Plane(I tested it in zibo 737), but X-Plane only and not any of my Add-ons (ie ff777v2). You can see this in some of the recordings I’ve sent. ![9PUiaOr](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/4/2/4247e0c1ad0e023a10d481557f9bca9164b3eee4.png) ---

Hey Ian This works as a temporary solution, thanks! Though, where do I put the ff777v2 files/find file locations for each add-on? ![hP50JkI](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/e/2/e2e2259d05d575833bbb9dc93a55011a503c10f8.png) Thanks ---
