Hi Lee,
Welcome.
Files with xpl extension are generally used by X-Plane 11 for plugins. If you have (accidently) associated xpl files with Internet Explorer it shouldn’t affect X-Plane using them, it generally defines the program invoked when you click on them to run. You can change the association back to X-Plane.exe.
Simlink uses …your \X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\NavigraphSimlink_64.xpl, but you shouldn’t need to select or click on this file.
If Simlink is not running properly best to:
- See FAQ - Simlink Install and Systray
- In Navigraph Simlink Plugin Settings, for your FS entry press Uninstall Simlink.
- Use Windows to uninstall Simlink.
- If they exist delete folders c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Navigraph\Simlink and c:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink
- Download and install latest Simlink .
Please let us know how you get on.
Cheers
Ian
