• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello,

First of all, i wanted to apologize as i suspect that this has been discussed multiple times. However i remain confused. I need some clarifications please

So, i installed FSX:SE and wanted to "update" a few airports.
From my understanding i cannot do that in the FSX:SE because the SDK is not working prorperly?

I saw in previous posts that the SKD from P3D v1.4 can be used ? I do not own OG FSX or Deluxe.

So, is this the one i need? https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/prepar3d-v1-sdk.227/
Also, ADE version? 1.78?


I just want to make sure that before i start anything that i have the right pieces of the puzzle.

Thanks in advance
Cheers
 
I would use ADE version 1.79x for FS9 / FSX / P3D, which was the last update posted before Jon 'retired':

https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/development-version-1-79-7475-available.448076/


LM's P3D version 1.4x SDK certainly can be used without the P.I.T.A. multi-step SDK install process from MS FSX DVD's.


My only recent concern is that TMFViewer and other SDK utilities seem to be running from a Windows CMD window.

After I Exit them, Windows Console Host tasks are staying open and leading to performance issues in windows; not sure what causes this.

So now I use my MS FSX Acceleration / SP2 SDK for those particular SDK utilities until I sort out the ConHost oddities.

I hope this helps get you started. :)

Ok, so with the P3D v1.4 SDK you are having problems if i understand correctly?

Damn, i do not have the Deluxe version of FSX. Should i try and find one and go with that or just swing P3Dv1.4 with ADE 1.79 and pray?
 
I would suggest to use the P3DV1.4 SDK and see if any similar issues arise on your computer.

There is no rogue code that I know of in the P3D SDK download, but I shall check out the ConHost anomaly further and report back later.

Windows Defender and Malwarebytes report no malware activity (yet), so go for it, IMHO.
