Hey all,
I seem to have a problem figuring out how to select an item to place on a scenery in Annotator. I see in the Editor you find the files and lists, I find the world supply of palm trees and things, but getting that into the window of the Annotator Strip window is not working for me. I have the 'default.xml' in the main folder with Annotator.exe. I can bring up that and other files in the Editor File/Select just fine. I can bring up lists. But for some reason, I cannot transfer selections to the Annotator interface. I click GUID, nothing, except 'you must use a valid GUID' or no message at all. I try to copy/paste the name of the model into the model name slot, nothing will copy in. Shows a roof name in the slot.
I was able to get it to select things yesterday, but they didnt show in the Annotator strip window, and yet I was selecting them fine from a mini Editor window. Today, no such luck.
I seem to be missing something that isnt in the manual. I have Luis manual (PDF) on how to work the Annotator, but missing something.
I also have been playing over and over the tutorial on Autogen in YouTube that is in another language. I have to run it on Mute as the words have no meaning to me. But I can watch the cursor on the screen and his selections. For some reason, he can select a bush or tree and it enters into the Annotator strip fine. Not on mine.
I have P3D V4.5 latest version Annotator and SDK pack. I also tried (earlier this morning) on the original FSX SDK (Accelleration version) Annotator and that did the same thing. So I know I am doing something wrong, missing some little tidbit...
Any idea's?
Any blue and white DANG buttons I should know about?
