• 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.

Hi

I have my FSX installed on my S drive. I have installed the SDK for it on C drive etc. But when I go to add things like Traffic Tool Box etc in my DLL.xml file, nothing happens.
How can I change this?

thanks in advance

Hi Chris:

See the info in this thread on editing FSX install location within the "active" working copy of DLL.XML for FSX:

https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/tools-menu-not-showing-on-my-fsx.428278/


If this does not help, copy /paste your DLL.XML file text contents in a reply here, so we can see if there are any obvious items requiring edits.


Also, the "active" working copy (not the backup 'template' copy) of DLL.XML for FSX must be located in this sub-folder when FSX runs:

"C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\"

Hi GaryGB
Thanks for your reply.
I scrutinised the DLL.XML File and noticed I did not have spaces between Program Fils (x86).
I had Files(x86).

That fixed it and I now have tools.

However I am missing the object_placement.dll file in the traffic toolbox. Is there anywhere I can download it?

Thank you

Hi Chris:

FSX Object Placement Tool (aka "OPT") is a part of this version of FSX (SP2 / Acceleration & P3Dv1.x compatible) SDK:

https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/prepar3d-v1-sdk.227/



It should be found at this default install location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D SDK 1.4.4747.0\Mission Creation Kit


It requires being separately enabled via its entry in the "active" copy of DLL.XML located at:

C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
