• 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.

FSX:SE How to use the SDK

My 2 cents worth...

Best to go with the P3D SDK v1.4 with FSX SE. That is, if the SIm you are using is FSX Steam.
 
Let's start back at the beginning. What do you want to DO with the SDK?
 
I want to build missions. For my personal use and maybe post the fun ones. I think it would be fun for me and my sons to make these and it’s so frustrating because either I’m old or just don’t understand what it is you are asking me to do. I can fix it with the name but I think I’ve moved and pasted so much and some in the wrong places. That I may not be able to use the SDK. because of missed up registers.
I’m doing a class atm and I can fix it later tonight and get back to you. I will let you know. How it goes but I will be surprised it it works at all.

C'mon mate. It's not that difficult. You are almost there. All you need to do is edit your dll.xml and ADD the name of the DLL to the path already there like I showed you

So since you left out the dll name in your file:
Your line:

Correct to

all that has changed is that now FSX KNOWS which dll you want to add and where it is located.

Now you really don't need to install FSX on the C drive. I installed there because my C drive is an SSD. On my laptop FSX is installed in d:\fsx-se\ Thats it!!!


Simply pick your fastest drive (Lets say that your D: drive is an SSD) and INSTALL IT IN D:\FSX or c:\fsx period. No long path with spaces and all the problems of writing to the Program Files folder.

SIMCONNECT - if you plan on writing your own .NET apps for fsx then this is used together with the samples in the SDK. Otherwise simply find the SimConnect.msi in the SDK and dbl click it to run it and install simconnect. Thats all it is. Easy Peasy.
