• 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 all I am new to your forums and I am trying to get the SDK installed..I installed it...changed all the Trigers from True to False...Made sure my path is correct...I hav ebene looking at this thing for hours and I just can not get it to load up. I will cut and paste my Dll.xml file here so maybe you guys will see something that I just keep over looking...I am pretty sure that I have everything set as it should be..I'm just not having any luck, so any help that anyone can provide would be most welcome

I'm not sure if this would work. Maybe try it with the full path.
There's another thread about this problem. Maybe you can find more help there.
 
Where is your dll.xml file stored?
Are you sure your paths are correct? I find it simpler just to make them absolute.
 
I think by default MS has them set as absolute paths as well. If you install in the default location, all you have to do is set the Disbaled option from TRUE to FALSE.

First, you have the Traffic Toolbox included twice -- by attempting to add the one MyTraffic provides too, by the look of it:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>..\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>


and, badly formatted with new lines missing where they probably need to be:

<Launch.Addon><Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name><Disabled>False</Disabled><ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad><Path>MyTraffic\traffictoolbox.dll</Path></Launch.Addon></SimBase.Document>[/QUOTE]


Try deleting that last section, except for the

</SimBase.Document>


which should be at the end on its own line.

After that the only thing to check is that the path

..\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK


does actually get you to the SDK. FS will assume it is starting in its own folder, and the "..\" part gets it to the level one above. Sometimes it is clearer and easier to include the full path, from drive down (C:\Program Files\ ... etc).

Pete, I'm surprised. Not only to see you take the time between coding to scroll through the mission's forum - you even give very good help; I appreciate this very much. :)
