• 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 tools problem

I have visited the wiki page and followed the instructions to the letter and in the proper order. I still had no 'tools' in the menu of FSX. I opened dll.xml and found, I think, 3 items something like <disabled> true<disable>. I changed this to false and saved in notepad. Doubled checked and my changes are still there.

Still no tools. I then updated fsuipc to the latest. Bingo! tools showed up! BUT- I click to open tools and there is my tools window, but it is frozen. FSX also was frozen. I had to ctl-alt-del to get out.

BTW- I had to redirect FSDS to environemnt\modeling\plugins\3d7. there is 3d7 and 3d9. Didn't know which to choose. But FSDS 3.5 now compiles as before, though I haven't yet tried xtomdl yet.

Do I have to reinstall Xbuilder to get maps to show up like virual earth or ask satilite, etc?

could someone please comment on the above questions? Much appreciated. Bob
