• 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.

Tools Won't show up.

On the Toolbar at the top of FSX, I cannot get the TOOLS tab to come up.

I am trying to use the Object Placement Tool, I went into the dll.xml, and activated it, but tools doesnt show up.

I have FSX Acceleration, Accel. SDK installed, and Object Placement tool Activated... what do i do?
 
I have win 7 and i still cant get the tools working myself ,ive install the tools many times in other op systems and never had a problem like this ,its always been the path but this time it seems its something else ..

maybe its admin rights or something else its stopping it ,but im lost aswell any help would save the day

op system specs
win 7 64bit
8 gig ram
1 gig card gpu
Amd phenom x6 1055t cpu

gmax was funny too with exporting a model ,example if i set the admin rights to open gmax it wont see the gmax file i made but will open any other file i made before yesterday , if i open without admin rights in gmax it shows up the gmax file but with a lock on it and im unable to change permissions even though im the owner, the saves from this file always save with a lock on it so i cant import it into full permissions gmax {no fix } and one model unable to do anything with..
{ always run gmax with admin rights set }


library creator had the same problem it would not open any mdl saying they where invalid{ the fix is set compatibly admin rights }
