Working with the Object Placement Tool.
Installation
The SDK installer is located on disk 1, in the folder SDK.
You must be running the appropriate SDK version to match the FSX version.
| FSX | SDK |
| RTM | RTM |
| or | SP1 |
| SP1 | SP1A |
| SP2 | SP2 |
| Acceleration | SP2 |
Configuration
If you have installed both FSX & SDK to their default locations, the OPT should now be available from the FSX Tools menu.
If you have installed either FSX or the SDK to a non-default location,
you should run configsdk.exe in the SDK root folder.
If the FSX Tools menu option is still not displaying
you may need to edit dll.xml manually.
The dll.xml file is located at -
On XP - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX
On Vista - ???
Do not edit the dll.xml file in the root of your FSX installation,
(it's only a default backup copy).
Tips
Moving
If an unlocked object refuses to move with click-drag, you can reposition the reluctant object, with the mouse without click-drag.
Using Top-Down mode.
Double click in the OPT coords area. Click the FS window location you require.
Object will 'jump' to that location.
Zoom in and repeat as required.
