Overview
The SDK is available for FSX Deluxe only.
Versions
You must install the appropriate SDK version to match your FSX version. |
Find your FSX version in the FSX column, read the matching row SDK details.
| FSX | SDK | Availability | Installer | Location |
| RTM | RTM | Retail | ???? | FSX RTM disk 1, SDK sub-folder |
| SP1 | Discontinued | ???? | Standalone | |
| SP1 | SP1A | Download * (166Mb) | fsx_sdk_sp1a.exe | Standalone |
| Acceleration | SP2 | Retail | sdk.msi | FSX Acceleration disk, SDK sub-folder |
| SP2 | SP2 | Download * (??Mb) 2007 | ???? | Standalone |
'*' May also be available on magazine cover discs.
N.B. Acceleration users
A prior version of the SDK must be present on your PC before upgrading to SDK SP2.
SDK SP1a is only provided on the Acceleration disk, to allow you to do so.
Documentation
RTM, SP1, & SP1a documentation is supplied in html format, with each folder containing the relevant html file(s).
SP2 documentation is supplied in chm format, as a single compiled html file, fsxsdk.chm.
located by default in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK
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.
Addons
Ensure you are using the latest version of any addons, (e.g. FSUIPC).
Important particularly when you upgrade FSX to a newer service pack.
Incorrect versions may prevent the Tools menu from loading entirely.
dll.xml
If the FSX Tools menu option is still not displaying,
you may need to edit dll.xml manually to -
- include the full paths for the SDK entries.
- set disable to false
- remove all addon entries, ensure the MS SDK tools load, then reapply your addons.
The dll.xml file is located at -
| OS | dll.xml location |
| XP | C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\ |
| Vista | C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ |
In the root of your FSX installation there's also a dll.xml file, do not edit this, it's only a default backup copy.
