Setup
Setup - FSX
Annotation files for Flight Simulator X have a different format to those of earlier versions.
The Flight Simulator X version of the Annotator tool can read Flight Simulator 2004 autogen annotation files, but will only write them out to the new format.
Flight Simulator X will accept annotated files in both formats.
So if you intend that your annotated files run in earlier versions of Flight Simulator, then use the Annotator.exe tool provided with the Flight Simulator 2004 SDK.
If you intend than your annotated files run only on Flight Simulator X, then use the version of the Annotator.exe tool provided with the FSX SDK.
To use the tool, make sure the file default.xml is in the same folder as Annotator.exe.
Copy the default.xml file from the Flight Simulator X/Autogen folder.
Note - Ensure you are using the default file, otherwise all users will require your modified default.xml.
The Control Strip of the tool requires a screen resolution of at least 1280 by 960.
When the Annotator tool is first started, the Autogen Configuration Editor, and a number of other windows will appear.
Do not attempt to close the Autogen Configuration Editor dialog,
but if screen space is crowded the other windows such as Find Results, Find, Properties, Groupings, and Model Entries, can be closed, and re-opened if necessary using Configuration Editor menu selections (Edit/Find or View/Windows).
The Autogen Configuration Editor window can be resized to minimize its screen area.
