FSX68 -
I was referring to your "it works" post of May 28th, 2013, 21:56



You've quoted the following irrelevant misleading text -

Please delete the above text.

Your "it works" post of May 28th, 2013, 21:56,
indicates you'd only edited one of the three paths -

The only one I see in FSX is the Traffic toolbox. The paths for the other two were set and pointing at were the files are.

Hi Folks

I've installed SDK to the default directory and FSX was not installed to default directory.
I have corrected the patch in the xml file as to the current path to the SDK files
and they show up in TOOLS in FSX
however there is one that does not,
It the Object Placement Tool bar.
View attachment 87989The ONLY item that shows is Traffic ToolBox
and nothing else,
no FX Tool no Object Placement Tool......

FSX68 -
As per your screenie,
the Object Placement Tool link is displayed on your FSX in-game menu.

Therefore it is installed to the correct location, (identified in your dll.xml).



The Object Placement Tool requires that you run FSX in windowed-mode.
i.e. not maximised, nor full-screen mode.



Reduce the size of your FSX window so it doesn't fill the screen.

On the FSX Menu - Tools,
click Object Placement Tool,
and you should find it opening in a window alongside, (or possibly behind FSX).



Similarly the FX Tool is also installed correctly,
its also likely opening behind your FSX window.
