:isadizzy:I need some help trying to figure out why i do not get the TOOLS menu in the dropdown in fsx. I have fsx/accel and have installed the sdk's in the order for my version of fsx, (rtm, sp1a and sp2/Xpack) in that order. I used this guide: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_(FSX) and followed it to the "T" and yet still no tools.
I copied the 3 dll's to the modules folder in fsx (Object_Placement.dll, traffictoolbox.dll and visualfxtool.dll) I have edited the DLL.XML added the correct paths to each dll (made a backup first) to where the sdk is located, also removed the only two addons that are listed in the DLL.XML (FSUIPC and MyTrafficX)and then added each back. Created a new fsx.cfg (added the Trusted edits to new cfg), updated FSUIPC to latest version, made sure that i have .Net v2 installed (comes preloaded with Vista) and still no Tools. Now fsx is not installed in the default location its on my "E" drive, but i installed the sdk to its default location on "C" drive could that be the problem? Should i uninstall and reinstall the sdk to where i have fsx located?
Thanks for any help on this.
