I am trying to get SDK to work.I have loaded SDK from disk 1 patch it with SP1a and SP2.I have followed the instruction in this link over and over.http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_(FSX)

I have no tool on the menu bar. I have reinstalled the game and SDK software.

A couple of questions that might have somthing to do with it.
After I install the SDK software it in this location.
C/programs/microsoft games/flight simulator X
The SDK software is under it.

In the link it says to change <Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> in the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\

I have looked there and don't see a dll.xml file.

Please help ! I have been working on this for 2 days.Thanks
 
I just removed my answer as I'm unsure...But hang on..There are plenty of folks here that use it and will hel...

sorry
 
Good luck..

Just keep retrying to install it and read the SDK as close as possible.

I have been working it for 2 years and when I have to reinstall it, it can give me pure havoc.


I highly recommend going to FSDeveloper.com or FreeFlightDesign.com and see if the guys there can help you get it running.

Sometimes its the most trivial small thing keeping it from running, and sometimes its a mystery..

What part of the SDK are you trying to get to work in that you are missing something from the menu bar?
Also what OS are you running?
 
dll.xml is the file that defines where the SDK is, to FSX, and
enables the loading of various components.

Here is a copy of mine. Note that I have FSX and the SDK
installed on my I: drive...

PHP: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>I:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>I:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>I:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Find your dll.xml, located in the same directory as your
fsx.CFG file, and adjust the necessary entries to fit your
installation paths.

Good luck :)

Yes the configsdk.exe does a great job of configuring your setup.

I have a non standard install, and it configed mine to get me started !!
