I tried using it, but I decided not to. I had a similar problem, but it was that I didn't launch Free Flight! So you need to launch Free Flight and then go into windowed mode (Alt-Enter), then you can use the Object Placement Tool.

Would just like to say a very big thank you to other Guest.

I have been struggling for months trying to get SDK to run and I can say that following the instructions given concerning moving files etc, my SDK also now works fine.

A big thank you and to all those who haven't tried it...try it...

So i got the delux edition of FSX, and I wanted to try the mission builder. I followed the instructions for setting up the sdx, and I double checked my dll.xml file to make sure that nothing was disabled. But when I start FSX it starts up like normal. There is no tools menu. Any ideas? Here is a copy of my dll.xml file. It's located at: C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml

<?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.Addon>
<Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\Mission Creation Kit\Object_Placement.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>


FSX is installed here: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

the SDK is here: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK

Ideas?

Unless you know how to make software add-on items, the SDK(Software Developers Kit) won't do anything for you. It's used to manipulate the code of the program, If you don't know what you're doing, you can screw up your program.

Hello All and RSparkyC

I had the same problem with DLL.XML for Object Placement Tool in FSX
I found how to do it, please see below and it's working
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Path>Object_Placement.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

Best regard
Erik

Another good idea would be to install the SDK SP1a. I was recently reinstalling the SDK and found that my problem was that I did not have SP1a installed.

Hope this helps

Sort of off topic: If you would like to see what I was doing with the SDK, I made a little add on to add docks and boats to the Berkeley Marina. I uploaded it to to the AVSIM library at http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=Berkeley+Marina&FileName=&Author=Orion+Lyau&CatID=fsxscen
