FSX OBJECT PLACEMENT TOOL

[FSX68]

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. I run FSX Accel.

Here is my xml file:

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.

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.
