JJJackson 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 HiI'm one more in the line of "can't get it working".I have done everything you suggested, moved the files, edited them (used both suggested options) but.... NO option in theFSX "Addons" drop down menu.More suggestions?For those who doesn't find the .xml file, this is a HIDDEN system file and you have to set the settings in XP/VISTA to show hidden files. You need to do this to get access to other FSX files to edit. If you get a scenery ERROR you have to edit hidden files.Jack J JacksonA Swede in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a scenery ERROR you have to edit hidden files.Jack J JacksonA Swede in SpainWhen you use the %appdata% shortcut as suggested in the manual, you bypass what is hidden and can easily do everything in that folder.( A personal side remark: The toolbox is a part of FSX SDK, its installation is part of the SDK installation and well described in there, and has absolutely nothing to do with MyTraffic. Nevertheless I have helped many hundred times to get it up, and spent hundreds of hours in supporting users to get FSX SDK running. There are much more requests to this FSX part I have nothing to do with than to the total rest of MyTraffic. I could have spent this time in better things like making more models and paints. So when I don't reply prompt and extensive on any request concerning the toolbox I ask you understand - I only can aswer them if I have a few minutes left between the necessities of 5 hours sleep, one hour eating and 18 hours working a day.)On my above post, I gave the check list of what is needed from a) to d) and ask for a code snipplet. How could I help without that minimal information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJackson 0 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 HiFirst of all my apologizes to Burkhard. It was NOT my intention to offend anybody, I just wanted to post a question. It seems that there are a few more then me that doesn't get this. We all admire your efforts to help us, BUT some of us ARE amateurs and, again I don't want to upset anybody, BUT I have bought a program and in the manual it clearly says that after the installation there will be a"Traffic Toolbox" in the add-ons drop down menu.

In the top folder of the SDK, there is a chm help file, not an html help?I checked the file to be OK, this is really the one you get when you type " %appdata%\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml ", and you are running FSX as the same users.The text in the manual is, as it is there, only valid for the FS9 version, in which manual did you find it, because the manual I have wrteen a year and more ago does not contain such a sentence?

JJJackson 0 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 HiIt doesn't matter if the value is "True" or "False", still doesn't show.Changing to an absolute path didn't make any change. BUT I notice one thing. In the .xml file there are also paths to the "Object Placement Tool", "Visual Effects Tool" and they don't show up either BUT my FSUIPC4 shows up (it's the last "Launch Addon" in the .xml file).Could it help if I change the path AND move the .dll-files to that path?

Problem was that I have my FSX on my D drive, and Windows XP on my C drive. Maybe I can get you going. It's a neat feature of MY Traffic X, so let's give it a try.Follow Shaun's instructions in Post #4 of this thread for the ordering of your SDK and SP's. I installed the SDK from the Acceration Disk into the FSX folder on my D drive, but more importantly, when you first load FSX, an SDK is placed on your C drive at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK. Hopefully you can see it there on your C drive. I loaded My Traffic X in the FSX folder on my D drive, but you probably have it in your FSX folder on your C drive, which is fine. Go to it. In the My Traffic X folder you will find the dll.xml file. Open it with WordPad. You need to make sure that any "True"s you see are changed to "False", and then, most importantly, you need to change the "Path" to read C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll.

We have observed some cases where FSX, when installed to D:, just behaves strange.

mr-otin 7 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Dear all,i saw this thread and it's not really solved this problem. I've an advice for you. I work with vista ultimate 64bit but it will works for you too. Ok, here are the steps:Do not attempt to install the original retail version of the Flight Simulator X SDK over an updated SDK, as unpredictable results can occur. If for some reason this is required, uninstall all versions of the Flight Simulator X SDK and re-install in chronological order.1. SDK from FSX Deluxe original DVD2. SP1a from the Accelleration pack3. The SDK from the Accelleration packWindows VistaIf developing using the Windows Vista operating system, the instructions in this SDK documentation assume the developer is working with Administrator privileges, otherwise security violations can occur when the tools try to create files in protected directories.A few of the tools require Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 to be installed first. Install this from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=enStep 1. Find the right dll.xml fileright klick on start --> explorer --> now look for these folder in the explorer window C:\Users\(User name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xmlStep 2. get in the right valuesI had some problem with the none direct paths to the sdk folder i setup the full paths. Here is my dll.xml file: (Program Files (x86) is for 32bit progs only, when copy this put the (x86) out ) <?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>C:\Program Files (x86)\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>C:\Program Files (x86)\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>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Options</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDGOptions.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Events</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDGEvents.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Sounds</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDGSounds.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> and this works very fine for me.

hotelfox 18 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 My Traffic X is one of the first add ons I installed. My first impressions: a fantastic tool - absolutely worth it!Addressed to Burkhard: during a trip from ETME (former base of NAW2) to ETNL the radio was very busy with lots of transmissions from and to 'German Airforce ...', 'German Navy' and 'German Army'. If I may suggest to schedule an upgrade for coming versions I would like to a get an upgrade of the pronunciation of the word 'GERMAN'. According to your soundfiles it appears a little odd, I think.Additionally I would like to ask if the visual result is a specific phenomenon of my graphics engine? Against the sunlight (pic01) the vertical stabilizers of the My Traffic aircraft appear somehow 'semi-transparent' or as if they were illuminazed from the inside, wheras with the light of the sun they appear in a way over-exposed and very bright.Reagrds from Bavaria,HF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B. 40 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Have you got Direct-X 10 preview mode enabled by any chance? As the textures on the aircraft are not visible at all, unticking the DX10 preview box should fix it. If not then I'm not sure what it is, but its probably graphics driver related.
