(FSX) Help,with Mission Creator please

[chrisco17]

I'm trying to run the mission creator, and I can't seem to get it to work.
I have installed the SDK.
Created the XML file and put in it:




Launch
dll.xml
False
False



Object Placement Tool
False
..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\Object_Placement.dll







When I start up FSX, the documentation says " there will be a diagnostic window for SimConnect that should report that the dll has been launched. Secondly the tool will be available in the Tools menu of Flight Simulator"

Two things:
1. I do not get the diagnostic window.
2. I cannot find a "Tools" menu anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thats frustrating i have the same problem and cant seem to figure it out. :-?

the problem is in the PATH line

i had this too, you should change it to the absolute path to the required file (C:\program files\...) the ..\ signal, which is set by default, apparently, measn nothing but UP ONE LEVEL, which would take you to the parent folder of that which contains the XML.

therefore, the best way to solve the is to type in the absolute, or FULL path to the Object_placement dll file
