Whoa hang on a second...

i have the lockheed martin airport editor installed

You are running FSX. Why are you installing any P3D sdk components?

You told me you have FSX:Delux. Therefore, you do have the SDK disk. Load the SDK in your system. You might want to go through the whole process of ensuring you are up to date with SP2. (That's a different topic that you can research). Then when you are done, pay attention to what others are telling you...

Here is the link for aircraft design editor http://www.airportdesigneditor.co.uk/ade_003.htm

.
There's nothing P3D that you need....

i just dont know how to use it.. any info would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the exciting world of FSX development. you need to dig a little deeper into the all the info on the net before you try to dive in head first. Test the waters, so to speak.
My beginners checklist is as follows:
Step 1...RTFM.......................WHAT FUCKING MANUEL???
Step 2...start using it and find out how it works
Step 3...come back with actual questions after completing steps 1 and 2.

The Deluxe Eedition of FSX had the SDK on it as well. I had to buy the gold edition because I updated my system to a 64 bit windows and the deluxe would not install at that time.
As for your system I would suggest you think hard about upgrading before you put a graphics card into it. If your system is that old you are going to have a hard time finding a video card that your system can handle. And you can forget about any brand new card as there is no way your system will support it.
If you do like I did the cost is not that high I spent around $600 to $700 for my system and purchesd things one at a time trying to catch good deals.
I know this is a lot of money and that it can be hard to come by. It took me several months to gather all of the needed equipment.
Now mind you I built my system from scratch which can be a little hairy if you do not know what you are doing. But if you take your time and read the manual that will come with your mother board it is not that difficult to do as plugs will only go in one place and one way so you can not put it in wrong.
the only tricky part is the wires coming from things like your power on light , disk busy light, power on and reset wires but these are labeled and your manual will tell you which one goes where. It took me a couple of hours to put every thing together and about another hour or so to install windows and other programs.
There are some good deals at Tiger Direct on what are called Bare Bones Kits these can come with every thing you will need Power supply,CPU, Memory, case hard drive and even a Video card in some cases. The only other thing you will need is a Windows Disk.
As of now the current Windows on store bought systems is either Windows 7 or Windows 8. Windows 7 come in 32 or 64 bit but I think Windows 8 is 64 bit only.
At this point I would recommend you go to a 64 bit system as you can hang at least 32 gigs of ram on most mother boards.

With only 2 gigs of ram it is a wonder you are running FSX at all
I am guessing that Windows 7 is a 32 bit windows and if that is true you can increase your RAM to 4 gigs Of course you will not see all of it as a 32 bit system can not see much more than 3.2 gigs of ram. That is just the way it is.
And the way to tell if you have a video card or not is to find where you monitor plugs in. If it plugs into the mother board than you do not have a video card.

[pegger]

Too bad about the stats on your computer. It must be difficult to run FSX with any elements of detail turned on.
None the less, you can still edit the airport of your choice to make the layout more accurate, but buildings and other details may be lost on a system like yours.

Anyhow, I'm always happy to hear from others who want to try their own hand at modding FSX. But it takes a little bit of self guided study to figure it out.

The correct response to the help you've received thus far is not as follows...

......................WHAT FUCKING MANUEL???

If you are frustrated already, perhaps editing scenery is not something that you will enjoy doing

Look a little deeper in the ADE website, beyond the program download, and work through some of the tutorials. Here's a link.

If you have a Tower Computer its very unusual for it not to have a Graphics Card already installed in a PCIe slot!
If it has been removed for some reason, all you are left with is the internal graphics chip on the Motherboard, which would be totally unsuitable for playing modern computer games.
I cant figure out why you don't have a PCIe Graphics Card inside your computer!
Has it been removed for some reason?

I've seen a few towers that did not have graphic cards installed. Usually, that's because they are not meant for gaming or siming, but for "home office" use.

@garymbuska.....this pc was built from scratch by a private builder so it didnt come with a manuel...so when u say upgrade the ram d u mean the harddrive? i apologize in advance as i am not pc savvy. the guy who built the computer looked on ebay and did actually find a videocard thathe beieves would be compatable with my pc. i just havent purchased it yet...

NO
I am talking about Random Access Memory (RAM) This is the boards that plug into the mother board. Depending on the make and model and age of the mother board you should find at least two slots that have about 25 pins in them.
Look at this link http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... u=P56-4511
This is what I am talking about.
RAM comes in what are called sticks and can come with 2 gig per stick or up to 16 gig per stick.
There are also different types of ram as well DDR2 DDR3 and a lot of others.
With out a manual it is going to be hard to find out what type of memory you have. If you look at the mother board and only see 1 stick than it is your 2 gigs and you should see a empty slot beside it.
You should be able to Google your model number on the mother board and find a manual for it.
This will tell you what type of memory you will need.
My old system only had 4 gigs of ram on it and i could run FSX but had to tweak it a lot in order to get it to run smoothly.
This is a sample of a bare bones kit that I was talking about http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... &CatId=333

The only other things you would need are a operating system and a video card.

[pyrogod316]

yea its a 2gig... i found the page with the manuels....

[Azframer]

yea its a 2gig... i found the page with the manuels....

You are running Win 7 you can always do ready boost with that, I think you can use as much as 2 thumb drives for that. Insert a thumb drive and go to my PC where you see all your drives and right click the TD and left click properties from menu, look for tab that says ReadyBoost left click that. Take a look at picture click apply and you have added memory.

[Azframer]

BTW if you add another thumb drive you will need to repeat process for that one as well. If you remove the drives repeat process. Try to have as much space on the drives opened for best results.

i found out this pc wasent designed for gaming but for office use.. ugh fml..but itll have to do till i can build up the $1,000 i need for a gaming pc. till then ill have to deal with this one

[Fozzer]

Maybe going for FSX is too much of a big step!
If you insist on using a Flight Simulator, how about trying FS 2002...or FS 2004 instead?
Much less demanding on the computer, and with a few adjustments will still give you much satisfaction!

There are still lots of perfectly happy FS 2004 Simmers around...me included!

[pyrogod316]

i dont have fs 2002 or 2004 ..i have fsx..
