• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Fsuipc 4.81?

I have FSUIPC 4.81 (unregistered), FSX is running, but ObPlacer_XML shows the connection as failed.

I opened FSX with a flight BEFORE opening ObPlacer_XML.

What should I check?
 
Is this object placer xml the same object placer the sdk gives you and has mission development.

If so, you need to install SP1A to create missions on some OP systems. they made that version just for mission development.

But be careful beause you lose SP2 or acceleration. i have not made a mission in years and don't use SP1A anymore.

There is detailed info out there why SP1A exists!

If this object placer is another program, it might need a directory to the FSUIPC. Since FSX creates a new folder when you install FSUIPC.

Thanks for your reply, but...

I'm talking about ObPlacer_XML, the subject of this sub-forum, a program by Arno Gerritsen.

I'm not talking about the Object_Placer.dll from the SDK.
 
Hi,

To be honest I never tried ObPlacer XML together with FSX. The tool does not support FSX MDL files, it can only place FS2004 MDL files.

I would assume that it would work with a newer version of FSUIPC as well, unless something has changed in the way applications need to register with FSUIPC.
 
I figured it was not the one from here (Arno's) since you are talking about FSX. So this means you need the FSX SDK. This makes it really easy to place objects.
 
For FSX I would use WhisPlacer. The placement tool from the SDK is not really user friendly in my opinion.
