• 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.

FSX Steam Edition

Hi

Having downloaded FSX Steam Edition from Steam for a miniscule £3.99. I have tried SODE with it but it doesnt work. It doesnt run when FSX-SE is open and when I run it directly from the SODE folder it crashed

The Log says (dont know if this is any help)
1419187687 DEBUG : Trying to find Custom Configuration files...
1419187687 DEBUG SODE.XML : Trying to find SDX CFG Files...
1419187687 WARN SODE.XML : \cfg\ not found. Code(2) [F:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FSX\SODE\cfg\*.sdx]

That seems to suggest everything was loaded correctly?

There is a FSX-SE folder in C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE

and another in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE

Is there anything else you would need to know in hope of getting it working in FSX-SE?

The new registry entries are in this post http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/fsx-on-steam-compatibility.432460/#post-694920 also on that thread #61 there is suggestion simconnect has changed

Stevo :)
