• 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.

I am running FSX Acceleration on WIN7.

As far as I can see I have installed all the files in the right place.

I have the two.dll files installed and have modified my panel folder and panel.cfg for the Aircreation.

I have modified the dll.xml to add the two dll's as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

</SimBase.Document>

When I start FSX and run the EarthProxy.exe I get the Start and Open KML Files FSX shows a small black rectangle in the upper left of the screen. The Google Earth scenery does not show.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Bob.

Yes I had Google Earth Pro running. The black rectangle is the GE View in my panel.cfg window. I have:
Window05=GE View

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window05]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=110,90
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=0
visible=1
ident=

gauge00=GE VIEW!Compound_Rotation, 0,0,110,90

The size is 110, 90 which is the size of the black rectangle. I just tried it again and the Google Earth scenery does not show and tghe black rectangle shows up.

Any help? Thanks, Bob.

I just reread the pdf installation file and it says to edit the kml.xml file. There is no kml.xml that I can find. Where is it and how do I edit it? What does the edit consist of?

Thanks, Bob.

That isn't the view. The entire point of the product is to sync Google Earth with FS so that you fly in FS and view in Google Earth.

Thanks. Here is what t e installation pdf says and I quote:

One-time installations
 Install HttpX.dll and XMLTools.dll modules
o Copy HttpX.dll and XMLTools.dll to Modules folder
o Edit kml.xml file
 Install Compound_Rotation.xml in each aircraft you fly
o Copy Compound_Rotation.xml to Panel folder
o Edit panel.cfg

Bob.
