• 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 cann't use this software programs to modify my old liee airport, because these software doesn't work more. Instant scenery doesn't show interface and whisplacer doesn't connect with fsX. For the first program, I reinstalled it but the problem is the same, for second I installed again the simconnect but pheraps ,I have the wrong version. Question, which version the program uses?
 
Hello:

Please be aware that IS3 is not (yet ?) compatible with P3Dv4.x, and FSX_SE requires use of this IS3 installer:



As you may already know, the above link is from a thread in the "official" IS3 support forum here:



We 'may' be able to help if you post here, a copy of all text from last modified versions of these (2) files:

C:\Users\[user account name]\AppData\Roaming\Flight1\Instant Scenery\InstantScenery.log

C:\Users\[user account name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml

Hi Gary, thanks for your fast answer. I' Don't have fsx_SE, I have original Flight simulator X with DVD,+dvd acceleration pack. I already posted the question on Simforum, but i didn't receive answer. I post here my Instant scenery log and InstantScenery.log. Now try your update.

I tried the update, nothing to do! But I think it's a configuration problem, since I also have Instant Object studio, which works quietly. But I don't know where to go to work to resolve.
 
Hi Andrea:

The IS3 log file does not appear to show any errors related to SimConnect or other IS3 operations, including the otherwise hidden process launched by default via IS3 which checks for updates every 7 days.


The DLL.XML file also shows that IS3 and IOS are enabled, and configured to automatically launch without prompting for permission during FS startup.

I would first try temporarily disabling your multiple DLLs for SDK modules, and 3rd party VA / multi-player activities, OrbX etc. within DLL.XML

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>[add-on name]</Name>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>True</ManualLoad>
<Path>[add-on path]\[add-on module name.dll]</Path>
</Launch.Addon>


I suggest that you perform such edits using NotePad++ ...rather than NotePad or any other text editor:



Save the edited changes to the XML file type in its original folder.


Next, re-start FS in "windowed" NOT "Full Screen" mode.


If after pressing < Alt > key to show FSX GUI Menu bar, you do not see IS3 in the Add-ons pull-down menu, exit FS and edit the above active copy of DLL.XML to set the following options for Instant Scenery:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Instant Scenery</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>True</ManualLoad>
<Path>C:\Instant Scenery 3\InstantSceneryFSX.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>


After re-starting FSX, you should be prompted to manually allow permission for IS3 to launch its module.

If you are not prompted to allow permission for IS3 to launch, you may have other "configuration" issues which are impractical to troubleshoot within this thread, and which may require a forced un-install of IS3.

If you choose to do so, I suggest using Revo Uninstaller Pro demo with the advanced hunt / delete option:



I hope this info may prove helpful to you. :)

Hi Gary, I followed your advice, but I didn't get the desired effect. There seems to be some option I set, but I don't know where to correct it. Anyway thanks for your active help.
