• 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.

Having finally decided to try and learn the PDK and not having created any addons that have required an addons xml-type file, I find myself at a loss with a comment in the PDK for the RadarAltimeter example. It says:
Code: 
// DLLMain.cpp    
// Description: ISimObject Instance-Based properties RadarAlitimeter sample 
//
// Instructions:
// 1)  Build solution.
// 2)  Configure your simobject with the Properties.xml file.  Simply copy this file to the root of the simobject.
// 3)  The registered properties can now be used in gauges, animations, and scenarios.
Does anyone know which of the many xml files the comment is refering to because I can't get any hits on Google?

Thank you.
 
If you are talking about the file "properties.xml" it's here:
C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v6 SDK 6.1.10.31609\PDK General Samples\RadarAltimeter

Assuming you installed the PDK in that location.
 
Just to be sure on this... you do realize that this particular sample creates a radar altimeter "system" that can be used by a gauge, it is not a gauge.
 
Yes. From the reading that I've done, it appears the PDK is generally set up for that type of thing (replacement engines, etc.). Looks really interesting now I'm digging into it.
