}}
FS version indicator for page content relevance.
== Purpose ==
Many wiki pages contained -
* No information relevant to current or recent FS versions.
* No mention as to what version they applied to.
* No footer category version listing.

The '''Applicable''' version infobox offers -
* Instant recognition.
* Common reference point.
* Direct links to categories.
* Automatic footer ''Categories:'' generation.
* Simple to place & edit.
* Support for future versions.
* FSXA referenced as a seperate version, (~50 FSXA exclusive pages to be created).


== Useage ==
* Copy the following code.
<pre>
{{Infobox-Applicable-FSVersion
| FSXI = false
| FSXA = false
| FSX = false
| FS2004 = false
| FS2002 = false
}}
</pre>
* Paste into the top line of the page.
* Set the version applicability to '''true''', '''false''', or '''unknown''', (case insensitive).
* '''Do not delete any of the FS version ''categories'' '''.
* FSXI, (FS11) - Placeholder, is commented out within the source template, it will be activated on FS11 release.

== Development ==
=== Completed ===
* Added links to FS version category pages.
* Added link to this page.
* Modified the <nowiki><div></nowiki> code to align it with top edge, (was displaced by 1em).
* Automatically generates the matching FS version '''Categories:''' footer entries.
* Removed - FS2000 & FS98 - If not required '''anywhere in the entire Wiki''', I will then comment these out within the source template.

=== ToDo ===
* Add category generation suppression option for pages like this.
* Not sure if this is an issue - Modify <nowiki><div></nowiki> so that ''boxes'' for <nowiki><code></nowiki> and <nowiki><pre></nowiki> display correctly.

Missions - Missions List - No missions found (FSX/A)

2010-06-24T14:53:52Z

Chipolino:

{{:Ambox-Content-WIP}}
{{Infobox-Applicable-FSVersion
| FSXI = false
| FSXA = true
| FSX = true
| FS2004 = false
| FS2002 = false
| FS2000 = unknown
| FS98 = unknown
}}
== Issue ==
In the FSX GUI menu, clicking the '''Missions''' menu item,
 
displays an empty missions list, except for a '''(no missions found)''' message, (or possibly lists a single mission only).

== Reason ==
Some developers are distributing their missions without including a parent folder.

Issue occurs if a user has installed one of these missions
 
directly into the Missions root-folder -
 
XP Default location -
 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Missions\

Missions root-folder should only contain other '''folders''',(and possibly a '''printer.gif''').
== Solution ==
Remove all non-folder content.

== Feedback ==
Please '''[http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:GoToForum&threadname=Missions+-+Missions+List+-+No+missions+found+%28FSX%2FA%29&create=talk&type= Feedback]''' the following information -
 
a) Mission name, (include package URL).
 
b) Whether installed from an executable, or zip file.

{{:Transclusion-SDK-Oneline}}
 
The majority of the tools are command-line based, but some are accessible via the in-game '''Tools''' menu, (not the GUI).
 
 

== Prerequisites ==

=== Availability ===
* The SDK is available in '''FSX Deluxe''' only, (not '''FSX Standard''').
* '''FSX Standard''' users can obtain the SDK, by purchasing and installing '''FSX Acceleration''', (or '''FSX Gold''' - Contains both Deluxe & Acceleration).

=== Essential Components ===
There are '''4 non-optional tasks''' you must perform first -

==== .NET 2.0 ====
''Microsoft .NET Framework Version '''2.0''''' must be installed '''first''''', (an FSX prerequisite).
 
Download the redistributable for:
* '''x86''' - [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en Microsoft Downloads - .NET Framework Version 2.0 (x86)]
* '''x64''' - [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B44A0000-ACF8-4FA1-AFFB-40E78D788B00&displaylang=en Microsoft Downloads - .NET Framework Version 2.0 (x64)]

'''Please note''':
 
All ''.NET'' versions are '''supplemental'''
 
they are '''not replacement''' versions !

==== VCRedist ====
The ''VC++ Redistributable'' must be installed first, (an FSX prerequisite).
 
For more information, and a link to download this file, refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403

==== MSXML 4 ====
''MSXML 4'' must be installed first, (an FSX prerequisite).
 
Download from:
[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7f6c0cb4-7a5e-4790-a7cf-9e139e6819c0&displaylang=en Microsoft Downloads - MSXML 4 (SP3)]

'''Please note''':
 
''MSXML'' versions are '''supplemental'''
 
they are '''not replacement''' versions !

==== Windows Update ====
''Windows Update'' '''must''' then run to obtain any subsequent patches,
 
before attempting to install/reinstall/repair the SDK or apply any Service Packs.

== Installation ==
* Users must have Administrator privileges to install the SDK, (particularly important on Vista or later).
* ''FSX Deluxe'' users must as a minimum have installed the FSX RTM SDK, before attempting to upgrade to the SDK Service Packs.
* FSX must not be running whilst installing the SDK, or any Service Packs.
* FSX must be restarted after editing either fsx.CFG or dll.xml, (as they're only read on FSX launch).
* Do not copy SDK-DLLs into your FSX modules folder, (it's totally unnescessary).
* When installing/upgrading/repairing the SDK, there is no need whatsoever to uninstall/reinstall the ''FSX game''.

=== Versions ===
''Service Packs'' are available for both the ''FSX game'' and ''FSX SDK''.

You '''must''' install the appropriate '''SDK SP''' version,
 
which corresponds to your '''FSX game SP''' version.

Find your installed FSX version in the FSX column,
 read the matching SDK column/row details.

For all troubleshooting and repair processes,
 
please see - [[SDK_Installation_(FSX)_-_Troubleshooting]]

DO NOT post any help request in the FSDeveloper forums
 
BEFORE you've completed the [[SDK_Installation_(FSX)_-_Troubleshooting]] process.

SimConnect was first introduced with Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Typically the components will perform one or more of the following:
* Add the processing for a new complex gauge, or other instrument, to Flight Simulator X.
* Replace Flight Simulator X processing of one or more events with new logic.
* Record or monitor a flight.
* Extend the mission system of Flight Simulator X.
* Create and set the flight plans for AI (non-user) aircraft.
* Set different weather systems.
* Enable new hardware to work with Flight Simulator X.
* Control an additional camera that the user can optionally select to view.
