Versions

The SDK is available for FSX Deluxe only.



You must install the appropriate SDK version to match your FSX version.


FSX SDK Availability Installer
RTM RTM Retail FSX RTM disk 1, SDK sub-folder
SP1 Discontinued Standalone
SP1 SP1A Download * (166Mb) Standalone
Acceleration SP2 Retail FSX Acceleration disk, SDK sub-folder
SP2 SP2 Download * (??Mb) 2007 Standalone

'*' May also be available on magazine cover discs.

Configuration

If you have installed both FSX & SDK to their default locations, the OPT should now be available from the FSX Tools menu.


If you have installed either FSX or the SDK to a non-default location, you should run configsdk.exe in the SDK root folder.


dll.xml

If the FSX Tools menu option is still not displaying, you may need to edit dll.xml manually.

The dll.xml file is located at -

On XP - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\

On Vista - C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\


In the root of your FSX installation there's also a dll.xml file, do not edit this, it's only a default backup copy.
