The SDK is available for FSX Deluxe only.

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

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

FSX	SDK	Availability	Installer	Location
RTM	RTM	Retail	????	FSX RTM disk 1, SDK sub-folder
	SP1	Discontinued	????	Standalone


SP1	SP1A	Download * (166Mb)	fsx_sdk_sp1a.exe	Standalone


Acceleration	SP2	Retail	sdk.msi	FSX Acceleration disk, SDK sub-folder
SP2	SP2	Download * (??Mb) 2007	????	Standalone

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

NB Acceleration users You must have previously installed a prior version of the SDK before upgrading to SDK SP2.

SDK SP1a is only provided to allow you to do so.

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.

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.
