I have 3 lines in my fsx.cfg which tells the simulator (or computer) to trust my SDK tools.

E:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll.onltntknaklliqzbwakrwqqiahczouricoblewiu=0
E:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll.zcbnluctlawzhwqqzbotktahwkahcnbttilceoqq=0
E:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll.qhuektcuhbehcaelzbeoatelkezqhebqwwunkctz=0

They are all set to "0". When I edit the cfg in notepad to change the 0 to 1 and save it, all 3 of those changes back to 0 when I start the sim.

I am running XP Pro and not Vista. My SDK is in the microsoft games folder on E drive along with FSX. Any ideas why the computer or sim will not accept the 1 and changes it back to 0?

Do you have the 3 tools available in the  'TOOLS' menu on the menu bar when 'flying'?

No, they do not show up. That is why I want to change the 0 to a 1 so they will show up. I will check out the link but I think I have already been there.

The fsx.cfg file entries are NOT what allows those tools to "show up".
There must be a correct set of entries in the fiel dll.xml.

Here is my dll.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>I:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>I:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
       <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
       <Disabled>False</Disabled>
       <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

I have already checked and double checked the dll.xml file. It is good to go. Everything else also looks good accept the 0 and 1 in the cfg which tell the sim to trust or not trust the dll's. 1 is trust and 0 is no trust. I can edit the cfg to read 1 but when I start the sim., it changes them back to 0's

Here is my dll.xml..

Try removing those entries in the fsx.cfg file then. Then restart the sim
and see if they get set correctly. If not, then you may need to unjinstall
and reinstall the SDK.

Another thought...do you have the same SDK as the FSX version you are
running? There is a different SDK for FSX SP2 than there was for the
RTM and SP1 versions.

I have already tried removing the entries and restarting fsx. Same thing.
I just checked my versions. My FSX is "acceleration" and my SDK is SP1A. The SDK website says not to install SP2 if you have "acceleration". I do have a feeling that it has something to do with the versions.

You must install the Acceleration SDK then. It's on your disk... sdk.msi
