Well I installed FSX SDK, even though I've had FSX Deluxe for a year now, but the problem is how do you use it? I can't seem to find a short cut anywhere. If I go in my Microsoft games file, I can see the Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK file, so it is there. Any help on how to use it?

Go to C:/Users/*your user*/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FSX and find the dll.xml.

Open it in notepad, and change the three (disabled)True(/disabled) (<> instead of ()) tags to 'False'.

When flying, press 'Alt', and it's under tools.

The SDK itself isn't something you "run" or use...

It's a set of "How to's", and lots of information. You gotta dive in and start reading..

I think that's the object placer.. right ? Just one tiny part of the SDK (software development kit)... that you'd need for scenery design and what-not.

If you're thinking about designing aircraft, you won't be using that..
