well, in that case, next time i get brave enough to try it again, i'll keep that in mind. What about the SDK included with fsx deluxe not working? Can't even get it to show up at all. The spot where the tools menu option is supposed to apear inside the sim itself doesn't show up, yet I followed the directions to the letter probably twenty different times. Maybe I just need a new copy. This one's all scratched to hell. hopefully this will work, no?

 

wow. they never mentioned that in the tutorial i saw or in the website for the SDK. Meaning XML4. I've been using a trial version of XML Marker 2. This isn't enough?

It won't work no matter what if you don't install it properly. Which instructions are you referring to? That link has worked well for me on three different occaisions following re-installs.

I'm using the one included in the mission creation kit in the SDK

The important lesson learned here is that the SDK is not perfect. It has a lot of buggy stuff in it. Follow the instructions in that link I posted to the letter and you should be successful.

thanks again. I'll take a look when I get the thing working the way I want it. Maybe you'll see some good missions from me soon.

 

Oh, and could you look at the topic I just posted? I need some input!
