December 9, 20169 yr It is pretty easy, look for your exe.xml of P3D. add these lines to it. Remember to add the path of the UT"services.exe. <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>UT2</Name> <Path>IS WHERE YOUR UT2SERVICES.exe IS LOCATED ON YOUR SSD</Path> <NewConsole>True</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> Then look for the simobjects.cfg. Add this line under the very last entry of the .cfg and replace the big red X with the next following number. SimObjectPaths.X=PATH WERE THE UT2 AIRCRAFTS ARE INSTALLED WITHIN FSX\UT2 Aircraft You shouldnt get an error message as you have FSX properly installed.

It seems my ut2services dont get loaded and also dont appear in the addon task bar within P3D. something must be wrong. if you could help would be great. FSX is installed and working as well as UT2 with latest db schedule. This is how i have it set now: For the exe.xml locations there is two on my system: 1. C:\Users\stephan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 2. C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 So I added these lines to both, I confirmed that the ut2services.exe is in that folder specified below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="exe"> <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr> <Filename>exe.xml</Filename> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Flight Recorder</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>G:\Prepar3D\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Flight Recorder\AS-FlightRecorder.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>UT2</Name> <Path>C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe> <NewConsole>True</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> For the simobjects.cfg file I am not sure I am doing it right as you mentioned just adding the single line to it. No need to add the [Entry.10]....?: [Entry.0] Title=Default Airplanes Path=SimObjects\Airplanes Required=True Active=True [Entry.1] Title=Default Avatars Path=SimObjects\Avatars Required=True Active=True [Entry.2] Title=Default Rotorcraft Path=SimObjects\Rotorcraft Required=True Active=True [Entry.3] Title=Default Ground Vehicles Path=SimObjects\GroundVehicles Required=True Active=True [Entry.4] Title=Default Boats Path=SimObjects\Boats Required=True Active=True [Entry.5] Title=Default Animals Path=SimObjects\Animals Required=True Active=True [Entry.6] Title=Default Misc Path=SimObjects\Misc Required=True Active=True [Entry.7] Title=Default Submersible Path=SimObjects\Submersible Required=True Active=True [Entry.8] Title=Default Weapons Path=SimObjects\Weapons Required=True Active=True [Entry.9] Title=Default Countermeasures Path=SimObjects\Countermeasures Required=True Active=True SimObjectPaths.0=C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\UT2 Aircraft I tried both .0 and .10.... thanks Stephan Faessler // designer, painter P1 // vACC Switzerland Controller impulseai
December 28, 20169 yr [Entry.9] Title=Default Countermeasures Path=SimObjects\Countermeasures Required=True Active=True SimObjectPaths.0=C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\UT2 Aircraft I tried both .0 and .10.... thanks Hi Stephan, 0 < 9. Has to be 10. Also try this entry in Simobject.cfg. This assumes 10 is the next sequentially available number. Also you csn set Required=False for this entry. UT2 is not default: [Entry.10] Title=UT2 Aircraft Path=C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Simobjects\UT2 Aircraft Required=False Active=True The single line entry you added, needs to be put into your FSX.cfg file. If FSX is installed on your machine, put it in the actual file. If not, add it into the fake/copy you created. Put it into the [Main] section. Again if, for any reason, there are any other Simobjects entries, they have to be consecutive. Regards, Graham Derreck CYMM

December 28, 20169 yr thanks Graham, do i have to edit both exe.xml i have two locations for the exe.xml files ok updated it in only this location: C:\Users\stephan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 no errors on startup which is good but no traffic...do i have to set traffic on under settings as well? normally this externally controlled... ok updated it in only this location too: C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 no error and started up but also no traffic :-( edit: ok the path was wrong at the end. now i get a red stop sign for a few sec then sim starts. but still no traffic here is the exe.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>exe.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>as_btstrp_config_manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>as_srv\as_btstrp_config_manager.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>UT2</Name> <Path>C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe</Path> <NewConsole>True</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="exe"> <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr> <Filename>exe.xml</Filename> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Flight Recorder</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>G:\Prepar3D\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Flight Recorder\AS-FlightRecorder.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>UT2</Name> <Path>C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe</Path> <NewConsole>True</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> edit 2: okay so I removed the entry in this location : C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 and i see traffic now from UT2, but i have no VC now. my entry must be still wrong in the exe.xml ? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>exe.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>as_btstrp_config_manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>as_srv\as_btstrp_config_manager.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Name>UT2</Name> <Path>C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe</Path> <NewConsole>True</NewConsole> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> Stephan Faessler // designer, painter P1 // vACC Switzerland Controller impulseai

You need to edit just the exe.xml which is located in the C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 What you can do is to check if UT2 is listed under the Add On menu in P3D. If it starts during Sim startup you should here the Ultimate Traffic 2 aural. If this is not the case you can start it manually via a double click on ut2services.exe.

Hi MJ That did not work, i have to edit the location in AppData Roaming LM P3D location. if i use this location C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3. I see no AI traffic but when I use this location : C:\Users\stephan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 I see AI traffic and the menu entry in the add on bar, but i dont have any VC with this option... edit: ok got it to work now, I removed this line: <NewConsole>True</NewConsole> now the VC appears and AI traffic is started with add on entry, nice. will give it a try now if all works thanks much everyone!!

Sounds great :smile: UT2 is a great add on but can give lots of headache to install into P3D. If you have the ne FSUIPC version then you can try to limit the traffic further see here http://www.avsim.com/topic/500104-fsuipc-4959-now-has-an-ai-traffic-limiter-somewhat-like-the-traffic-optimizer-addon/page-3?hl=%2Bfsuipc+%2Btraffic#entry3533837 Greetz MJ My youtube blog________________________Prepar3D v2.5/v3
