Hi Elaine,

Thanks for the help.  I was able to figure out the Path not valid problem.  The Prepar3d.exe file is named Prepar3D (I never changed it on my own).  So when I copy it I changed it and changed it to Fsx.exe like the instructions said it wouldn't work.  I changed it to fsx and the installer picked up this path in my Prepar3D folder.

 

I followed the instruction as per the first page.  Now another problem has come up. When I load Prepar3D no music starts, No tab comes up under ADD ON when I load the sim.  I increased the traffic sliders inside the sim and now I have no AI inside the sim what so ever.

 

I load UT2 first and there is still no music and then I receive this warning

PROGRAM ERROR

Error loading default UT2 or FSX settings

Unexpected end file has occurred. The following elements are not closed :

Launch.Addon,Simbase.Document. Line 30 position 20

 

I have went over the instruction again and again and cant get any further

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

William Coade

No problem William.    Can you go here and Copy and Paste your exe.xml file and give me a look at it.  

 

(C:) ► Users ► you ► AppData ► Roaming ► Lockheed Martin ► PreparD v3

 

================

 

Also,  make sure you have Installed all your SimConnet.msi files.    Install them all 

 

Located here:  Prepar3D v3 ► redist ► Interface.  Click into each one, Click into lib.  Right Click and Install

 

Hi Elaine,

 

Things are still not working out for me.  I uninstalled all my add-ons and uninstalled Prepar 3D V3 using your pinned topic in this fourm.

I then reinstalled P3D V3 and haven't installed any add-ons.  The first add-on I am trying to install is UT2

 

 

 When I go to step (2) creating\Modifying exe.xml file

I go to C:user\usersname\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

When I create a new doc in New Text Doc.txt and then rename it exe.xml it stays a Text Doc. it doesn't convert to a xml Doc. like I see in your screen shot.

 

When I start UT2 a program error comes up.

Error loading default UT2 or FSX setting

could not find file c:\user\users\appdata\roaming\lockheed martin\prepar3d v3\EXE.xml

 

I am thinking this is the problem that this created file is in the wrong format???

 

If it is how do I change it to XML file

I have copied and pasted the text into the file and put in my appropriate path to P3D.  It still doesn't change the file type.  I have restated P3D and same thing no change to that file

 

Thank You for your help,

William Coade

Hey William.    When you Create a New Tex Document.  You first have to Delete the  NewTexDocument.txt  bit,   you have to delete all of it including the .txt bit,  Then Type in exe.xml file.  

 

(2) Creating\Modifying your exe.xml file. 

 

Go to  ► Computer ► Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► you ► AppData ► Roaming ► Lockheed Martin ► PreparD v3

 

1  Right Click anywhere on a white bit,  Click New,  Click New Document.   2  A New Tex Document will appear, Right Click and Rename it to exe.xml.   3 Perfect

 

 

 

I'm not sure i have have mentioned this But The way to open and edit your  exe.xml file is..........

 

Right Click on exe.xml file,  Click Open with,  Click Notepad 

 

 

 

 

 

After you do that,  you can Copy and Paste this into your exe.xml file.  Please Note:  You need to type in your own Path where i have left ???

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

</SimBase.Document>

========================

 

Option 2

 

You can Grab an exe.xml file from your SDK kit.   You will have to Download your SDK Kit from the Prepar3D website,  Log in and you will see it. 

 

 Please Note:  In the image and instructions you see below is for both files,  In this case you only need the exe.xml file

 

After you Download and Install the SDK Kit,  you can find a spare exe.xml file located here Program (Default Location) Program Files (x86)  ► Lockheed Martin► Prepar3D ► Utilities ► Simconnect SDK  ►config 

 

1 Highlight the exe.xml,  Right Click and Click Copy.   2  Paste directly into your Prepar3D folder.   AppData ► Roaming  ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D

 

 

 

 

 

When you open up your New empty exe.xml it will look like this, You can Remove the Generic Entry at the Bottom,  You need the first 6 lines, This is the "Header Code"  

 

 You Need to change <Launch.ManualLoad>True</Launch.ManualLoad>    To   <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

 

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


<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">

<Descr>Launch</Descr>

<Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Name>Addon Application</Name>

<Path>C:\MyPath\Addon.exe</Path>

<CommandLine></CommandLine>

<NewConsole>True</NewConsole>

</Launch.Addon>


</SimBase.Document>

 

The reason you changed True to False is because the Add On\Program will Not launch until you give it Permission to,  See below.  If you are happy enough to see this message every time you start Prepar3D you can leave it at True,  If Not change to False

 

 

 

 

 

Ok,  so now you can Copy and Paste this Entry in,  You need to change your path,  I have left ??? for your Path

 

<Launch.Addon>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

<Name>UT2</Name>

<Path>?:\????\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe</Path>

<NewConsole>True</NewConsole>

</Launch.Addon>


</SimBase.Document>

 

 

So after all that,  your exe.xml file will look like this 

 

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


<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">

<Descr>Launch</Descr>

<Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>

</SimBase.Document>

 

Let me know how you get on 

Thank Elaine for the help I am going to give it another try

Some users of Ultimate Traffic 2 are reporting the following Error\Message below   "Please register this product before you try and use it"  

 

This is due to to your Anti virus Software seeing the utii.dll file as a False Positive so it quarantines it (removes it to a safe and secure place within in your Anti virus set up) 

 

You need to navigate to your Quarantine area of your Anti virus Software and Restore it,   Then you should be back in business  

 

I was able to recreate this message by moving this file out of the folder,  I moved it back into the folder and the message went away  

 

 

 

 

 

The file in question is located here  Your Prepar3D location ► Prepar3D V3 ► Flight One Software ► Ultimate Traffic 2

 

After you restore it,  Confirm the file has been returned 

 

 

 

 

 

========================================

 

 

After Installing Ultimate Traffic 2 and before you start the UT2 Control Panel Or Prepar3D,  You need to add these folders to your Exclusions Zone of your Anti virus Software. 

 

Your Prepar3D location ► Prepar3D V3 ► Flight One Software ► Ultimate Traffic 2.     Please Note:  You should add your Entire Prepar3D folder to your Exclusions Zone 

 

Local Disk (C:)  ► Flight One Software.  This is so, if you ever want to Reinstall Ultimate Traffic 2,  you can just run the Installer from this location 

 

Local Disk (C:)  ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Roaming ►Flight One Software ► Ultimate Traffic 2

 

Hi Elaine, I have tried this but when I try to run UT2 I get this box.  I have not seen it in your list of error boxes.

 

Just to let you know I also have FSX installed on the PC on drive X but P3D v 3.2 on drive G.

Did you use migration tool to install it ?

 

Is it enabled must be for it to work also do a properties on the UT2 exe and changed compatibility mode to run as admin as well as all of the entry's under the security tab 

I'm having an issue where some aircraft appear as something from Terminator....big chrome objects.  Is there any way to convert these textures to something that is DX10 friendly?

Thanks

Kevin

I am doing it Elaine's way.

I found my mistake.

I'm still not getting any traffic.

Well, I followed along perfectly, found one error where I didn't save the simobject.cfg, I installed UT2 perfectly and I have all the files installed as shown in the screenshots.

 

But I still have no traffic or the drop down menu where it shows UT2 like in FSX.

 

When UT2 is running and I click on "Do not play sounds at startup" I did get an error box.

 

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit the application will quit immediately.

 

Could not complete operation since a file already exists in this path C:\Users\Jetline\App Data\Roaming\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Startup.bak.

I don't understand why I have no UT2. Nothing at all.

 

I also saw in another file a reference to the migration tool I did not use it and for the heck of it I even ran it to see if I'd get UT2 but I didn't.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hello Jack 

 

Can you just confirm a few things for me.

 

(1) When you open the UT2 control panel, do you see any errors?

 

(2) When you open the UT2 control panel and go to Traffic Options\Aircraft Repaints do you see any errors ?

 

(3) Can you Copy and Paste your Complete exe.xml,  located here  Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► YOU ► AppData ► Roaming ► Lockheed Martin ► PreparD v3

 

(4) Can you copy and paste your Complete simobjects.cfg,  located here  Local Disk (C:) ► ProgramData ► Prepar3D V3

Thank you Poppet!

I was just about to restore my system to a point before the install.

I'd be delighted to send you the info.

To answer your questions.

(1) When I open the control panel I see no errors

(2) When I go to repaints I see no errors.

I am in the process of pasting those files here in a minutes.

 

A question, I no longer have UT2 in FSX now.

Remember I had UT2 already installed in FSX and it was working fine, now it's not.

Also, and I hope this was okay.

You know where you say to rename your Prepar3D.cfg to fsx.cfg?

 

Well I did that but because I didn't want to lose all my settings to Couatl and other things I made a copy of the P3D cfg file to my desktop, renamed it to fax.cfg then copied in the P3D.cfg file.

I did get this box once, but I think it was when I started FSX 

 

Ok,  just to confirm some other stuff. 

 

(1) Do you still have the Migration Tool Install?  If you do you need to Uninstall it,  When you have Prepar3D and FSX and the Migration Tool all Installed together it can mess up things

 

Uninstall the Migration Tool Through your Control Panel,  Restart your Computer.    Make sure the Fake "copy" FSX folders have been removed from ProgramData and  AppData Roaming and Documents.

 

Make Sure,  the Migration Tool files have also been removed from your Main Prepar3D folder,  you will know these from Date and Name,  Remove them,  these can cause a big headache.

 

(2) Is EZdok working Ok ? 

 

(3) Do you hear the UT2 music when you start Prepar3D?  

 

(4) Your Simobjects.cfg is all messed up looking,   Are you sure you Copied and Pasted the Simobjects.cfg from the Real Prepar3D Simobjects.cfg and not the Fake Simobjects.cfg from the Migration Tool

 

The Numbers should read, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 

 

Delete your Simobjects.cfg,  Start Prepar3D and let it build a new one and then add this to the Bottom of it
