Using SiteBuilderX with Prepar3D

Featured Replies

Hi, I just installed SBX after installing Prepar3d, and somethings arent working correctly. 

When I start SBX, it gives me prompts which say the following:
-Check your Polys.txt file!
-Check your Lands.txt file!
-Check your Waters.txt file!
-Check your Bridges.txt file!


I'm currently unable to show the background in SBX. When I navigate View > Show background, the text for "Show background" is greyed out and I can't click it. Why is this? 


Initial FSX Settings:
---------------------------------

Full Path to Flight Simulator:
C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 - (in RED)

Name of the Simulator:
P3D


Shp2Vec.exe, Resample.exe and ImageTool.exe:
(unable to load folder where these items ACTUALLY are)

BglComp.exe and BglComp.xsd:
C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\SBX315\Tools - (in black)

Shp2Vec.exe, Resample.exe and ImageTool.exe:
(unable to load folder where these items ACTUALLY are)

---------------------------------

 

 

 

I noticed that it says on that dialog box that "The following tools should exist in the SBuilderX/Tools folder.", so I copied the files(Shp2Vec.exe, Resample.exe, ImageTool.exe, Shp2Vec.exe, Resample.exe and ImageTool.exe) from the P3d subfolders into the SBuilderX/Tools folder.

 

 

 


After this, the FSX Settings dilog box looked like this:
---------------------------------

Full Path to Flight Simulator:
C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 - (in black)

Name of the Simulator:
P3D


Shp2Vec.exe, Resample.exe and ImageTool.exe:
C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\SBX315\Tools - (in black)

BglComp.exe and BglComp.xsd:
C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\SBX315\Tools - (in black)

Shp2Vec.exe, Resample.exe and ImageTool.exe:
C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\SBX315\Tools - (in black)

---------------------------------

 

 

 

Thanks!

Update: I found out how to solve that issue of the greyed out 'Show Background', but there appears to be another missing folder!

HOW TO SOLVE: You need to choose a tile server. This uses a google plug in and requires internet connection.

edit > preferences(some versions dont have this)
ELSE
edit > tile servers > select 'google_api3_Satelite' > CHECK the checkbox beside it

The is a prompt when I try to pan a scene that reads the following: "Globally Exeption. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\SBX315\Tools\Cursors\pan.cur'."

I went to the path and the 'Cursors' folder was missing. Where can I find/download this folder?
