Morning guys from the UK,

Yes your right Manuel I am using the classic FSX.

I will look in the FSX config file as you suggest and get back to you.

Cheers

Paul

Hi,

This is what I have:

Paul

[Main]
DisablePreload=0
FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.1
HideInfoText=0
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.6=MyTraffic\Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.7=C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\data\SimObjects
SimObjectPaths.8=C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects
Maximized=2
Location=440,130,1480,908,\\.\DISPLAY1
HideMenuNormal=0
HideMenuFullscreen=1
ProcSpeed=7494
PerfBucket=7

I think I just see what's wrong:

SimObjectPaths.7=C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\data\SimObjects
SimObjectPaths.8=C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects

I can see there is not any entry like this:

SimObjectPaths.x=SimObjects\UGCX

Even if you have the physical directory created (or in place)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\UGCX

FSX will not look at it, because during FSX's startup, it reads the FSX.CFG file, and it will scan all SimObjectPaths.x entries in the [Main] section, these entries indicate to the simulator where are the 3D models to load, (aircrafts, ground vehicles, etc.), anything outside is not taken in consideration. As a result, you can have UGCX correctly installed, you can see it in AddOns menu, etc, but when UGCX attempts to create the people and vehicles, it will fail, because FSX will not recognize UGCX's models, because it didn't loaded at startup because of the missing UGCX's entry is missing in the FSX.CFG.

If this directory exists in your machine:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\UGCX

Then you can just easily, open up your FSX.CFG, again, and add an entry:

SimObjectPaths.9=SimObjects\UGCX

Below this line:

SimObjectPaths.8=C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects

And save the changes in FSX.CFG, you then can start/run FSX, and UGCX should be able to create the 3D models.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

Manuel

Hi,

Well thank you guys, done what you said re the CFG file and all works great now.

Thanks for the great support, it really helps when your a PC novice like me.

All the best and stay safe.

Kind regards

Paul

 

Glad you got it sorted 🙂

It might have been a write permission block as to why those entries weren't added during install.

Cheers,
