January 28, 20242 yr Just re-installed v5.3 over the weekend, sitting here at work now and only just realised that I did not install the SDK for the sim. Is it required? Do I have to install it - by that I mean will certain add-ons not work if it isn't installed? Everything to do with the re-install has gone fairly smoothly - multiple PMDG planes, multiple ORBX sceneries and airports, AIG AI, Active Sky etc. - everything has worked except GSX. I cannot get the menu to appear in sim by pressing the usual CTRL+ F12 or via the menu, just covering bases and wondering if that may have anything to do with the SDK not being present.

January 28, 20242 yr If you use add-ons that communicate with the sim via Simconnect--and that's a whole bunch of different add-ons--you'll want the P3D-specific SDK installed for reliable operation, as well as all of the legacy FSX Simconnect side-by-side libraries, which means you also need to install all of the SDKs--FSX RTM, FSX SP1 and FSX SP2/Acceleration versions in order. Some of those may still be present from your previous install--but I would advise reinstalling all of them just to cover all the bases.

I used to play around with ADE (or something similar) in the FS9 days, leave it to the professionals now though hahaha 3 minutes ago, Bob Scott said: If you use add-ons that communicate with the sim via Simconnect--and that's a whole bunch of different add-ons--you'll want the P3D-specific SDK installed for reliable operation, as well as all of the legacy FSX Simconnect side-by-side libraries, which means you also need to install all of the SDKs--FSX RTM, FSX SP1 and FSX SP2/Acceleration versions in order.

Ok I will install the correct SDK when I get home, thank you Bob and John, much appreciated. i9-13900K | 6400MHz DDR5 (32GB) | GeForce RTX 4090 24GB MSFS 2024 | PMDG 777-300ER | FBW A380X | Fenix A320 | ini A350
