Avalon

I know next to nothing about the SDK so forgive the lack of knowledge, but if I were to build a model of something and import it, using the SDK, would I then be able to test how that model works in the actual sim itself? Or am I relegated to only testing it in an SDK environment?

Will it be possible to record a specific path for the drone to fly through a scene?

Is there some kind of licensing for using footage you capture in the sim? I'm an animator/video producer and I'm creating a 3D ad for a real estate client where It just dawned on me that MSFS would be a phenomenal place to build my 3D landscape for the "camera" to fly around in, rather than simply using a flat map in Cinema 4D. The video production capabilities are going to be endless.

Thanks for this post. This also helped me narrow things down very heavily.

I am posting this for the sake of anyone who uses WizMouse (GREAT program), so they might not have to go through what I have, BUT, if you read through, it has to be more than WizMouse on other systems. My issues were a bit unique in that the sim did not CTD. What DID happen is that when I would click on a menu option, the menu option would open, but although you could click on things and the buttons would light up and respond as normal, NOTHING happened. Beyond that, the only way to kill the sim and get out of that window was to call up the task manager with ctrl+alt+delete and force it to close. So, I could fly for as long as I wanted, no problems, but as soon as I wanted to do things like open up the map, save flights, switch aircraft/airports, etc., the sim froze. HUGE BUMMER. I spent the last 9 months not being able to have a normal experience with my simulator and it has driven me nuts! I have researched so many things and have done everything from repairing my OS (win7 x64, notorious for this kind of thing), to uninstalling and reinstalling (more than 10 times) in different locations, with various tweaks, on and on and on. So I had some time this week and decided to try again...and again...and FINALLY zeroed in on WizMouse. I disable it and there it was, problem free!! Now the problem here is that I also installed FSX on my laptop that is also win7 X64 AND also has WizMouse installed. The sim did not freeze on me there, so...?? Clearly there are more variables than FSX, windows 7 x64 and WizMouse. What they might be, I have no idea, but I wanted to post my experience because in my research over the last year, I have read SO many variables where things like the UIautomationcore.dll replacement and installation outside of Program files x64 had no positive results. I hope this helps someone because this stuff happens enough to where anyone like me who has banged their heads against the wall for almost 9 months, with many hundreds of dollars of software installed, not being able to enjoy it to its fullest...yeah.

I tried this and it did not work...though not with the new install. I will report back. Still doing it.

I am hoping this is in the right forum... With the exception of my GPU which is not so bad (9800gtx+), my system is pretty solid for fsx: i7 4790k@4ghz, Win 7 pro with 32 gigs of ram. So what happens is that if I start a flight and access any of the menu bar items up top, very early in the flight, I am able to navigate through whatever and get back to the flight. But after a few minutes I try this, it will always open the menu item but will not go to any other levels of choices or even let you cancel. All that happens is the icon you click on animates like it is supposed to - then nothing happens. I have to bring up the task manager to quit the software. Fsx was doing this from the start on my last install and so I began uninstalling all of my addons, one by one and testing. I got all the way down to just fsx and it was still doing it. So I did an uninstall, cleaned my registry and started over, firing up the sim and doing a full restart after each stage of the base software, sp1 and then sp2. I have not installed anything else and it is STILL doing it. The software is on my Bitdefender list of okay software so I don't think it could be that. The only thing I noticed is that it did not ask for my license key. Any ideas?
