UT2 for V3

[Mickeyj 35]

It is pretty easy, look for your exe.xml of P3D. add these lines to it. Remember to add the path of the UT"services.exe.

 

 <Launch.Addon>

     <Disabled>False</Disabled>

     <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

     <Name>UT2</Name>

     <Path>IS WHERE YOUR UT2SERVICES.exe IS LOCATED ON YOUR SSD</Path>

     <NewConsole>True</NewConsole>

  </Launch.Addon>

 

Then look for the simobjects.cfg. Add this line under the very last entry of the .cfg and replace the big red X with the next following number.

 

SimObjectPaths.X=PATH WERE THE UT2 AIRCRAFTS ARE INSTALLED WITHIN FSX\UT2 Aircraft

 

You shouldnt get an error message as you have FSX properly installed.

Hi Mickey, thanks for this. It seems my ut2services dont get loaded and also dont appear in the addon task bar within P3D. something must be wrong. if you could help would be great.

FSX is installed and working as well as UT2 with latest db schedule.

 

This is how i have it set now:

 

For the exe.xml locations there is two on my system:

 

1. C:\Users\stephan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

2. C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

 

So I added these lines to both, I confirmed that the ut2services.exe is in that folder specified below:

 

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

<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="exe">

<Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>

<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>

  <Launch.Addon>

    <Name>Flight Recorder</Name>

    <Disabled>False</Disabled>

    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

    <Path>G:\Prepar3D\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Flight Recorder\AS-FlightRecorder.dll</Path>

  </Launch.Addon>

</SimBase.Document>

<Launch.Addon>

     <Disabled>False</Disabled>

     <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

     <Name>UT2</Name>

     <Path>C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe>

     <NewConsole>True</NewConsole>

  </Launch.Addon>

 

For the simobjects.cfg file I am not sure I am doing it right as you mentioned just adding the single line to it.

No need to add the [Entry.10]....?:

Hi Stephan,

 

0 < 9. Has to be 10. Also try this entry in Simobject.cfg. This assumes 10 is the next sequentially available number. Also you csn set Required=False for this entry. UT2 is not default:

 

[Entry.10]

Title=UT2 Aircraft

Path=C:\FSX\steamapps\common\FSX\Simobjects\UT2 Aircraft

Required=False

Active=True

 

The single line entry you added, needs to be put into your FSX.cfg file. If FSX is installed on your machine, put it in the actual file. If not, add it into the fake/copy you created. Put it into the [Main] section. Again if, for any reason, there are any other Simobjects entries, they have to be consecutive.

I just got an xml error by active sky mentioning an error. so my typing or spacing must be wrong...

Stephen, Here is the exe.xml you referenced in your last post:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

The following entry is in the middle of the document. It has to be the last entry:

</SimBase.Document>

 

Your exe.xml should look like this:

thanks Graham, do i have to edit both exe.xml

i have two locations for the exe.xml files

ok updated it in only this location:

C:\Users\stephan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

no errors on startup which is good but no traffic...do i have to set traffic on under settings as well? normally this externally controlled...

ok updated it in only this location too:

C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

 

no error and started up but also no traffic :-(

edit: ok the path was wrong at the end.

now i get a red stop sign for a few sec then sim starts. but still no traffic

edit 2:

okay so I removed the entry in this location :

and i see traffic now from UT2, but i have no VC now. my entry must be still wrong in the exe.xml ?

Hallo Stefan, 

 

you dont have to set traffic within P3D as UT2 is in charge. You need to edit just the exe.xml which is located in the C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

 

What you can do is to check if UT2 is listed under the Add On menu in P3D. If it starts during Sim startup you should here the Ultimate Traffic 2 aural. If this is not the case you can start it manually via a double click on ut2services.exe.

Hi MJ

That did not work, i have to edit the location in AppData Roaming LM P3D location. if i use this location C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3. I see no AI traffic but when I use this location : C:\Users\stephan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 I see AI traffic and the menu entry in the add on bar, but i dont have any VC with this option...

 

edit:

 

ok got it to work now, I removed this line: 

    <NewConsole>True</NewConsole>

 

now the VC appears and AI traffic is started with add on entry, nice.

will give it a try now if all works thanks much everyone!!

Sounds great  :smile:  UT2 is a great add on but can give lots of headache to install into P3D. If you have the ne FSUIPC version then you can try to limit the traffic further see here http://www.avsim.com/topic/500104-fsuipc-4959-now-has-an-ai-traffic-limiter-somewhat-like-the-traffic-optimizer-addon/page-3?hl=%2Bfsuipc+%2Btraffic#entry3533837
