Hello everyone
After reading "Scenery Creation in FSX Part 1" in the current issue of PCPilot, I downloaded and installed SbuilderX. I was happy to read that the install was successful however I am unable to load the programme. There are four messages which appear - here are the first three:
The fourth message is a long list (about 15) of error (missing?) files.
I have tried the usual - uninstall - reinstall - reboot - wait etc.
Briefly my system details are: Win XP Prof with SP2, 3GHz Intel Core2 Duo, 4Gb Ram and I'm using FSX Delux.
I wonder if someone can help please?
Thank you
Phil

Re: Problem loading SbuilderX
Message #1 indicates SDK tools are not in the right folder ( C:\Program Files\SBuilderX\Tools ). It lists the 4 tools you need there. Just copy them to that folder.
Everyone gets message #2 the first time the program is run. It tells you to wait, and you should.
The other messages are because Message #1's problem was not fixed.

Thanks rhumbaflappy
That confirms what I thought BUT, please excuse my ignorance, where do I get the SDK tools from? They appear not to be on my system so I googled and learned that at least the Shapes to Vector tool comes with a FS developers kit - this wasn't mentioned in the magazine article - or am I missing something here?

Re: Problem loading SbuilderX
If you have installed the FSX SDK, you should find the tools in:
BGKComp.exe and bglcomp.xsd...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\BGL Compiler SDK
ImageTool.exe, resample.exe, Shp2Vec.exe in...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Terrain SDK
I'm guessing you have never installed the FSX SDK.

Hi again Dick
You guessed right of course - in fact just before this second reply I had another look at the magazine and in the first paragraph there is in fact an oblique reference to this information.
Thanks again - I'm now off to build an airstrip on the playing field of the school I teach at so you can probably expect more questions over the next few months!

Hi Phil.
Glad you sorted it out.
Look also here:
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1501
The new DLL will allow viewing Google images... they changed their URL address for tiles.
