[RESOLVED] Traffic Toolbox CTD P3Dv3.4

Post by JoHubb »

Running in W10x64.

FSUIPC 4.971

When I open 'Explorer' in Toolbox I get a blank box, then CTD.
The dxl.dll is in ......AppData/Roaming/Lockheed Martin/Prepare3D v3

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

There is another dll.xml in ProgramData/Lockheed Martin/Prepare3D v3

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="dll">
<Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>

</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Flight Recorder</Name>
<Path>Aerosoft\Flight Recorder\AS-FlightRecorder.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>


I'd be grateful for advice on how to get this useful program running properly. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

I changed the path to the [Program Files x86] version of the toolbox.dll and amended the rest of the entry.

Same result. A blank box which, when closed, produces a CTD.

Is this a known bug? If so, is there a fix?

On my setup my dll.xml file is here:
C:\Users\Vaughan\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

On my setup my P3Dv3 SDK folder is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 SDK 3.4.22.19868

On my setup my P3Dv3 TrafficToolbox.dll file is inside this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 SDK 3.4.22.19868\Environment SDK\Traffic Toolbox SDK

On my setup my P3Dv3 a sample dll.xml (named dll.xml) file is inside this folder [use a text editor to look at it]:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 SDK 3.4.22.19868\Environment SDK\Traffic Toolbox SDK

The path that I use in my dll.xml file to get TrafficToolbox to run in P3Dv3 is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 SDK 3.4.22.19868\Environment SDK\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll


My full dll.xml entry for TrafficToolbox is:
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 SDK 3.4.22.19868\Environment SDK\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

With each new version of P3D in your Account there will also be an SDK to download and install.
After installing the new SDK you have to change the Path in your dll.xml for TrafficToolBox to match.

Traffic Toolbox up and running! Thanks!

I had mixed up some P3D v2 SDK with bits of P3D v3.2 SDK, and then some. In other words, the P3D program was in a mess.
I did a complete uninstall of P3D v3 with all the odds and ends I could find, then reinstalled P3D v3.4 with the corresponding SDK.

I chose to be drastic because I was never happy with the way the sim ran. It means reinstalling a bagful of ORBX and other stuff but it should be worth it.

Thanks again!
