Poppet, first and foremost thank you for putting all this together. I have had UT2 for some time now and could not figure out a way to make it work in P3D without using the EMT.
I don't use that and didn't want to and really would of hated to use it just for UT2 so I was searching and came across your post.I did the steps for the manual install as you said. When I start the UT2 Control Panel I am able to see all options, no errors and all seems to be running well. I start P3Dv3.2 and I hear the UT2 Music playing, no errors.
My only thing is so far I have done two short flights(there were quickies just to test stuff out 15 min) so far and the only traffic I am seeing is a King Air. I was in PNW at Friday Harbor and only seen one King Air South of me, then did the default flight at Eglin AFB in FL and only seen an additional three King Air. Is there something I am missing here?Now I will say this. My P3D install was not fresh and I do have FSX and P3Dv2.5 all installed but they are on independent drives and I have checked both of them, no files leaked over or nothing of that sort and as I said all things seem to be in the right place. I did do all the steps and as said I got no errors so far. Only thing I did that you said not to do was I adjusted my traffic in P3D, reason being before I did the install of UT2 I had all my AI levels at 0. So I went in and turned them up to 45 Commercial and 45 GA.
Still nothing! I even went to the dummy FSX.CFG and changed the traffic values in there since they were 0 also and made them match my current ones. Not sure where else to look. Any ideas?:::::UPDATE:::::: Still nothing as of yet, I have tried now going to the busiest airspace in the country around LAX and still have nothing. No traffic at the gates and only airborne traffic is KA350. I went and checked the tail numbers of the default KA that comes with P3D, FSX etc it's the same one really but one thing I did notice is all the Tail #'s of the ones flying are different on each one and don't match the default CFG file Tails for the KA. So I am unsure where it is getting that information from.
SMH, this is frustrating as I am so close but yet seems so far. Thank You Soooo MUCH Elaine. I took the plunge after much research and comparing between UT2 and mytraffic6. I was an old traffic user and was looking for a change and your post tipped the scales for me.
I am so satisfied everything went perfectly on the UT2 install following your post. Now I'm flying P3d V3.2 with my various payware airports, loving it. Nice models, night lighting the whole setup compared to MT6.Next I'll get to adding more AI airplanes, paints and flight plans.You really should pin this like you did for my traffic 6. I just happened to stumble on it but it was truely helpful. So I am happy to report that my UT2 is now working in free flight and online via VATSIM.
So attention to detail is key for me. This morning I went back through all the steps to see if I was missing something and in fact I was.

Actually it was not missing, I simply did not place it in the right area. I noticed in Elaine's post where she was referring to the simobjects.cfg and the entry that needed to be made there. So what I did not notice was that the path for that simobjects.cfg is in a different location. I was a bit confused by that so I looked on my machine and could not find that folder named 'Programdata'. But then it clicked to me this morning that on my machine that is a hidden folder, so I needed to go to my folder options and select 'Show Hidden Folders and files' and wit that led me to the simobjects.cfg and the one entry that needed to be made which was adding line 10 in the CFG.Yesterday when I did this process I did not see the simobjects.cfg in my main P3D folder and that is where I was confused so I created my own new one and dropped it in my main P3D folder and was wondering why nothing was happening. It all turns out I simply was looking in the wrong spot, didn't need to create the file but simply find the one on my machine int he right location.Again, happy to report all is well and my traffic is flowing like normal, FANTASTIC!

Not working for me either, I have followed the instructions to the letter, checked and triple checked and everything is in the correct locations but on start up get fsx.cfg is missing, managed somehow to cure that although it was correctly in p3d folder and now get flight simulator x missing!! Have tried everything including fresh install of p3d and Windows 10 at least 3 times but cannot get it working.On one of my attempts I tried with migration tool enabled and that time got no error messages and altered ut2 interface to show max aircraft but on starting p3d got no ut2 music and sure enough no aircraft.
What is really infuriating is that I had ut2 working fine in p3d version 2.5 but cannot for the life of me do so in 3.2.Currently using version 3.2. 16769 and migration tool 3.2.9 1011 which is the latest version.Any further suggestions gratefully received.Ian. This Tutorial and the steps outlined in it are designed only for use Without any Migration ToolIt could be a Windows 10 thing, i don't know, i don't have Windows 10.If your using the Migration Tool, get rid of it you Do Not need it. Please Note: when you Uninstall the Migration Tool it will still leave files at the bottom on your main Prepar3D folder, you will know them by Date, Delete them.-FusionsIf your not hearing any music and not seeing any aircraft i would first start at your exe.xml file, can you Copy and Paste it here and give me wee gander at it:smile.
Elaine,I have currently deleted everything and have done a fresh install of Windows 10. I'm lucky as only use this computer for simming so I will start afresh tomorrow with installing p3d and then ut2 as until I have that working I won't install anything else. Will let you know either way how it goes and paste you my Exe.xml if needed.One thing I am curious with is my p3d entry in my main folder doesn't show.exe extension as per your illustration just p3d but if you hover the mouse over the application it does show as exe. Could this be an issue?Thanks for your helpIan.
Ok I've installed power pack and now i'm trying to update via WOAI but all that the powerpack looks for is a UT2 Database file?You'll need to read the directions that come with Power Pack or watch some tutorial YouTube videos. Power Pack won't update via WOAI, it's a little more complicated than that.If you have detailed questions on the use of Power Pack, I'd suggest you search the UT2 forum here -I'd suggest that you read the instructions or watch some videos, educate yourself on it, then if you still have questions ask the UT2 forum or here.
