Question Can Some one please explain to me how to "Activate" modulemessaging

[Sparky]

Okay so I am very new with orbiter addons I have a few giving me problems which I think I figured out but I cannot figure out how to get the ModuleMessaging to work. I uninstaled than installed my test orbiter file, a secondary oribter I used to make sure that the addons work. I did this three times and nothing so I read readme for moduleMessaging again (cause I thought it was trying to tell me to just put it in the directery like the others did) and it gives a complex wording I didn't understand then is said for more details look in the doc in doxygen folder. I looked everywhere for it in the doxygen fold and it's subfold but couldn't find this document.
Can I please get a step by step instruction as to how to do this prossess? It's driving me nuts I would like to do more than Earth to moon transits using transfterMFD.

By transferMFD, do you mean TransX?

As far as I know, ModuleMessaging just allows you to transfer data between TransX, LaunchMFD, and other MFDs. You can do more than Earth to Moon transfers solely with TransX-no need for ModuleMessaging.

What two MFDs are you trying to transfer data between?

Just extract it onto Orbiter's root directory. There's no need to specifically enabling it. The addons, which are dependent on the DLL, will automatically find it. If not, they will complain.

then is said for more details look in the doc in doxygen folder. I looked everywhere for it in the doxygen fold and it's subfold but couldn't find this document.

The package is partly a dependency for other addons and partly a developers' resource, hence the SDK in the name of it. The doxygen documentation serves only as explanation for developers how to enable MM capabilities in their own modules.

As far as I know, ModuleMessaging just allows you to transfer data between TransX, LaunchMFD, and other MFDs.

Precisely from TransX to BurnTime MFD (BTC) and from TransX to Launch MFD.

You can do more than Earth to Moon transfers solely with TransX-no need for ModuleMessaging.

Correct, but you still need to install it for the addons to work at all.

NO I meant I've been using transferMFD I am getting tired of just trying to go to the moon I want to go to mars and Jupiter (Not on the same trip or same simulation) for my first trips using transx. TransferMFD doesn not let you target on any other celestial body other than the moon and since I don't understand how to get module messaging to work transx won't work which is what I need to go somewhere other than the moon. Before "installing" anything for orbiter I read the readme and it said that the hack works a specific way they didn't explain to for someone who doesn't do that kind of thing everyday. Generally I try to stay away from that sort of thing but I'm willing to make an excepting for Orbiter so I need a step by step instruction as to how to do it.

Sorry I had posted my last post before just before ENJO posted his comment. Thanks guys I'm trying transX now and if I got need more help I'll post something in the transX thread.

Any time. Take your time to familiarize yourself with the addon environment.

I read the readme and it said that the hack works a specific way

Not really. Just a little bit of out-of-the-box-thinking concept. Now HUD Drawer SDK - that's a hack big time!
