• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    Multiple KML files Build

    Mace, No sounds OK to me.:) It's just that in the instructions Matthew says "You may add multiple KML files. A FSX BGL file will be generated for each KML input file". I guess he can comment on that. But your method sounds pretty neat to me. More ways than just one to skin the cat.;)...

    Multiple KML files Build

    Been out of action and having a mental block!:confused: My problem is related to FSX KML only building one of a list of KML files. I have three files listed immediately below the program icons. However, I can only get one of these to show up beneath the “Name” and “Description” headings...

    moving runway a little...

    I have just started using Tileproxy and notice that while at main airports the runways align OK but smaller airports are off by up to 30 or more degrees in Washington state particulary around Yacolt (WA). Walter Suttons air strip for example and others appear to be in the wrong location and run...

    Ingolf, Can you give me a link to SDE-09 Google gives me links that seem to take a very long time to load. Also I want to rotate a runway to align with the photoscenery. Will SDE-09 do this without much difficulty.? Re F

    The annotator veggie problem

    Greetings All, After a spell just coming back to look at FSX again. Can someone assist with the FSX annotator. I can get an autogen building to appear on a DXT1 tile OK. However having difficulty understanding what to do to get veggies to show up. I have the ‘Control’ menu open and have...

    FSX - Z sorting between objects?

    I have produced several objects with Gmax and have so far not had any problems. So I am interested under what specific conditions does one get these sorting “Z” problems? so I can avoid them as far as possible in the future. (This question is not directed at anyone in particular). Oh, and my...

    Oil Rig Demo in FSX SDK - Compiles but Can't See It

    OK. I finally got the oil-rig to appear in the scenery (at YBTH Bathurst NSW in my case). Created a MDL file with GMAX and used the following xml file for bglcomp.exe: <?xml version="1.0"?> <FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'...

    Method for Placing Existing Library Objects into FSX Scenery

    This description is from my own personal notes just compiled but they may be of some use to those trying or attempting for the first time to place existing scenery objects into FSX using the updated SDK. All care but no responsibility etc of course but enjoy. To place existing FSX Library...

    Oil Rig Demo in FSX SDK - Compiles but Can't See It

    Like Odaat I have had success only so far with displaying the watertower that I placed at Bathurst Airport in New South Wales Aust behind runway 350. In fact it also introduced a flying flock of 10 birds behind the Tower! <?xml version="1.0"?> <FSData version="9.0"...

    Oil Rig Demo in FSX SDK - Compiles but Can't See It

    I too have had no luck. With the addition of Modeldata suggested above I get a parsing error. Without it my xml is similar to Odaat but in a different location. It compiles and I stuck the bgl in Addon Scenery folder -but no show. One question- where does Gmax put the dds textures it generates?

    GMax plugin for FsX

    Hi folks, Gmax with the new FSTools plugin from the new updated SDK does not allow export of an *.x file so how can you export the oil-rig object example since MDL format is no longer supported.?

    Oil Rig Demo in FSX SDK - Compiles but Can't See It

    Well thats interesting. I have just come to a brick wall given that Gmax won't save an .x file even though the SDK says the export procedure is the same as for 3dsmax. I cant imagine that it would require the route you have taken Odaat, something missing here. Looks like we need further...

    FSX SDK for 3DS Max: Installation nonsense

    I have just installed it. You have to already have FSX Delux version installed and it will update the folder "Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK" in the Microsoft Games folder (in the Program files). You may not have the Delux version!
