• 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.

My question is that I've made autogen for FSX for a place.

Got the .agn files in my FSX textures folder.

Is there anyway to get these files converted into FS9 format because I really dont want to do all the autogen placement by hand all over again.

Looking for all kinds of possiblities!

Regards.
 
Hi,

Yes, with my agn2txt and txt2agn9 tool that should be possible. But be aware that fs2004 does not support all autogen types that fsx has. So if you form example used polygonal vegetation, that can't be converted.

Arno, you never cease to amaze us all.

Thanks a lot for the info, will look into it!
 
is there any easier way to convert all the .agn files of FSX format into .txt format? all-together?

or is it necessary to separately work for each file in cmd prompt like?

"agn2txt.exe xxxxxxx.agn > xxxxxxx.txt"

And what types of common buildings and vegetation is supported by FS9 and FSX?

Regards
 
Hi,

You can try with the convert function of "AGN Merge Tool".
Copy your AGN folder into "Tiles", select your folder in AGN Merge Tool, Check all files, select FS9 as output, setup FS9 veget features and Check "use..." in FS9 setup windows. Finaly clic on "Convert" Button & Get the results into "Convert" Folder.

I think that Polyvegetation & Polybuilding are not supported by FS9 format.

With a tool to generate a file listing within a folder, like Karen's Dir Prin and a text editor that handles search and replace, you could have a batch file made up in about 2 minutes that would handle all that.
 
...or you can use something like:

for %f in (*.agn) do "D:\MSFS\ModelConverterX\agn2txt.exe" %f > %~nf.txt

which will decompile them all at once. Modify the agn2txt.exe path to suit your installation of course.
 
I usually use the last option, but I like command prompt batch files :)
