• 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.

How to add user library objects?

Hi Arno!

I tried to add a user library but it did not work. What did I wrong:

I assume, I have to copy the structure of the generic.xml. I did so, copied the file into a new file and exchanged the GUIDs and Names. If I try to add it, the status bar says "added", but nothing happens and no new objects or libraries are visible in the list. Even not after a quit and restart of the object placer.

Please help.

Hi Georg,

No, you just need to load the library XML source file (the one that you can compile with BGLComp). After that the library should shown fine.

Hmp! I'm thinking to complex :eek:

And I did not read the manual properly: :banghead:

User library objects When you add the XML source of your own object library, a new
entry will be made in this category. Under this entry you can then find all the objects of
this user library. When using these objects, you need to make sure that you distribute
the library BGL together with your placement BGL.
