• 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.

Hello Everybody.

I have just a small question. How can i use Scenery created with SBuilderX in FS9? I tried to import the SBX in Sbuilder 2.05 but that does not works. It says: "Invalid SBX" or something. I know that textures and structures are different against FS9 but i think that their must be a way to convert but i couldn't find it. I don't want to recreate it in SBuilder 2.05 because i really like the Photo background function supplied in SBuilderX:cool:

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks,
Florian;)
 
Hi,

Hopefully Luis reads you question here and gives his answer, but I don't think SBuilderX is backwards compatible with the old SBuilder.
 
Hello Florian,

As Arno pointed out, SBuilder205 is not compatible with SBuilderX. You can bring old projects into SBuilderX but not the reverse.

I do not know what you would like to do. The BGLs files created for FSX do not work in FS9. The only suggestion that I can make is trying to export Lines and polys though BLN and then import them in the older version. May be there are other possibilities but I would need to know exactly what you want to do (what type of types you want to take to FS9, ...).

Happy New Year,

Luis
 
Hello Luis,

Thank you for your reply. Via Google Earth i was able to make a very detailled landclass and i wanted to use it in FS9 with the textures used by FS9. I made also roads etc.

But i am working now with Sbuilder 2.05 which works really wel via connection with FS9.

Cheers,
Florian
 
Hi, it's me again. I have now a problem with FS2004 and SBuilder 2.05. I made a landclass and now see this:

Can anybody help me out?

Hello,

I do not know what is the problem with your scenery shown in the picture. Please open the BGL in TMFViewer and check what index is giving the gray texture.

In order to port your landclass to FS9, consider using the TIF file that SBX produces. You need to make a full LOD5 in FS9 using the transparent tile for filling purposes.

Kind Regards,

Luis
