• 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.

    FSX Exporting from 3d Studio

    I'm still learning about all of this myself but I believe I just came up against that same issue recently.. I'm pretty sure that you need to have the MDL file in the same source folder as bglcomp, that should do the trick when you drop the XML file on the bglcomp.exe I hope that helped :)...

    Hi Arno, Well, I'm not too sure how to explain so I've uploaded some screenshots to show what I'm trying to do. These shots are the original authors bgl files, there are 4 files that display all of the flightline lighting. The top down shot shows the landing light effect used to...

    FS2004 Need Help Opening Some Scenery BGL's

    Hi Arno, Changing the code to 256 does work and the night textures are visible in MCX. :) Then to re-compile into a BGL I have to import the model into LibraryCreatorXML.. once the new file is loaded in FS9 it can be seen but the night textures don't work, the lights are dark. Wish I knew...

    FS2004 Need Help Opening Some Scenery BGL's

    Hi Arno, Yes, I decompiled it with BGLanalize 3.1 and I haven't edited any part of the texture code, just the "Lights" part we spoke about in a previous post. The strange thing is that the original BGL works just fine and displays the effect that the lightbulbs are on at night, but when I...

    Thanks Arno :) I removed all the code shown in your example and remade the model. In FS9 I open Instant Scenery and I see the light poles as an object. Then I change the time of day to night and the landing light effect is no longer there which is what I want, but the light poles no longer...

    This is great info Gary, thank you so much for your time and all the links!! :D I emailed the original author and asked him about the scenery a month or so ago, it was then that he told me all the original files had been lost over the years due to hard drive crashes, formats, etc. That's...
