• 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.

    BGLDEC - A resample BGL (and CGL) DECompressor

    Oh you just gave me an idea so I can fix the FSX DEM for australia. They had pixelispoint incorrectly set for Australia dem leading to a 15m shift of the DEM in sim which is problematic for Brisbane City. Thanks for your post you’ve given me ideas for fixes.

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    I've updated the program to now provide both steam and microsoft store versions of the sim. I have noticed however due to changes since I designed the program MSFSBglXml is now unable to extract certain BGL files such as APX15180.bgl and APX15170.bgl which covers KSFO. This could be the issue...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    Yeah no worries. Jon’s work on ADE was a Godsend after Lee Swordy left AFCAD behind. I stopped using ADE over 15 years ago once I started hand coding XML and using Google Earth KML’s to plot out airports. I’ve mostly wanted to properly do up YBAF, YAMB and YBOK but those got shelved while I...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    I’m not sure what the issue would be there. It should open a command window and ask you to input the airport ICAO code you want. Just hit midnight here but I’ll record a video tutorial tomorrow. If the program isn’t opening you may need to check antivirus software isn’t hijacking the file and...

    MSFS20 Parking space distances apart?

    Oh 5 characters is awesome that should help tremendously. I love working with the XML code lol I’m a nerd. I originally started on YBAF for FS2004 mapping out the airport in Google Earth Pro. Much faster to lay stuff out there and if I can generate a converter like the old KML2BGL it could be...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    Hi Marc, I just tried running it on my c: drive from: C:\MSFS Airport Extractor and c:\msfsbglxml and nothing was written to the directory. I moved the folders to my e: drive so they don't require admin permission to run and boom it worked. So I just tried again in my c: drive folder after...

    MSFS20 Parking space distances apart?

    Thanks so much xavios!!! Ahhh that makes sense due to the Marshallers and push back services. Definitely a bit of a pain that whole system as it’s rare in GA to have any of that. I’ll try turning off those services in all the aircraft.cfg files for GA aircraft in my system and see if per...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    Hmmm, I can't recall what I was doing the other day in another program but all the XML schema for MSFS is contained in some propdef files. Now I can't for the life of me recall what I was doing, it had something to do with AI Offline Traffic or AI ATC or something and it had me point to the...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    Thanks, I may actually use that seeing as my program is now borked for some reason... I was actually referring to my program at the top of the thread. It worked when I built it, but now isn't saving the XML file. It locates the source BGL file and says it has made the .XML file but nothing...

    MSFS20 Changes with MSFS SU14 : Runways assignment

    I'm still longing for multi frequency support for differing runways. YBAF has one frequency for one runway (departures east and south) and another frequency for the other runway (departures north and west).

    MSFS20 Parking space distances apart?

    This isn't necessarily an ADE specific question, it also applies to SDK compiled parking. I was reworking YBAF to add all the missing parking spaces and in testing it with ground aircraft set to 100% in the traffic settings it didn't populate every parking space, it seems to most times populate...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    I just tested it again on my system to try and extract YAMB and while it says it's saved the xml nothing has appeared, it seems to have found the AP***.bgl file that it's supposed to reside in. I'm wondering if Asobo has encoded the BGL's or changed the format for the World Hub airports...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    Just took a look at it and not really providing functionality that I need... I love how he's designed it to build a project though. I'm wondering what sort of bugs as I haven't seen anything untoward in YBAF, YAMB or other airports I've worked with.

    Blender Object not showing

    Have you checked if the object is referenced in the layout.json ? If it's not referenced in the layout.json it won't get loaded, i.e. anything new added to the scenery folder. Can just drop the layout.json file onto MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe

    Getting this after Update 15

    In your addon folder there should be a layout.json and manifest.json. Just drag and drop the layout.json over the MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe and it will update what's in the subfolder. Example from one of the projects I'm working on: { "content": [ { "path"...

    Getting this after Update 15

    Have you updated the layout.json to inform the texture location of the addon, assuming you probably use MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe to update that? Just wanting to verify that's not the cause of the issue. I've sometimes forgotten to update the layout.json when I add something new or rename...

    MSFS20 Considering Resurrecting ProjectAI

    So back in the early 2000's I was one of the team at ProjectAI and worked closely with Matt and Frank as well as others on the team who were part of the FS2004 and FSX beta teams. That work of course led to Tom's awesome work at Flight1 for Ultimate Traffic and then Ultimate Traffic X. There...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    I'm wanting to revisit this, I tried looking for Patrick's decompiler via google search but so far have only come up with is https://www.aero.sors.fr › bgltools which is FSX/FS9. Is there a newer version for MSFS? I'm coming back around to this and will try and work with you on a solution for...

    MSFS20 FSX style BGL Touch n Go Schedules for MSFS

    DAY 3 UPDATE: It indeed does seem the bug with scheduling is tied in to live system time. Today's date where I am is Sat Jul 13, I had to change the computer's system time to Wed July 17 to get the right day's AI schedule. I need to investigate further what the time offset is however. I am...
