• 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.

A question about CREATEXMLLIBOBJ

Hello

I would like to create power lines (tower) with the parameter:
CREATEXMLLIBOBJ and ScenProc file:

IMPORTOSM | test.osm | * | power; tower

EXPORTSHP | * | test

CREATEXMLLIBOBJ|FTYPE=POINT;power=tower|{54382ec5-b1bd-4a43-aa1a-4f5f529356c3}|tower|6;6|noautogensup

EXPORTBGL | FSX | VenetoPunto_Power | D: \ TextureAGN

The file works perfectly towers are exactly the precise point, the problem is that the direction is the same for everyone and that is 0 HDG

How can I do to have the towers in the right direction?
What parameters I have to add, if you can.

I know you can do place along the power line also, but so the towers will be positioned at a distance from the regular parameter:

PLACEPOINTSALONGLINE | FTYPE = LINE, power = line | 320 | 5 | type | power | hdg
and are also turned in the right direction.

but they are not in the exact location on the map.

How to solve?
Thank you.

Anto.
 
Hi,

I don't think that openstreetmap data contains attributes about the heading of the towers. So there is no easy way to fix this.

Maybe I can make a new step where point features can be given an additional heading attribute based on the direction of nearby line features.
 
Welcome back ...

Oops you're right I had not seen that attribute is missing HDG, I seemed to have seen instead there is only the coordinates.
The solution proposed by you may be running if it were possible .....
I had more than a few test referring also to the power line and tower points but to no avail.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll add it to the wish list and have a look at it.
