• 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.

Any way to get the lat/lon from an existing ground poly BGL?

Well, I went and did it. Somehow I managed to throw away the asm files for one of my ground polys - something I never do. Naturally, this is the file that I have to tweak now, and I'm not sure of the lat/lon I need to output it again. Normally I'd be no problem, but I've since output another ground poly in a different location, overwriting the stored lat/lon in MakeMDL. Agh.

Does anyone know of a way to extract the lat/lon from a compiled ground poly BGL?
 
Hi Bill,

You can decompile the BGL file with BGLAnalyze, that will give you a SCASM file where you can read the coordinates. You should find them in the RefPoint command.
 
Many thanks, Arno. It's been a long time since I decompiled one of these older files, and even longer since I read SCASM ;-).
