• 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.

I know this is probably pretty basic but I just started. I am using FSDS V3 and when trying to create a library it seems I am missing a GUID. How do I assign that or get one for my model? The error is as follows:

I hope this is in the right spot. Thanks!

Parsing document: library_creator_xml_temp_compile.xml

Hi,

The tool should create a new random GUID for you, so that you don't have to worry about that.

Which version are you using (1.0 or the 2.0 alpha)? Could you as attach the created XML file so that I can see what the problem is.
 
Hi,

I tried to reproduce your error here, but I can't yet. I can compile without errors here. So a few more questions:

  • Are you sure you are using the Fs2004 BGLComp to compile?
  • Which version does show at the bottom right of the screen? Does Library Creator XML tell you it thinks it is a Fs2004 library?
  • Are you using a GMax template XML or have you created a new library from scratch with Library Creator XML?
 
Forget my last post. It is indeed a bug in Library Creator 2.0. It is something with the Fs2004 XML code, while I had mainly test it with FsX. I'll try to fix this bug this evening.
 
Fixed now, new build available in this thread.
