I'm having an issue where my bgl files aren't showing anything in the sim.
So here's what I'm doing. I have huge data sets that I'm wanting to convert into FSX scenery. I started with my water areas. I have everything in shp files a gdb's. I used Global Mapper to convert the shp files into a kml, checked it in GE and then brought it into FSXKML and used to appropriate tags and ran the program. SHP2VEC crashes everytime I run it using FSXKML. I checked the output shp files in Global Mapper and noticed that for every feature in the file it added a vertices at 0,0. I figured this is what was crashing shp2vec so I removed them and ran just the shp file through shp2vector, and everything seemed to work correctly and the bgl was created. I fire up the sim after ensuring the bgl was in the add-on scenery and nothing was showing. I checked the bgl in TMFviewer and it displayed correctly. Not sure what I did wrong. I've done tons of scenery work using this tool but for some reason my bgl files aren't showing up in the sim. Any ideas?
Thanks
