• 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 have MSFS.. I was wanting to get the McCarran terminal (Janet Terminal) (Just the terminal bldg object) I used it in FSX but I have no clue how to get it out of FSX/ADE: I really wanted to use it in my airport :) I got the info from here: http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/sceneobjects/alpham.html

You can use ModelConverterX to find and extract the model from the default FSX files. Then save it as glTF format and use it as a MSFS object. But this would be for personal use only, as the model is copyright by Microsoft.
 
I have this : do this look right? If so how do I get it into ade to place as a scenery object and compile it..Sorry I am a pain....Trying to learn and grasp all this new fangled stuff..

Thanks :) In landmark.bgl its 55mb...do I use a tool to open the bgl to see that particular one?
 
still at it lol...I am reading this: Now I have converted this and I have these and textures in the package sources but to add this i need a bgl and i don't have the bgl with the converted do I need to have abgl as well to add to library to place.


No the SDS-egcw folder will contain the sources for glTF models. Mdl files are legacy supported in MSFS but the new standard is glTF. So
  • If you have models (glTF) that you want as part of the project (user custom models in past ADE versions) then the source is placed in the ModelLib folder and built as part of the project package
  • If you have a set of models that you have in a library then these can be loaded into the ADE Library Object Manager and then placed. The models are not part of the package but just referenced. In any case you need to convert mdl models or libraries of mdl models with MCX to create glTF models and the library containing them needs to be placed in the Community folder of the sim. Bascially the same workflow as older versions of ADE/FS
