• 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 need some help to de-compile/convert the attacheded BGL-file to a XML-file in order to delete some 3D objects which i want to re-design. and replace.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bert:

That BGL is a legacy format SCASM BGL, so an older decompiler "BGLAnalyze version 3.1" is needed; see this thread:

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19045&highlight=SCASM


BGL Analyze Disassembler - bglana31.zip - Author: Winfried Orthmann

If needed, info on an alternative SCASM BGL decompiler is here:

Hope this helps ! :)

Hi again, Bert:

On a hunch, I just successfully opened that BGL in Arno's ModelConverterX ("MCX") without having to decompile it. :idea:

You might wish to do the same, then export it as a *.3DS file to be edited and re-textured in GMAX for later export via the FS SDK.


Alternatively you could export it as a *.3DS or *.OBJ file and convert it to a *.DAE with another utility.

The *.DAE could then be edited and re-textured in Sketchup, for later export as a *.DAE back into MCX.

After re-opened in MCX, the "finished" *.DAE could then be exported from MCX in various 'non-legacy' FS9 and FSX formats, and/or put into an FS scenery object library for XML placement with your choice of object placement utility.


ModelConverterX:

Library Creator XML 2.0.2

Hope these options might help make the 3D object re-design / replace / XML-placement process somewhat easier ! :)
