• 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.

MSFS20 Build error MSFS2020

Hi guys!

Got a question for you all. I've always been building liveries out side of the SDK, because when I try to build one with the SDK I'm always getting the same error. It's a bit strange, I can't get my head wrapped around it. When I copy the SDK sample to my project folder before editing it, I can build the package. When I change the name of the company, the package name, etc, I get the message:

'AssetBuilder | Could not find a valid simobject in '...\path...'. Does it have one of [aircraft.cfg / sim.cfg / container.cfg] and does it reference the correct model folder(s)?'

Hence why I used templates to create my liveries, which worked just fine. As I'm trying to convert my liveries to MSF2024 and I'm running in all kind of problems (see: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/msfs-2024-liveries.459378/), I thought to give it another go and try to convert my project package in MSFS2024 as the new SDK discribes ('A legacy aircraft is one that has been created in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and then been opened in the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 The Project Editor to be updated and rebuilt for this version.')

Can anyone tell me where to look or what is causing this problem? I've got an aircraft.cfg in the dicribed directory, just like the SDK sample, and there's no model folder, just like in the SDK sample. I just don't get why the unchanged SDK sample will build, but the edited version doesn't. Even if I only change the information in Devmode in MSFS2020 and not manually in the files, it still gives me the error that files or folder(s) are missing.

BTW, I've tried to build the MSFS2020 SDK sample in MSFS2024 and it works, when changing the data in Devmode, same problem!
