• 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.

FSX Can I Remove placement info from objects

Hello Guys

I am wondering if I am able to remove placement information from objects imported from an airport BGL file?
I have two embedded BGL's for the same airport and wish to use models from each in my edition. This is purely for personal use only and not for redistribution.
I can import the objects and save them to a BGL but they are then placed as duplicates if I edit my project using ADEx.

I hope that makes sense 🤪
Cheers

Hi,

In the placement editor in MCX you can add or remove placements. So if you removed them there they are not exported afterwards.
 
Thanks for the reply Arno. I guessed it would be something simple.
I have gone through and removed all the placement information from the objects within the file, however when I then go to export the file MCX begins to export all the objects but I do not get a BGL file afterwards so I guess I am not completing something correctly. I have attached the event log if you could take a look.

Cheers

Arno I have just noticed the two BGLScan error messages at the end of the Event Log. I have just added the 1.50 version and this has occurred. I have discovered that I am unable to export Scenery no matter what. Perhaps I have failed to setup the new version correctly??

Arno, a bit more investigation. I reinstated the previous version of my MCX and have been able to achieve what I wanted, so I'm not sure where the error is occurring from. I have attached the "about" info for both of my MCX installs. I am using the one on the right!

Cheers
Andrew

I think you don't have the bglcomp path set correctly in the options. It's probably pointed to bglscan instead of bglcomp.
