• 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.

FS2004 changing TERRAIN_MAX_VECTOR_LEVEL by bgl?

as a scenery collector I got often different values for TMVL in the install orders.

Is there a way to change this value dynamically by a scenery (bgl)?

regards
 
To be honest, I really have no clue about this topic, however I think that it is not possible since the TERRAIN_MAX_VECTOR_LEVEL is set in the FS9.cfg and the BGL normally has no write right (I think it can't even access it) to the FS9.cfg. So personally for me this is not possible. But if it would be possible, what do you get more from changing it in the BGL? If the user sets it in the FS9.cfg to 19 for example and your BGL is 21, then it will be set back to 19 because the FS9.cfg is more powerful than a BGL no?
 
BGL files are data containers. The files are read by FS9 and the data processed. Since they only hold data and not executable code how would they go about changing your TMVL setting?

So to put it into simple terms, No!
 
thanks,

to clarify my question:

lets assume we have 2 sceneries A and B.
The docs of A says TMVL only 19!, B needs 21.

when I fly from A to B I wished to change TMVL by a bgl(?)

Otherwise I have to pause fs, save the situation, shutdown fs,
change fs9.cfg, startup fs, load situation, unpause fs.

(not fine for all aircrafts, panels etc.)

If I had 3 different bgls (changing TMVL to 19, 20, 21), I could place the needed bgl in the scenery folder.

but if it is not possible ......

(there are so many variables which can be set by FSUIPC, perhaps a gauge is a better way than a bgl?)

regards
 
Hi,

Scenery bgl files can not change the general FS configuration and I think also gauges can not. It's just not possible and I think it is also not desirable. It is the user who determines his configuration, based on his wishes or hardware. Not the add on developer.

I would just put it at the highest recommended value for all sceneries.
