• 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.

Is there a simple way to combine two SBX projects into one?

Due to the compexity of the islands, I have three QMid11 rectangles in one project and one QMid11 rectangle in another. FSX works fine with both CVX files but I would rather only have one.
 
I think you can export one project as an SBX file, then import the SBX file to the other Project, and that would combine them. ( Back up everything first ).

Also, I don't think there is any way to selectively export to SBX, so first delete anything you don't want exported, then export to SBX format. You can also do some editing on the resulting file (if required) as it is a text file, before appending it into your combined project.

Unfortunately, when importing an SBX file, it deletes previous entries :(

I've looked at the SBX file and I don't understand the entries:

NoOfChilds=-1

Does this mean it is a child (or hole)?

If so, I guess I could write a program to read the SBX files and create a composite SBX.

You would append the SBX file, rather than import it. Then it should combine.

Thanks Dick.

But there was another quirk. I couldn't append an SBX to a new project, I needed to load an existing project then append the other SBX.

All is now well.
