• 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.

Years ago (literally) I converted the P3D AutogenDescriptions.spb file to an xml for some editing/tests file but I cannot remember I did that. I thought I found it in the P3D SDK but so far no luck? I am still searching but if someone knows would much appreciate! :)

Nevermind, I think I found it under the SimPropCompiler of the SDK so I will study. But this raises a new question. In the default P3Dv3 and P3Dv4 was there a default AutogensDesriptions.spb or just an .xml version? Sad to say I did not make note of this.
 
Hi,

There is a spb2xml tool that can do this, not sure where I found it.

The compiler from the SDK is to go from xml to spb again.

FS can read both, SPB seems slightly better for performance.
