• 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.

Creating a library of scenery objects?

Hi,
I want to create a library of objects so I can place them with the Object Placement Tool, but am unsure of what exactly I shoudl do.

If I create a library XML file, like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData
version="9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >

<ModelData
sourceFile="B1.MDL" />
<ModelData
sourceFile="B2.MDL" />
<ModelData
sourceFile="B3.MDL" />

</FSData>

This compiles to create the library. But since I don't want to compile each of the B*.mdl files to predetermined lat-long locations, no .bgl exists for them.

So, the Object Placement Tool has no compiled model to place when editing...

How do you get around this?

Thanks,

Si

PS. I looked for a sub-forum for this in the Scenery forum section but couldn't see anywhere appropriate.
 
Nevermind... I used Arno's LibraryCreatorXML and it worked. (Though I can't see how it's really doing anything different to what I was manually.)

Hi,

The XML code you posted looks fine. It should compile into a library BGL that works with the Object Placement tool.

But using Library Creator XML is also an easy way to make a library of course. Saves you from having to write the XML yourself :).
