• 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 individual GUIDs for FS9 objects?

Arno,

I just came across the question how FS9 and LibraryCreator handles GUIDs. It's quite some time that I worked with FS9 last time, so I wasn't aware that the GUID isn't created before building the Library at all.

Am I correct that I can choose my own GUID and assign it in Librarycreator and that GUID will be assigned to the MDL?

That saves me a lot of work, because everytime I exported a new version of my model from GMax and replaced the old model in library creator I had the problem of pressing the wrong button and getting a new GUID. :o
 
Hi Thorsten,

When you add a new MDL, Library Creator will by default assign a new (random) GUID to it. If you change an object in GMax there is no need to add it again. Just overwrite the MDL and recompile the library BGL. In that case you don't have to change the XML, just recompile the BGL.

But if you want you can also edit the GUID of an object afterwards (I think, just start to wonder if that version 1 feature made it into version 2 :D).
 
Thanks, that is what I found out by now. Good thing you can easily edit the XML to change the GUID. I cannot see an option in LibCreator2 to do this.

Once again I'm simply glad for your tools. It's some time since I told you last, but I use the library creator literaly every day - and lately also the "old" FS9 tools. :)
