• 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.

Effects position update failure

Howdy Arno,

Firstly, I thoroughly enjoy your great tool - MCX. Thanks for all your time invested into the project!

Second, I want to report the bug. Here's the situation:

While creating a taxiway light I attach the effect to the already compiled BGL to make the blue light show. Now if I fail to set the right position (height) of the effect versus the lamp I cannot update it once I save the BGL with the effect from MCX (as FSX BGL) and then reload the BGL into MCX to edit the effect position.

It's a small bug but would be nice to fix it.

Thanks for attention.

Mike
 
Hi Mike,

Let's see if I understand what you are saying. After placing an effect you can not edit the position anymore once you saved it to BGL?

Let me see if I can reproduce that.
 
Arno, I think the problem is with saving the BGL files overwriting the original files.

I have just tried save the BGL file with updated properties (deleted one of the effects into it) using the same file name. Once I opened the file in MCX I realized that my changes were not saved.

However, when I saved the updated BGL file under a new name - everything worked just fine.

BTW I didn't have the FSX running while doing the changes. If it were running, chances are it would have locked the BGL files.

Hi Mike,

Let me check with that condition. I don't export to BGL that often, usually I use MDL.
