• 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.

Error with special character

Arno,

In your newly created function to build the filename from the name tag in SCA libraries is a small error: If the name tag contains the © character, this is not correctly transfered but ends up as a square (something like �).

If an API name contains the © character, it ends up successfully in the model file name.
 
Hi,

Using a copyright symbol in the name of an object is slightly weird of course. It seems to go wrong already when reading the SCA file from disk. Maybe I should make the name editable in the object information form so that it can be corrected.
 
From all I see is that the only problem is that the mdl file has the square character instead of the copyright symbol - the model itself seems to be fine.
 
Yes, it should not affect the loading it all. I guess maybe the wrong character encoding is used or so.
