• 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.

OK - I cannot replicate this other than by creating a separate xml file using Tools > Export for X. Even then I cannot replicate what you have. So I am at a loss as to what to suggest. Other than deleting any xml files generated for this and trying to compile again

Thanks Jon, I will try it.
In the meantime I could compile the 2 manual splitted parts of the "normal" XML.

The Extended Compile code is very old and I will check it in case there is something conflicting in it

Thanks Jon, I am sure there is something wrong with the generated XML, because the fs9 BGLcomp cannot handle these "Footprints"

No Footprint code is for a very special purpose and won't compile. I think I found the bug. The code was written before the existence of footprints and I don't think it turns them off properly in Extended Compile. I am checking the code.

EDIT

Yes - there was a bug that failed to recognize that footprint code could not be compiled. The reason I could not replicate it is that I don't have the objects for this airport so no footprint existed and the code moved on. When I tested with a stock airport I replicated the error. I have fixed the code and it will be in the next update. Thanks for reporting it.

Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year!
Jon, it's me again.
I installed 1.78, and "Extended Compile" (Afcad Split) works fine now, but does no longer create a "xxxx.TER" bgl. Full compile is okay, so it is no problem:
1. Full compile and
2. Extended Compile :)
