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.

Hi Ed:
Sean Isom has been working on a BGL Decompressor utility for some time now:
www.fsdeveloper.com
IIUC, Sean intends to access both MSFS and pre-MSFS imagery BGLs via that utility.
Otherwise, it may be easier to find which imagery was used as source for the BGL, then access that imagery via SBuilderX, SASPlanet, or FSEarthTiles to make one's own custom photo-real imagery land class BGL that blends into the underlying imagery / land class.

BGLDEC - A resample BGL (and CGL) DECompressor
BGLDEC - A BGL DECompressor for resampled BGL files This now also includes CGLDEC for MSFS! BGLDEC is a utility that decompresses BGL files that are output from resample.exe. A BGL file is decompressed into multiple binary or bitmap files that contain the raw data as it used by the simulator...
