• 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.

filename trailing characters

i noticed the trailing characters scenProc adds to the end of file names _0_p or _0
though i understand why its needed in many situations
is there a way to tell scenProc not to expect a split files and just use the given name?
 
Hi,

Those trailing characters in the shapefile names are for two reasons.

The _# is to indicate the number of the gridcell, when there is only one cell this is always a zero. I guess I could drop this number when there is only one cell.

The other suffix is to indicate the type of features, since different feature types can't be mixed in one shapefile. The possible values are:

_p points
_l lines
_a areals (polygons)
_r raster images
 
Thank you Arno; i noticed most of the acronyms you mentioned
its not critical or causes any issue other then comfort, i usually fix with bulk renamer step; for standalone files
i thought it would be nice if we could ask scenProc to skip it for some cases
 
I guess I can skip them when only one file is written. I've put it on the wishlist.
 
Hi,

I had a look at changing this, but it's not so easy. So I won't fix it now, but when adding support to export with OGR I'll check this.
 
Thank you for the heads up Arno, much appreciated,
this a is non critical requests; if it brings too much headache its not worth it;
the workaround i currently use is simple; i use mass file renamer
