• 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.

FSX Object Placement Tool problem.......

Hi,
Can anyone please help with the following problem?
I have created some additional scenery with FSX Object placement tool while viewing an add on airport created by ADE9x.
The scenery appeared on screen and was positioned correctly with the mouse.
The whole thing was then saved as a XML file by the “save scenery” option.
The resulting .XML fie was then compiled into a .BGL scenery file.
I placed the scenery BGL file in the Scenery folder of my add on airport and reloaded it with “add area “option in scenery library to replace the original
When run the original airport appears minus the new scenery.
How should the new file be loaded or can it placed in a folder or folders manually.
Cheers,
DGB
 
You can manually add BGL files to any active scenery folder and they will show up in FS after a scenery reload (clicking OK in the Scenery Library in FSX, restart in FS9). No need to remove/add a scenery layer to trigger that.
 
Object placement tool issue solved..........

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the info.
I solved the problem by re-compiling the airport in ADEx9 with the .blg fie in "Scenery" folder and placing copy of the same .blg in "World scenery" folder in the FSX main folder.
After a long time trying to install all the sections of the "Tools" menue for in game use I am glad to have finally made it work.
Merry Christmas,
Cheers
DGB

There is no need to have it twice. Just look for your ADE-settings to which folder ADE will compile. As Tom already said, you may want to choose the correct place yourself (this might be the folder "Addon Scenery/Scenery") and ADE will remember this for the next time. The only exception is when you are changing an airport elevation as then the related file (and only this one) will be compiled into the World/Scenery folder the rest as described before.
