• 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.

I'm completely desperate

Hi all, as the title says i'm completely desperate now! I learned since march how to model in blender. Texturing in Substance Painter. Learned how to ground poly etc. Everything works and looks absolutely good. So far, so good.
I also learned how to use the SDK and everything worked pretty well.

But: Since the update v15 of the SDK, nothing works anymore! I created a new project, setting up my bgl and artpro. It's all good, but i can not save anything anymore! when i click on "save as" it opens up the "create a new project" menu. When i click on save scenery it simply does not save it. It all worked before. Then, my projected mesh works till i delete painted elements, apron and runway! It disappears. When i uncheck one of those three, it appears but, for example, with the basic runway and my PM is underneath.

Things i have tried so far: Delete the SDK and made a fresh install. Did not work. Delete the SDK and tried an older version. Did not work. Tried to work like what the SDK Doc said. Did not work.

What is wrong, what do i wrong? It seems that it is completely broken! And yes, it p..... me of and i'm deperate because i worked so many hours an this airport and i don't want to give it up, but yeah...

Can anyone help me? What info do you need?
 
Some stuff to check: Artproject Is deprecated, you must use ModelLib

When you click save as, every other software thinks you want to save at another location with another name, Just Press save, It Is enable only if there are changes in the project

The same way for save scenery, you can save only if there are changes your scenery (placement)

Last, if you don't mind sharing your sources, One can go through them seeking for errors

I have tried my best to follow your tips, but nothing seems to work anymore. There is a link for a video i made to show what i am doing when i start a new project. And in the screenshot you can see how my model looks like now. It's so strange!
What is happening here. Everything worked fine and looked good before the update.

Hi Markus, can you please put your project in a folder structure without blanks (spaces), and avoid special characters (that umlaut can harm .xml files)
(Maybe MFS2020-Projecte?)
Also, in the package title avoid spaces
(At 1.45 in your video the console Is moaning about some problem about the project main .xml, makes me think this Is the reason you are unable to save)

Another thing i would avoid (Just for troubleshooting) Is changing the folder source names
Try to use the default ones, save the project and check in your Windows Explorer that the Project and source folders get generated

You don't Need to clean anything we you Press clean all, because your "_packageInt" and "Packages" should not exist, becausa you are working with a brand new project

Later, i would add a simple object, save scenery and double check in Windows Explorer that your .xml gets generated

Than It the turn to Copy your Custom models in the modelLib (don't use that name, use a custom One) and finally the build all command

Step by step!

So, again, i followed your advise step by step. Nothing. It seems like that in the background anywhere is something older stored what the sdk wants to read but can`t. I installed it clean a few times but that did also not work. I'm really lost right now and don`t want to reinstall the whole sim. I named the folders like you said and have made it in the original myfdprojects folder. when i create it, it generates this _packageint folder.

Update: I uninstalled the SDK and still can access it. Is this normal?

Edit:
@mamu I have managed to save the project, but not in the project manager. I saved the scenery file in the asset folder path and that worked. But the main .xml in the main project folder still gets not updated. It confuses me.
And the Projected Mesh still disappears when i have checked the delete command for apron, runway and painted elements in the airport properties. If i uncheck one of those three it appears but also with the unchecked command ex.: Runway etc

Update:
I solved my problems for now!
My scenery is now saved when i click the save scenery button. The folder where i saved the scenery file and the shape file is "PackageSources\scene\"

The disappearence of my Projected Mesh is also solved. I have checked the airport delete commands as usual and, i would have done it anyway but not at that time, placed the runway object. My PM appeared.

Thank you all for the tips so far.
