Image on scene

[Capdis84]

Hello to all
is it possible to convert a GIF or JPEG image to BGL in order to include it in a msfs2020 scene?
I join the concerned image

Thanks in advance

Not directly
It really depends where you want to use it and how
On a sign/building? You need to use a 3d software, create the 3d objects where you will import it as a texture, inset the object in a model Library, compile and place the object in a the world with the scenery editor

On the ground? You can create a material with that image an use it for an apron or a Polygon

Thank you for your feedback
I would like to put it on the floor like on the attached screen.

With which tool should I create this object?

Splendid! Ground polygon

I have a tutorial about that

(That's a way of doing that, another way requires using a projected mesh -so using a 3d software like Blender or 3ds max)

Thank you verry much

Hello
I tried to follow your tutorial but I don't understand English. Could I ask you to create my image so that I can incorporate it in my scene? I would be very grateful.
Thank you

IIUC, the above cited Civil Defense logo image is in the Public Domain:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_defense#/media/File:CivilDefence.svg

It may be downloaded and used for your project as a *.PNG via the Wikipedia link below:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.../CivilDefence.svg/2048px-CivilDefence.svg.png


You may also wish to merge the logo image into the local BING aerial source image tile(s) via this work-flow for a 'draped' ground texture *.CGL file:

https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Samples_And_Tutorials/Samples/Sceneries/SimpleAerial.htm


That may update the older BING imagery otherwise used by default at run time in MSFS as seen here:

NOTE: Google Earth Desktop Edition Historical Imagery mode already has that logo on the ground in its pre-release satellite imagery.

You may wish (for personal use only) to utilize the Google Earth imagery as shown in this tutorial video by Flying Theston:
