• 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.

IMPORTAGN step

Hello,

I think I need some help with the IMPORTAGN step.

I have some existing autogen - basically only vegetation.

I use the IMPORTAGN step to load it and add more autogen - more vegetation, buildings, and agn library objects.

But it seems that not all additional / new autogen is created. I can see that it is mainly the new vegetation that does not appear.

Cannot it be because there is already some vegetation imported by the IMPORTAGN step? Can this step actually use the existing one, create a new one, and add it to the existing one? Or the existing autogen does not allow the same type of autogen (vegetation in my case) being created and added?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Milan
 
Hi,

What you want to do should work. If you import the AGN files the autogen objects are loaded into memory. Any additional autogen you create is also added in memory and when you export the autogen everything is written to disk again.

There is no logic to check what kind of autogen is in the existing files.

Maybe some features are prevented by others? For example polygonal vegetation can depress the building autogen. Are both vegetational of the same type?
 
Hi Arno,

From the manual I understood it should work as you say. Let me experiment first with one agn tile. I will report the results here.

Hi,

Just to close on this one... finally I decided to use my source to generate agn vegetation instead of merging the existing one.

So no experimenting and no news on this front in the end.

OK, no problem.

I did also see you reported a bug a few days ago (with the SUBTRACTFEATURE step). Did you solve that one already?
 
I ran into the error during batch processing. So I just amended the conf file for this particulat process (skipped the step causing the error) and went on.

No problem.

I had another (though unreported) error when getting heading from the nearest line for xmlagn placement. Do you want me to report it the next time?

Milan
 
OK, I'll close the bug report then.

Bug reports mainly help me if I can reproduce them here, then I can make the tool more stable. So feel free to report any crash. Although for scenProc it's often hard to reproduce it, since I don't have the geo data being used.
