• 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've noticed that KML is rather similar to XML, been reading up on Google Code on the KML structure, as I like the new Google Earth, yet as we all know FSX KML isn't possibly going to evolve further unless Matthew decides to return. However we have a lot of incredible minds and talents and feel we should look at developing a similar program yet with more features

basically is FSX-KML just basically a utility to convert from KML to XML and obviously then through FW tools and the SDK produce the end result?
 
There are some utilities to convert KML to SHP files. SHP files can be imported to SBuilderX.

Alternately, you could use RingPiece to place KML info into SBuilder or SBuilderX:

RingPiece_1_0_0_5.zip

Ring Piece may have problems with the newest version of Google Earth.
