• 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.

Hi.I tried using the above programs to place a bus i designed in gmax at numerous locations around an airport.The follwing is what i done wothout success.

I created the bus model in gmax and generated the .mdl and xml file.

I used library creator to compile a bgl and placed this in my scenery folder.i also used library creator to create a file to be used in sbuilder to place the bus.

I then opened up sbuilder and opened the above file generated in
library creator and successfully placed and compiled a bgl which i again placed in the scenery folder.

i went to the exact location in fs2004 but no objects appeared

Please help.

regards

Terry
 
Hi,

For your object library part you should take the MDL from GMax and put it into the library BGL as you described (Library Creator XML will make the XML and BGL file for you). After that you should be able to call the objects from other places.

I am not familiar enough with placing objects in SBuilder to say if you have done something wrong there. But I assume you meant the TXT file for SBuilder when you talk about creating a file for SBuilder?
 
Thanks for the reply arno.Thats what i done and in sbuilder it recongises my objects and i place them and then fly to the location in fs2004 but cannot see them.il try it again this weekend.I have addon scenery turned up the top in fs so i dont know wht they dont show.

Hi,

If you place the library and the BGL file SBuilder made in the scenery folder of your project then it should work fine. If the object library BGL can not be find for some reason the objects will not sow of course.
