• 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.

FS2004 Library Creator pooping on me...

Hello Arno,

I'm compiling libraries along, several times tonight then all on a sudden I'm getting a warning message, "Please specify the location of BGLComp in the options".

I'm thinking, "ok, fine, the setting got lost, no problemos". I go check the settings and it's not lost, it's right there. I check the LC configuration file and I can see:
<bglCompPath4>E:\Bglcomp BGL Compiler\bglcomp.exe</bglCompPath4>

I tried re-installing the application.
I tried deleting the configuration file.
I also tried rebooting my PC...didn't help.

I hope you find a solution, meanwhile I'm stuck, can't compile libraries.

Thanks,

Hi,

Could it be you are having both FS2004 and FSX libraries? Both require a different version of BGLComp.

Can you double check Library Creator XML shows FS2004 at the bottom as version?

At the bottom of the GUI. It shows which FS version it is using.

Arno, the problem is fixed. It has nothing to do with the message displayed though.

I had in that library a reference to a test MDL I had deleted, hidden all the way down the list, of course :D

Hi,

Glad you solved it. I still find it weird that one MDL causes the library to go to a kind of unknown state (because it seems the tool didn't know anymore it was a FS2004 library you were working on.

Arno, my best guess would be an error trapping that fell to a crack (or is missing) so it bounced back to the previous one.
