• 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.

Library Objects - Decompiling Library File

I have a question regarding decompiling a library .bgl file, specifically for using FSX SDK (SP2). There are objects that I have created and added using Instant Scenery, however now I'd like to use an LOD model for those items, and the guid or ID string for these objects will change once the old items are replaced. These are easily found when decompiled in FS9 format, e.g., the guid string can be found and replaced simply by opening the file in Notepad. With the FSX-decompiled file, however, I can't seem to find any of the objects - there are just coordinates but seemingly without any objects being mentioned. Hope this makes sense. I can add the objects all manually once again but am working with four different sceneries, so this would be a chore to do in that manner. Any help is much appreciated.
 
Hi,

In FSX the GUID is stored in the MDL file, not in the XML file used to compile the library. So you would have to change the MDL file if you want to change the GUID.
 
Thank you Arno, that's exactly what I was looking for. PS - thanks for the link to ModelConverterX, looks like this will come in handy as well.
