• 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 have added a new step to scenProc that provide more exporting possiblities. Besides the FS specific BGL and AGN export, before you could only export to images and Shapefiles. I have now added a new step that also allows to export to other GIS vector formats.

For loading vector data scenProc uses the OGR library for a while already, I have now added an ExportOGR step that can also write using this powerful library. This means you can not only write to Shapefile now, but also to other formats like GML or KML (and many more).

Please check the manual (which was also updated) for the specifics of this new step. Since the OGR library needs a little more information there are more attributes to specify than in the old ExportSHP step.

Let me know if there are any issues with this new step. In a while I plan to make the old ExportSHP step deprecated and then this step will be the main way to export vector data. But until it has been tested more, I’ll keep both for a while.

Excellent news Arno.

Between you and Vogels' tool, it's a match made in heaven.

I am currently compiling my version 2.0 of my entire Country (New Zealand).

You can see updated screenshots of my 6 month long adventure with your tool.
