• 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.

Can you give me an example of what the comments look like and where they are?

I am having a tough time placing the Clawson Saratoga carrier off the coast of Athens, Greece. It will not compile. I also do not have the fs9 sdk installed, and do not know if that is needed. I have a folder with bgl.com, this version:

BGLXML 1.8, by Alessandro G. Antonini (C)2004
this is an utility which disassembles BGL files
into new FS2004 format and produces an XML
file to be compiled with Microsoft BGLCOMP
(from FS2004 SDK). Besides disassembling
all BGL records, it is also able to extract
.MDL files from ModelData sections.
This utility is freeware and open-source,
licensed under GNU-GPL to help developers
understand the new FS2004 BGL structures
(contributors are welcome) - please read
inside documentation for important infos.
Also includes XMLSHELL, a GUI program for
controlling bglxml from Windows Explorer.

Is that the version needed?

The late David Marshall had helped me and I had placed the same carrier in 5 locations. But I lost his help files in a crash.

Any help will be appreciated.

I looked for a word called 'placement' and for one called 'comments' in the xml file--found nothing. Is comments the " " quotes?
 
As I said on another forum, if you already have an XML file you need a compiler - use BGLComp, from the SDKs.
