• 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.

OSM .shp file import problems

Hi,
I've just discovered this tool and am having problems I'm afraid. However it obviously has the potential to help me to create my ideal sim environment so I shall persist hopefully with some help.
I downloaded .shp files for Ireland from here but cannot import anything using IMPORTOGR, I get the following;

scenproc1.jpg


It seems that I need co-ordinates which I do not have nor know how to get. I got the impression that this is a new development as the videos didn't seem to show a requirement for such. I searched the forum and the blog and eventually had to admit defeat. Should I be breaking the shapefiles up into manageable chunks? If so will QGIS do so for me? Or can I import the shapefiles directly into ScenProc? I imagine I'm missing something which is obvious to the rest of you but I've never attempted anything but the most basic scenery design before. I apologise for my ineptitude in advance. :o
 
Hi,

Just replace the *;*;*;* by * and it should work.
 
Thanks

Thank you Arno for the advice and especially for making this tool. It's a great thing for the likes of me to have someone like you who can not only make tools like this but releases them freely to the community, you are a true gentleman!
