• 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.

Hello
Concerning a scenery project over Madagascar, I want to create small bush villages. So far, I used EZ-landclass; it creates easily an inhabitated area, about 1 km, rectangular, not very precise, but it works and shows a "village" in FS9.
Presently, I want something more precise, and I think to use annotator.
Unhappily, I have no aerial bmp, and agnlocator or LWMViewer asks to open a "-15digits-su.bmp" file. I think this 15 digits code is a unique geographic locator?
I tested with a copy of such an existing file (in Corsica island), with similar landscape, renamed as asked. I annotated it with some buildings, trees, ... and created agn, then installed the bmp and agn in the texture folder of a formerly declared scenery in Madagascar. Nothing appears! Can this method work (or with a any world texture bmp, renamed as "-15digits-su.bmp"? Where the 2 files must be copied? I want this autogen act only in the good area.

Thanks for help; Pierrot - FMEP

Hi Pierrot,

Those 15 character names are indeed specific for the geo location they are used at. But only a texture and a AGN file is not enough to let them show, you also need to have a BGL file that tells FS to use this texture. If you are already changing the landclass you can probably best assign it there. If you use a value of 253 for the landclass type this geo specific image will be shown.
