• 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.

Hi everybody,

I used FSXKML to "draw" several hundred of islands in my Halong Bay scenery from Google Earth. FSXKML genrate BGL file with no problem since... today! It stops in SHP compilation.

I read in "closed" thread that there is "preFSX a small program..." that can manage compatibility between FSXKML and KML files.

Where I can download this program?

Thanks.

Thank a lot Tejal Bernardo!

I installed PREFSXKML, "cleaned" my KML files and I can now run FSXKML!

I have to delete all plane islands over where I putted 3D islands, like in Halong Bay (crazy project but so beautiful site). In FSX I go over the island and with FSXGET I see her over the polygon in GoogleEarth. Just have to delete it so the roch tower is... a rock tower... like in the bay.

Great. I would like to make something similar with some rock for the scenery
I have made my own ships, I have to learn too much yet. It's not the Amundsen :D

Your ship look very nice!

For the rocks it is very simple : tube, 8-10 points, 5-8 sections, smoothed and textured!

In Halong Bay the problem is the number of islands. Not for the work to do but for the less performant computer because they can lag. So I put scenery complexity NORMAL for a half of my 3D islands and DENSE for the other half.
