• 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.

When I want to generata a PAPI-2 light I get the following error/compiler output

D:\Flightsimulator\Airfields Light Toolbox\BaseModels\FS9\PAPI-2.mdl" is not a FSX model

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

Marcel
 
Marcel, without knowing what were your Make Library selections, I really can't comment. The file at that location is, in fact, a FS9 file. But why AFLT would "complain" is a mystery.

Please send me your library folder and a screenshot of your Make Library dialog just before the message is issued.

This is what i get when hit make library. With library folder you mean my FSX library?

Marcel, let's back up a bit.

You initially stated you got an error/compiler message. I assumed you meant when you attempted to compile a library using AFLT's Make Library dialog. However, you don't have any models available, so I'm beginning to doubt that assumption.

When I refer to your Library Folder, I am referring to the Library Folder as described in the user manual.

If you believe you are getting an AFLT error, please be specific as to what you entered, where, and what buttons you clicked, in the sequence in which you performed those operations. And, I still need your Library Folder in order to duplicate your problem.

Hi Don,

I installed AFLT as stated in the manual. I selected my scenery work folder as library, that was a option acoording the manual. When I fill in the fields like in the image below and hit the create/safe element button I get the error message.

Marcel

Now I understand the problem and can duplicate it. It will, however, be a day or so before I can fix it.

Don
 
Further to my post of last evening, the message is issued in error - obviously - and can safely be ignored. But the element has been saved correctly and may be used normally.

But, don't bother trying to use the FSX model. It will not work.

I'll generate an update ASAP.

Don
 
Hi Don,

Thanks for the help, I will await the update then and until that time use the default PAPI lights wiht no housing.
