• 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.

Problem With MDL Bgl - Items Colored Red

I am trying to open a BGL (one of many) that I use with Instant Scenery and used to use with EZ-Scenery. They are constructed in FS9 style - Scenery & Texture folders. When I open one of these BGL with Library Creator all of the items are red. If try to compile I get file not found errors.

My objective is to merge some of the several BLGs into logical composite BGLs to provide a more logical library.

Hi Dick,

Did you decompile the library BGL files and then try to add the MDL files to a new library? The red color on items means that it can not find the MDL files at the expected path. Depending on the way the decompiler works, it might help if you turn on the relative path option.

But one big warning (although that was not your question :)). It is a very bad idea to put objects from one library into another one. That will mean that you have the same object with two GUIDs in different libraries. That will only give confusion.

Besides that the purpose of a library is to prevent copying the object around and having it only at one place. So especially if you want to release your library to other you need to be very careful with this.
