• 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.

Run Time Error 53

Hey arno,

I started today your tool, but I'm not successfull.

I created a new libery project.
Then the *.mdl-file was added correctly.
After this I saved the xml - it was o.k.
And after this I tried "compile bgl" and I'v got the run time error '53' - file not found.
Do you know why? And what must I do to compile correctly?


By the way - I made some gmax-mdl's and I want to yous the models as an makro in fssc? How can I do that?
I tried to export the files with the "keep-file" option, but I can't activate this option on makemdl.


regards,

Ralf

Are you sure you have BGLComp installed in the Library Creator XML folder? Otherwise you could try to compile the created XML file manual with BGLComp.

In the new gamepack this option is not available by default. You can best try to install MDLCommander and then you will get the options screen back. But you might not need the source. If you create a library, for example with my tool and then adapt the simple API template (see my FsRegen tutorial for example) to your GUID you should be able to call your object from the library.
 
I kept getting different run-time errors with Arno's tools and then I discovered that the windows automatic updates on my XP machine was installing security patches that evidently over wrote the registry entries for visual basic and .net framework files. Ater reinstalling, everything was fine. Also, after installing xp service pack 2 I had to reinstall windows scripting to clear up some issues. Every thing OK for now. Hopes this helps anybody having run-time errors.
