• 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.

scenProc error - CreateRectangle

I'm trying to generate the autogen tile grid as per section 5.8 of the manual, using script:

CreateRectangle|Kirkwall
#
SplitGrid|AGN|*
PolygonToPoint|*|CENTER|0.0;0.0|0.0;0.0|String;obj|center|hdg
AddAttribute|FTYPE="POINT"|String;name|TILELOD
#
MergeGrid
#
ExportOGR|*|KML|grid.kml|grid

This is the same script as in the manual but with the area changed. I am getting the error "CreateRectangle requires 3 arguments, but the function as described in the manual doesn't show this?

9.2.12 CreateRectangle
Purpose
Create a new rectangle polygon from a given bounding box or geographic name.
Arguments
1. The bounding box of the rectangle (minlon;maxlon;minlat;maxlat) or the name of the geographic
region that the bounding box should be searched for online using OpenStreetMap.
Example
Create a rectangle between N51 E5 and N52 E6:
CreateRectangle|5;6;51;52
Create a rectangle around the island of Texel in the Netherlands:
CreateRectangle|Texel

What am I doing wrong? :S Thanks K

Hi,

Oops, it seems I forgot to update the manual there. The tooltip of the step should show you all details however. The 2nd and 3rd arguments are the type and category of the attribute to add and the value to add.

I have updated the manual as well now, so it will be correct in the next development release.
