• 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.

MSFS20 SDK Reference Scenery Design

This is how I do it, I don't know if there are other ways...

When you open the project again in the project editor, you'll see the name of your project in blue in the project window
click the the project name to expand what's inside it
Under that will be your saved scenery, and maybe Marketplace data... Select the scenery file and it will show up in the inspector.
In there is a button Load asset, select this, and it should load your scenery into the editor.

Oh, I missed your second question... p.s., always remember to select the "Save Scenery" button... often... especially these days... though I seem to be getting less crashes the last couple days for some reason...

When you want to create your bgl, select the top level blue name of your project, and you'll see your content info and the project in the instpector window. At the bottom of the inspector window, select "Build Project"

It'll populate the project folder in your Packages directory with all the files it needs, including your BGL file and other necessary files to complete the package.

You'll need to place this package directory in your Community folder

Oh right thanks :)
 
Hi, to export the project to the community do I have to export it from the SDK since I don't see the json files?

You need to build the project with the fspackagetool or from Dev Mode in the sim. This will produce a Community-ready folder that includes your compiled game assets along with the needed json files. The Community-ready folder is typically located in the Package folder of your project. If you are not getting a Community-ready folder, check the Console window to see why the build is failing.

I did it the same way but all content created changes within the sdk is not taken over.

I started to edit a default airport in ADE, then needed to add some things with the sdk in MSFS. Saved it, built it and put the newly created folder in my community folder. It does not have the in SDK created changes, only the same data I had before I started editing my ADE created airport :(
