• 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/Sim Update - no objects visible anymore....

I'm not sure about the mission objects. I only know one place where one can add mission, that is the type of the project itself. Maybe you can show a pic of the inspector and project window.

The problem with unknowns your can fix the way that is mentioned above (place actual output package to community folder and build externally). There was a trip from someone who said that placing the project folder to another place and open project from there also works.

But i didn't try it yet.
 
Hi all betatesters,

Had the same problem. All my objects were "unknown". Have now found the bug - at least for me.
In my package definition xml "scenery" was written like this. Change it to "Scenery" and everything is working like before the update.

XML: 
<AssetGroup Name="edst">
            <Type>BGL</Type>
            <Flags>
                <FSXCompatibility>false</FSXCompatibility>
            </Flags>
            <AssetDir>PackageSources\scene</AssetDir>
            <OutputDir>Scenery\world\Scenery\</OutputDir>
        </AssetGroup>


<AssetGroup Name="mymodellib">
            <Type>ArtProj</Type>
            <Flags>
                <FSXCompatibility>false</FSXCompatibility>
            </Flags>
            <AssetDir>PackageSources\modelLib\</AssetDir>
            <OutputDir>Scenery/global/Scenery\</OutputDir>
        </AssetGroup>

This was coincidental because I got an error message because of an incorrect entry in the xml file.

Hope it helps someone
 
Here is the workflow I use:

1. Create/modify your custom model and export to modelib/model
2. Run fspackagetool.exe and ensure no errors.
3. Move created package to Community folder
4. Open Sim; your project should be visible with all previously placed objects.
5. Open Project. DO NOT BUILD OR REBUILD OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS NEW PACKAGE IN THE COMMUNITY FOLDER AND START AGAIN.
6. Load scenery. Now any new objects should be listed and can be placed.
7. Work on your project, modify in Blender etc.
8. Save scenery and Build package when you are DONE because now you will have to go back to step 3.

Thanks to the other contributors here, I would not have worked this out myself.
 
First time ever last night it worked, doing a test.
Now always "UNKNOWN" even on new projects.
Tried everything, no luck.
I give up, hoping in some help.
