• 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.

Hi Arno,
the Library Creator XML works lile a charm, thanks a lot.
A helpful addition would be to have the possibility to insert a comment line for object specific data.
An example: currently I create a ship library where I use a couple of FS9 ships with helipad. Unfortunately those helipads don't work in FSX so I manually have to add a "hardened surface" object with those ships. It would be convenient if I had the ship helipad data (size, altitude, relative position) stored in the Library Converter file for quick reference (like it's already done with the GUID).

BTW: is there a tool to convert aircraft mdl to scenery mdl? In old FS2002 days there was MDLtoBGL but I assume with FSX it doesn't work anymore...

Regards,

Volker
 
Hi Volker,

In FsX there is no difference between aircraft and scenery MDL files anymore. So I don't think a conversion would be needed.

About the suggestion. I'll take a look at that. The only problem with comment lines might be that it can be hard to figure out to which XML ModelData tag they belong, but I guess I could just assume the comment before the tag should be shown with that one.
