• 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.

Tower bgl files?

Hi Jon!
Before the last two updates, I had access through the library of a few different tower variations that I could select. Now I have installed all the bgl files and thumbs I could find and I have thumbs for all the generic FSX library scenery items but I no longer can find in library or buildings the tower choices I had in a previous upgrade. How can I get those back?
 
By update what do you mean? The latest update to ADE 1.65 fixed a couple of bugs. None had anything to do with library objects. If you are talking about going from 1.61 to 1.65 then you need to import your 1.61 settings into 1.65

Which is it?
 
Thanks, Jon!

Sorry, I meant to qualify. It is my upgrade from a 1.61 version to the 1.65. I still have my complete folder containing v1.61 for FSX and I have imported my buildings, thumbs, and reinstalled the giant thumb files so I thought I had everything. I thought that the tower choices were part of the airport object data within the Library menu. I am not able to activate v1.61 again to check. I don't want to import anything that would compromise the working or interfere with the new formats employed by v1.65 so I would like your advice on this. What settings within my v1.61/FSX directory should I import?

Click to expand...
Just open some default airports. Click on the featured TWR,
- say 'Edit Object'
- copy the GUID
- open LOM
- paste the GUID into 'Find GUID'
- give it a name as 'tower big 01'
- click save

For me they were all gone in an earlier version already, just as the ILS glideslope antenna, localizer antenna etc.
 
Thanks HF!
I did not want to use the wizard suggested by Jon because I had already imported some things manually and had made changes to many AFCADs already. I did not want to corrupt anything. I used your method and Voila! It worked perfectly. Thank you and Happy New Year!
