• 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 all, need a little help here....

I am having trouble building a scenery package. I have already done 4 sceneries and I am using exactly the same method.

Here is the output from the console...
"

"

I guess the part that is cauing the trouble is the line starting "gITFLister"

Also in red is the lines stating that the package name is incorrect, wht's up with that?

I have made numerous attempts but the scenery wont build.

Can anyone help please?

cheers

Ok, seems that it was somethIng to do with LODS. I exported without LODS and it woks fine so I need to do some more investigation to see what I am doing wrong.

I have the same problem but I don't even use LODS at the moment

It seems a few people are having issues with batch exporting LODS from Blender and are having to build the LODS manually but exporting each LOD separately and then altering the .xml afterwards.

Did you use the project builder download from this site?, that is useful. Where i normally trip up is forgetting to select all objects before exporting from blender or forgetting to update the xml that the exporter produces to version 1.1.

Another thing that has tripped me up is not ensuring that my textures are in the right size format.

Good luck

I heard the lods export has been problematic. As to the naming convention for packages, yeah it seem they want something like airport-ksfo-scenery-free or some such, however a package named ksfo still works fine.
 
Did you guys figure this out? I'm having the same problem and not using any LODs. Here's more info:

Hi, A friend of mine is working on an airport and his project was working fine. He was occasionally copying the whole project into the backup folder and looks like somehow the original project and the backup project were mixed. (Just an assumption). Anyway, his BGL and art project paths are...

OK.. I just fixed mine. In my case, the stupid thumbnail was missing. I just created a thumbnail and the build started working with no errors.

I just want to confirm this for the sake of Google search results and other members. My Failed to spawn lister for asset group were related to not having a ContentInfo\Thumbnail.jpg in my package.

As far as I know this were created by default with the project previously but I guess that's not the case anymore.
