• 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.

Update All Models

Hi Arno,

Well - I'm using your fantastic Library Creator all the time now - it's a fantastic little tool... I'm using what I believe is you latest beta and I haven't had any problems with it... Works every time...

One additional feature would be nice - I find myself updating a large number of models in a given library quite often while creating them... You already have the feature to "Replace MDL" which is extremely useful - as it even remembers the last directory the model was obtained from... Would it be possible to add another button called something like "Update All" which "refreshes" all the models in a given library from their original source ? That way any and all updated models will be included in the new library in a single click ?

Just a suggestion - so take it for what it's worth...
:)

Thanks...

Regards,
Scott
 
Hi Scott,

I don't think such a button is needed. If you saved your updated mdl files with the same name and in the same folder, no update action is needed. Just open the XML again, compile to bgl and you will have a new library with the latest models.
 
Hi Arno,

LOL - as usual - you are way ahead of us... Let me give that a try as well...
:)

Good to know :-) When I updated the complete archive I always made a new one and saved it with the same name as the old one.

Cheers,
Mark
 
Hi Mark,

Yeah - I've been using it as Arno described since - it works like a champ and is very quick... Overwrite any "x.mdl" file with your changes - open the Library Creator - select a previously worked library from the drop down that the model is in - hit save - and - you're done... Simply brilliant... I find myself constantly updating models with improvements - and - this makes it so quick and easy...

Regards,
Scott
