• 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.

FS2004 Using ModelConverterX_120...

Yes that's the one I followed.....anyhow, I' redownloaded it & bingo....I now have 40 more WW2 objects for my airfields......
Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it.
Cheers,
Terry.
 
Glad to hear you got it working now :)
 
Hi there. Yes - 68 objects altogether, with a bulk fuel installation without a texure bpm file, otherwise I'm very happy...thanks again for your help.

Hi Genlemen
joining this discussion I'm asking you the correct way to obtain the uniquecode of 32 digits needed to create bgl scenery. In other words, I just obtained an MDL from API using ModelConverterX_120, and now I want to put in some scenery using sintax TXT file to be compiled, as follows:

<!-- Phantom static aircraft -->
<SceneryObject
lat="N41 38.7300"
lon="E12 27.7600"
alt="0.0000M"
altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"
pitch="0.00"
bank="0.00"
heading="0.00"
imageComplexity="NORMAL">
<LibraryObject
name="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
scale="1.00"/>
</SceneryObject>
<ModelData
name="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
sourceFile="F4Phantom.mdl"
fileOffset="0"/>

:confused::confused::confused:Which one is the right procedure to generate that code?
thanks in advance for an appreciated answer

Use Library Creator XML to create a library XML file, add your Phantom MDL file, and it will assign the GUID's and display them. Place those in the Name spots. You don't need to save the XML file from Library Creator.

Hope this helps,
 
Hi,

You are working for FS2004, so in that case you need to define the GUID yourself when you include the object in the XML. This number is not stored in the MDL file for FS2004.

As Tom suggested you better use Library Creator XML, it will assign a new GUID for you. You can then copy that to your placement XML.

And you'd better save the library XML file as well, because then you can add more objects to the library later on. If you don't save the XML, the assigned GUIDs are lost and next time the object will get a new GUID.
 
Arno,

I'm confused. The XML he posted has both ModelData and LibraryObject code it it already - what does he need a library for? I thought this made it a unique geo-locked object? Wouldn't any other Phantom object he places in a similar way have a different GUID?

Thanks,
 
Hi,

Yes, his code has both placement and library objects. Do you mean that you just use Library Creator XML to generate a new GUID for you? Maybe I missed that point. In that case I would just make a library BGL as well with it :).
 
Yes, I was just using it as an FS2004 GUID generator. Quick and easy. :)

If you create a library with it, then you should remove the ModelData section out of your placement BGL code above (no need for it in that case, just duplication).

Hope this helps,
