• 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 folks
After working on fixing water elevation in my area (Northern Ontario) I switch to a new project. Fixing east and west coast line of mexico including Panama Canal.
Got to Panama, and found that FSX has locks on Panama canal, but they are in the wrong location
Under FSX/Scenery/Global/Texture, I found the texture of the Panama canal locks. Now I have no idea if its possible to relocate and maybe resize these as they do not match location and size shown on Google earth or Google Street map which I am using for my background in SBuilderX.

BTW, I have yet not been able to locate a downloadable copy of G Max. But I have not yet checks my hard drives in my older computer.

Hi there
I have been doing a bit more research and this is what I am thinking.
Since the Panama canal is in Sector 2628, the placement file for the locks would probably be found in the BRX26280.bgl, which is apparently the file for extrusion bridges.
That being said, I need to decompile the .bgl to an .xml format
I found a couple of version for the "BGL2XML" decompiler, but neither one of them works for me.
Am I on the right track? Do I need to go to AVSim to get a working copy of the BGL2XML?

Michel
 
Sorry guys
Found out that I need to "run as administrator" for it to work

Got it to work but my locks are not in that BRX File,

Guess I need to decomple a few more file to find it

Michel
 
Finally got it
They are located in the OBX26280.bgl scenery file under folder 303\scenery
Had to locate which item using their coordinate as they are not described as locks but as objects
