• 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.

What step am I missing?

I successfully created Autogen using built-in library objects from Arno's example (thank you for this tool Arno). I am using standard OSM shapefile data for the US.

What I am attempting to do
However, I have a custom library of my own trees which works fine when I manually place them. I'm trying to avoid having to go into the classification system (conifer, etc...) to classify all my trees, because I have no idea what tree is what (the guy that made them didn't specify types). I just want to build a few polygons containing like 3+ different trees and then randomize it a bit.

What I have tried with no luck
So I edited the file in fsx\Autogen\Default.xml, and added a class to both regions my scenery crosses (region B and C)... I of course used the existing region nodes and just put my class right below it (didn't overwrite or add anything except my class itself)...


Here are my ScenProc statements (very simple)...
ImportOGR|Test2.shp|*|*|NOREPROJ
SPLITGRID|AGN|*|Test2.shp
CREATEAGNPOLYVEG|FTYPE=POLYGON;type=forest|{1a6eb489-79ec-4a6a-8db4-7c115139ac73}
EXPORTAGN|FSX|D:\___AutogenDev\CompiledAutogen


What happens?
When I run ScenProc, it creates 195 autogen objects, and I copy the autogen into my Texture folder just as I did when it worked with a standard library object. Even though it says it created the objects, they are not appearing in FSX...

Any ideas?

Thank you.... I realize I may have to use the tree XML classification type systems, but I'd rather avoid it.

It appears I am having an issue with the vegetation in the part of the map I'm doing anyhow, so not sure. Going to try another area, and get default veg working again, then try it again...
 
What you describe all sounds fine. I assume the guid you use in the script is the one of your new class?
