• 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.

Whisplacer - Generic objects do not work

Hello all,

I have just started to use a wonderful tool called Whisplacer and everything seems to work OK but...

...the generic objects. After placing them into the scenery and compiling them I cannot see them in FSX.

When I place the generic object in Whisplacer, I can see that there is a cross within the object - something a don't see on other (non-generic) objects.

I suspect I am missing something really simple...

Does anybody know where the problem might be?

Thank you.

Milan
 
If youare looking in FSX set the image complexity to EXTREMELY DENSE and see if they show up at that setting
 
And be sure the BGL is in an active scenery folder as well.
 
Thank you for your thoughts, guys. The bgl is in the right folder and added as FSX scenery + the scenery setting is to extremely dense.

and the problem remains :(

I still suspect there is a problem with the paths Whisplacer works with. All the standard objects appear on the Whisplacer working screen in blue and some sort of description but the generic objects are in red/purple with a cross over. See the screen.

my.php


Doesn't it mean Whisplacer have some problem finding/generating the generic object?

thx for your ideas

Milan
 
maybe a way how to find out...

Can somebody send me a little scenery file (bgl) with one standard and one generic object placed by Whisplacer that works for him/her?

I'll try it myself in FSX and open it in Whisplacer to see the details.

thank you

Ive found its a problem with how Whisplacer tries to overwrite old files.

Simply open your bgl again and save it as a different name (you may need to move or delete the older files so that you are only seeing the latest one). Each time you make a change, save it as a different name and then manual compile it.

A bit annoying but the benefits of that piece of software far outweigh the drawbacks :)
Regards
 
manual compile - that was it

I need to save and then make manual compile to see the generic buildings in FSX

thanks a lot for the help!
