• 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 glitch

This is for FSX. Forgot to add that in the Subject entry.

I'm using Whisplacer to place weather turbulence in various locations to
add a "rough ride" for aircraft transiting the areas of FLAK in a package
that I will be making available soon.

The process is going along fairly well but there is one thing that is
slowing me down a bit. It is the format of the XML output from
Whisplacer and the format required by bglcomp in the FSX SDK.

Here is the Whisplacer output for one instance:
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">
	<SceneryObject lat="52.4674677" lon="9.6763220" alt="100.0000000" pitch="0.0000000" bank="0.0000000" heading="0.0000000" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" imageComplexity="NORMAL" instanceId="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}">
		<Trigger type="WEATHER" triggerHeight="9321.0000000">
			<TriggerWeatherData type="UNIDIRECTIONAL_TURBULENCE" heading="300.2298846" scalar="1.0000000"/>
			<Vertex biasX="-2980.8398438" biasZ="-3116.6625977"/>
			<Vertex biasX="-3063.6215820" biasZ="1243.6798096"/>
			<Vertex biasX="4189.4057617" biasZ="1111.0792236"/>
			<Vertex biasX="4156.2944336" biasZ="-3116.6625977"/>
		</Trigger>
	</SceneryObject>

And here is the format required by bglcomp...I have to edit each
Whisplacer XML file by hand to have bglcomp accept it without
generating an error message:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">
	<SceneryObject lat="52.4674677" lon="9.6763220" alt="100.0000000" pitch="0.0000000" bank="0.0000000" heading="0.0000000" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" imageComplexity="NORMAL" instanceId="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}">
		<Trigger type="WEATHER" triggerHeight="9321.0000000">
			<Vertex biasX="-2980.8398438" biasZ="-3116.6625977"/>
			<Vertex biasX="-3063.6215820" biasZ="1243.6798096"/>
			<Vertex biasX="4189.4057617" biasZ="1111.0792236"/>
			<Vertex biasX="4156.2944336" biasZ="-3116.6625977"/>
			<TriggerWeatherData type="UNIDIRECTIONAL_TURBULENCE" heading="300.2298846" scalar="1.0000000"/>			
		</Trigger>
	</SceneryObject>

My question is this....is there a file in Whisplacer that I can edit
to have it place the "TriggerWeatherData" entry in the correct
sequence, after the Vertex entries?

Alternatively, where in the bglcomp xsd file is the entry that
determines the acceptable order of entries for the
Trigger type="WEATHER" entry, and can I make an edit there
so that it accepts the Whisplacer XML output as it exists now.

I've already had to edit the xsd file so that it accepts the
"UNIDIRECTIONAL_TURBULENCE" type, thanks to an old
post I found here in the FSD forums.

TIA,

Paul
