• 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.

this is what i am doing-

File -> create fs object file -> scenery object file. i name it watertower1.bgl and hit save.
message comes up 'failed to create mdl file'

i dont want a mdl, i want a bgl file.

what have i done wrong? i followed the tutorial to the letter.
 
Hi Joe, I can only refer you to the FSDS help (it is too long to re-print here!). If you look there you will find a section on Compile Errors listed under the 'Reference' sub heading. This section explains exactly what causes the error you have encountered. It also explains how to fix it. I hope this helps.
 
got it...kinda

ok

i reinstalled fsds and deleted the tower.

i made a simple cube and come roof and saved it, no problem.

i think i did not properly save the tower cuz a different menu cam up for the house.

so that is fixed, but i tried the tutorial again and am not getting the "add point" under to highlight so i can select it. no biggie....for now, anyway.

thanks all.....off to post another item

Joe- Which one are you trying? Under part is add poiont. This works only (as I understand) if you select - the little dotted square icon- use that to select two points. Then you go to parts and choose 'add point'. This places a new point in between the two you selected.

However... if you are trying to draw something, make sure you are in template mode. I'm sure you are... but you are possibley going to part to choose add point whe you should be going to.......> EDIT and choose ADD POINTS!!!!!!!!!1 Ever so slight difference huh? don't worry - it got me too once. I'm just guessing but could this be what happened? Bob :)
