• 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.

I have a question about the xml Format in the Wiki.

Code:
<FSData version="9.0" 
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

    <SceneryObject lat="52 27.52" lon="5 31.30" 
                   alt="0M" pitch="0.0" bank="0.0" 
                   heading="317.6" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" 
                   imageComplexity="SPARSE">
        <LibraryObject name="{879C35D2-5698-4CA9-9EBA-8D7CAA717495}" 
                       scale="1.0"/>
    </SceneryObject>

</FSData>

Is this the Right Format ?
Or is this Right ?

Code:
<FSData version="9.0" 
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

    <SceneryObject lat="52 27.52" lon="5 31.30" 
                   alt="0M" pitch="0.0" bank="0.0" 
                   heading="317.6" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" 
                   imageComplexity="SPARSE">
        <LibraryObject name="{879C35D2-5698-4CA9-9EBA-8D7CAA717495}" 
                       scale="1.0"/>
        <ModelData sourceFile="NameoftheModel.MDL"/>
    </SceneryObject>

</FSData>
 
Depends on what you are doing.

The first example places an object (MDL file) that is already located in a library BGL file. This object can be placed again and again around the world using this code (by changing the lat and long).

The second example places the object (MDL file) into *this* BGL file, and as I understand it will typically not allow the object to be placed anywhere else if you use code like the first example.

Hope this helps,
 
Thanks Tom.

That would I know - what the different is.

Some of my FSX Scenery Building Friends, most of them are Newbie, have problems with the Wiki-Articel related to this Theme.

They use the Blueprint from there and are wondering if it not work.

My english is not good enough to change the Wiki Articel. Sorry please.
