• 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.

msfsbglxml - convert MSFS (2020) BGL files to XML

The images I believe in the default MSFS KINT has the images of airplanes burnt into the ground or apron textures if that makes sense...if you look at it say from a drone. Don't think It is in my bgl. When i run the list of exclusions in my airport..there are none and none listed in the xml of my KINT.

Thanks Jon.

They are in the photo scenery that underlies the airport. They are not in the XML - they exist only in the image. You would need to hide them with something like and apron
 
I mistakenly overwritten a XML of a project I was working on and would like to recover it. I have the bgl of the last saved version thankfully in my MSFS community file. Is this tool able to recover my xml?

It should be able to do that,
 
Downloaded msfsbglxml-1.0.20210217 this date and successfully used it. Thanks very much for this useful tool.

I was able to confirm that the bgl contains the ILS navaids (LOC GS DME) but MSFS will not render them if the <DeleteAirport> parameter for DeleteAllILS is true. The expected behavior is that, as quoted from SDK documentation, "use this element to remove features from any previously loaded airport (including those that are defined as part of the base sim)." In reality, the ILS is removed from the currently loaded airport as well.
 
I ran the prog and confirmed "yes" to the terms, but now the prog does not act when running the exe file, what am I doing wrong?
 
I am not sure this will work...In MSFSBGLXML-1.0.20210217..there is a Bgl2xml_GUI.exe...

Hello:

This is an English language forum.

You may wish to use Google to translate posts from / to this forum: ;)


"What program should I use to transform an ADE 20 Alpha .adb or .fsx file into BGL?"

Please explain what you mean by the file extension types you cited above.


Are you asking how to process a FSX / P3D format ADE version 1.7x *.AD4 airport 'project' file so it can be used to create a MSFS airport ? :scratchch

I do not recognize those extensions for ADE 2020. ADE 2020 generated bg files from XML source.
 
Voglio trasformare questi progetti integrati in ADE per FS2020. Purtroppo gli SDK non funzionano per me. Puoi trasformare questi aeroporti e perché punti da utilizzare e leggere in FS2020?

Does this program still work? All I get are error messages:

msfsbglxml : The term 'msfsbglxml' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ msfsbglxml --bgl klou_adex_zs.bgl --xml klou.xml
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (msfsbglxml:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I cannot get the help extension to work either. Obviously I may be using improper syntax but can't figure out what proper syntax is. Any suggestions?
 
I don't think that the developer of this program is still active so there is likely to be no support. what xml are you trying to get?
 
Hi Jon, thanks for responding. Well, actually a local airport (KLOU) has zero static aircraft (nor any AI aircraft at all regardless of in game AI aircraft settings) and I was going to attempt to look at some bgl's to try and figure out why. I have tried to open the trafficAircraft.bgl file in the AI folder without success and am attempting to open just about any bgl file just to see if the program works. Perhaps it no longer works with the current version of MSFS files?
