• 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

    You appear to have run the program from the PowerShell command line; you must open PowerShell, then type cmd and press enter. Navigate to your folder, then try again. This has something to do with running the program as administrator, something you're not doing if you just open a PowerShell...

    msfsbglxml - convert MSFS (2020) BGL files to XML

    Thank you for that information! While my use of ADE is a little rusty, I'll fire it up and try to do the same. I appreciate your figuring out the problem. Thanks again, Ken

    msfsbglxml - convert MSFS (2020) BGL files to XML

    Ok, got it to work, thanks for listing an example which showed me the proper syntax. Appreciate it! Jon, looking at KLOU in ADE shows a myriad of GA parking spaces are available, yet MSFS will not populate the airport with any static GA planes. I suppose I can create a scenery file and do so...

    msfsbglxml - convert MSFS (2020) BGL files to XML

    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...

    msfsbglxml - convert MSFS (2020) BGL files to XML

    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...

    Taxiway lights

    Thanks for the reply and info. I have spent several days looking into the SDK and watched a few videos on getting started on projects, and indeed none of it seemed to be simple to use. At one point while exploring developer mode I could see the airport "behind" the screen developer info but was...

    Taxiway lights

    Guys: After many months of trying to get Asobo to add missing taxiway lights (all of them!) to KSDF airport in Louisville, Ky., they have still not been added after the latest update (1.11.6). I am coming to the conclusion that if I want them I am going to have to do it myself. So, for all of...

    ModelConverterX support for AeroFly

    Arno, Figured out a workaround after some trial and error. Thanks for the tip on the placement info, glad (for now) I've got this working! Ken

    ModelConverterX support for AeroFly

    Thanks for the reply Arno, I appreciate it. I'm not quite sure what you mean about placement; the file I'm trying to export objects out of is an FSX bgl that is in FSX, not models I've created and haven't put into use. Not quite sure what else I can attempt so may give up on this. I really...

    ModelConverterX support for AeroFly

    Arno, I am attempting to convert some old FSX bgl models to AFS2 (for my own personal use on my PC only, of course). I have had a lot of success converting many models, mostly individual ones. However, I've hit a snag trying to convert bgl's that contain more than one model in the file. MCX...
