• 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.

    FSX KML Build Problem

    Build problem I'm new to the FSX_KML program myself but here's a suggestion. If the build completed successfully it's possible the output went somewhere else, like whatever your source folder was. If you remember the filename do a search for that with the .bgl extension. It might be there...

    Some success, many questions

    After finally getting the proper SDK up and running with other basic tools I tried my first experiment with FSX_KML. I thought I'd start with a simple airport project between Fulton, Ark. and Hope, Ark. I followed the tutorial, created a poly to flatten the airport area and got some amuzing...

    fsx_sdk1a.exe installation problem

    Success It took three attempts and lots of changes in permissions (one of those Vista things) but I finally got past all the error messages and successfully installed SP1a. Now I have the tools menu and can begin in earnest to study the hobby anew. Thanks for the help.

    fsx_sdk1a.exe installation problem

    Thanks That's what I figured. During my original attempt at installing the new SDK I had errors pointing to Office and permission rights, which I addressed with difficulty, getting new errors. Very frustrating. I had high hopes of getting into scenery design, since I'm now disabled and have...

    fsx_sdk1a.exe installation problem

    MY FSX works fine. When I bought and activated it I was prompted and immediately installed SP1. A month or so later I installed the SDK from disk, not realizing there was a new SDK. I downloaded the new one and it would not install, though it removed my older one. I tried that twice and then...

    Designation guidelines for new airports?

    Thanks That's exactly what I was looking for. Now, on to figuring out how to build it using ADE and SBuilderX. I have so much to learn.

    Designation guidelines for new airports?

    Suppose one were to build a fictional airport at a ranch in Arkansas or Texas. What would be "legally" acceptable? Many Arkansas airports (even municipal ones) begin with M. Where does one find the comprehensive definitions? Version is FSX not 2002.

    Problems with resample.exe and ShpVec2.exe

    I bow to Master Meshman Thanks for the succinct education. I tried ShpVector2.exe when reading the Terrain and Scenery.html in the service pack and nowhere did I get a clue that what you point out was the case, hence my confusion. What you say makes perfect sense. I briefly considered such...

    Problems with resample.exe and ShpVec2.exe

    Both fail to open. They flash and disappear, like aborted pop-ups. I get a glimpse of the DOS-like screen, sometimes I see characters and poof, nothing. It is not a problem with .exe extension. All others work. I've turned off the pop-up blocker and changed security settings. Nothing...

    SbuilderX error?

    Scruffyduck was on to something with the permissions thing. You can install to Program Files, but you must Share the individual SBuilderX Folders and share them TWICE. Once using the Share tab and again with the SECURITY tab. Make sure USER (you) has full access in both cases. Time consuming...
