• 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.

Acceleration Pack SDK1a / Vista Compile Problems

I have FSX Planner R26b on a Vista 32 system which has been updated to the new MS Acceleration Expansion Pack (SP2) and
what is a new version of the SDK.

When I try to compile I get parsing and location errors.

///////////////////
INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C1003: Failed to create MSXML object! (0x80040154)

Parsing document: Moonshiners Bay WAMB.xml

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2430: Unrecoverable error parsing XML!
INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)
INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2003: Failed to process file: Moonshiners Bay WAMB.xml
Can't copy BGL file into the destination folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\BGL Compiler SDK\Moonshiners Bay WAMB.BGL (The system cannot find the file specified)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This does not happen on another system running XP and FSX SP1.

I tried copying the older SDK to the vista system on another drive and referred to that for compiling but the error was the same.

I also verified that the destination folders have full access by "everyone".

FSX Planner is running in "Run as Administrator"" mode.
 
Oops, Sorry, I did install the newer SDK from the Acceleration DVD.

Thanks for the links to the errors. I shall read carefully.
 
I checked my system and MSXML4 SP2 for Vista is installed and apparently up to date so I do not understand the MSXML error at the beginning of the compile.

I continue to use my XP system for compiling the bgl's. Maybe that is simply what I have to do. :confused:
 
I haven't tried compiling on Vista with the Acceleration SDK yet. Hopefully I'll have time to look into it soon, and see if there is an issue with FSX Planner, or if it lies elsewhere.

Thanks for the heads up though!

Hi Folks

Canuck
SDK SP1a is not compatible with Acceleration,
you need to install SDK SP2.

Please see - FS Developer - Wiki - SDK Installation (FSX)


As for your error,
please see - FS Developer - Wiki - BglComp Errors

Thanks for the info Paul - It might have been beter though it these instructions were actually mentions in the installation booklet!!

Also, have you noticed that the html help files are missing from the Accelleration SDK. I'm glad I have a non-statndard, second old SDK loaded which still has the html file in it. Is this an intentional bug or will it be fixed. Another M$ feature no doubt!!
