• 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.

P3D v2 Autogen Editor and Region problem

Hi

Anyone seen this problem? I'm adding a new autogen class.
  1. I copy default.xml from Autogen folder in Prepar3D folder into SDK Environment autogen folder.
  2. I run Autogen Editor.
  3. It opens a dialog of "Validation Features" listing every region (for REVXLIB1, REVXLIB2, and 3) with a Warning Region is missing
  4. After that the program functions OK and it appears I can create a new class with objects.
  5. However, when attempting to save I get the same warnings but the save appears to fail
Anyone know why I'm getting the missing regions warning? Should I be concerned? And just what are the REVXLIBx files?

Is this also seen in the FSX SDK? Does it make a difference for anyone?

Ian, what add-ons do you have installed?
Click to expand...
Basically FSUIPC, Megascenery in USA, UTX, VFR photo-real in UK and, yes, I recently installed RevolutionX - REVX1, REVX2, REVX3 any coincidence with the naming do you think? Most interesting and I hadn't made the connection...

Thanks!

By the way, the warnings make no difference - the tool still works.
 
Did you install RevolutionX into P3D and if so how? I think RevX makes changes to default.xml because it makes a backup called default.rxback on installation.
 
To experiment, I did install RevX into P3D and JustFlight VFR scenery. Simple to do - can't remember if I had to tweak anything. Works a treat. I see the backed up xml but not clear what differences there are - I'm investigating.
 
Of course! The answer is that RevolutionX doesn't change default.xml to include its new object library classes in all Regions - only those relevant for the UK - hence the warning messages. It's the same issue with my own for North America but actually it's not an issue because it loads and saves perfectly well.
 
I think it makes sense to add the objects only to the region where you will use them. Apparently Annotator thinks not so :)
