• 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.

MSFS20 Automation of object placement in scenery - MSFS2020

I come to you with a question regarding the automatic creation of a scenery package for MSFS2020. What is the best way to approach this? I am specifically looking for automation because the whole idea is to place 30 different 3D objects, each with its own unique GUID, in 150 predefined locations for which I have the geographical coordinates. An important aspect of this task is that some objects may be repeated at different coordinates.

I would like to do this as automatically as possible due to the time-consuming nature of manually placing these 3D objects and the potential need for future updates.

Can anyone suggest the fastest way to achieve this?
 
Chat gpt?

Basically you need to have the coordinates in a file (.CSV, JSON, whatever convenient)
Another one with the guids

And a some logic to select where you want what
(Random? Distance?)

Then take the SceneryObject and LibraryObject syntax and feed them with the coordinates,

Scenery Object Definitions

docs.flightsimulator.com docs.flightsimulator.com

Finally, iterate through all coords
 
sir if you already have everything....what do you need?

- create a project (manually or using the wizard)
- add a simple bgl asset group,
- plop your automatically created .xml in it, <-- that is where something like chatGPT can help create a script for...
- compile,
- copy into community

Do you need to automate the above steps?
