• 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.

hi everyone,
i recently switched from XP to Vista to take advantage of directx 10 in FSX Acceleration.

i also upgraded my SDK to ServicePack2 for 3D MAX 7.i am currently trying out some scenery ideas in MAX7 but when i try to compile the .MDL file to a .BGL using the new BGLComp.exe provided in the SDK SP2 nothing happens. i am not very fermiliar with code and think that maybe my placement.xml file is not correct. i have copied it bellow.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">


<SceneryObject lat="26 53.94" lon="-73 32.24" alt="0" pitch="0" bank="0" heading="88" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" imageComplexity="NORMAL">
<LibraryObject name="{B0EDA96B-89AA-4241-ACF4-DA6A8CD0C7C0}" scale="1.0" />
</SceneryObject>

<ModelData name="{B0EDA96B-89AA-4241-ACF4-DA6A8CD0C7C0}" sourceFile="test Island.MDL" />
</FSData>


can anybody see a mistake?

help appreciated.

Well if this for FSX then there is no name= for the modelData section. Check out the SDK documentation
 
thanx a lot for the advice! i deleted

name="{B0EDA96B-89AA-4241-ACF4-DA6A8CD0C7C0}"

from the Model/Data and everything is working again.
