• 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.

Folks

The following file is only the Scenery Design Engine itself.

http://www.scruffyduck.co.uk/files/engine_091_2628.zip


To use this

In your SDE application folder rename the file jmFlightSimLib.dll to something like jmFlightSimLib.old

unzip the new version and it into your SDE folder. This is version 0.91.2628.

It should address most all the bugs reported in the last few days. I would appreciate your testing it for me.

Thanks :)
 
If you downloaded this prior to this post then please download again. I introduced a bug in that engine update by mistake that caused the airport scanner to not generate the list.

The file name etc is the same but hopefully the bug is out.

Thanks and apologies for the inconvenience
 
Jon,

Airport scans - okay

Generic Buildings are okay.

However. I can't compile my XML - I validate and get okay. I press compile. I get an error. I save as XML. I then press compile | FSX. I get an error :

The system cannot find the file specified.

The pointer remains as hourglass, but I can select menu items.

The work directory has both temp.xml and Example1.xml - both are same size - 93K. My input file was Example1.xml file but it is in another directory.

EDIT *****

Save as SDE error:

Object reference not set to an instance of object

**** EDIT 2 ******

Sorry my bad. I forgot to rereference BGLCOMP after I move/changed things.

All is okay now - compiled and saved SDE. Interesting point is that I did not get an error message when I pressed validate. Which lead me to believe BGLCOMP and xsd were okay.

Jon, not a bug (maybe a feature request). When errors are reported it gives a line number. Is there a way to go to that line, or even list line numbers?

Good idea, I had thought of that. Let me see what I can do for the next version that changes the IDE (Usuer Interface).

Well the fact is that getting the XML to validate against the Schema is not the end of the story. A lot of checking is done in the compiler itself and you can have XML valid against the schema which the compiler throws out. There is at least one case (I posted about it some while back) where the two are mutually exclusive. Satisfy the Schema and the compilerthrows and error, satisfy the compiler and the validate fails. I reported it to ACES and they may have fixed it now.
