MSFS20 CGL error while building package

[Fiideell]

Hi, Im trying to do my first custom CGL, however when I want to build the package Im getting error as seen in the picture and I have no idea what it means. Tried to google it but no luck. For some time the samples are not included in the SDK hence the documentation is still not updated. Am I missing something?

Thanks for help

OK, I got it built. The folder structure (created by the sim) and missing file from SDK samples was the issue. However, not the only one

I got the package built but the custom aerial image is not showing up in the sim. I dont know why. Tried my best. If anyone is willing to lend a help and have a look at my project I attach link bellow.

in PackageDefinitions.xml I renamed these lines

<AssetDir>PackageSources\CGLs\</AssetDir>
<OutputDir>CGLs\</OutputDir>
</AssetGroup>

<AssetDir>PackageSources\aerial\</AssetDir>
<OutputDir>CGL\</OutputDir>
</AssetGroup

in the folder PackageSources / CGLs rename folder for PackageSources / aerial
in the folder PackageSources / CGLaerial_images rename for PackageSources / aerial

in CGLBuilderConfig.xml rename
<CGL type="SecondaryAerialImage" input="Tiles" directory="aerial_images"/>
for
<CGL type="SecondaryAerialImage" input="Tiles" directory="aerial"/>

I think it worked.
hope it helped you.

Hello,

The tiles are wrongly named for that location. I don't know the process you used to create them.

 

[Fiideell]

Used QGIS an tiles2bing. Followed this tutorial.
Where can I find the number it should have?

 

[rhumbaflappy]

That's not the best way to obtain the tiles. If you can get a Geotiff image of the airport (EPSG:3857) WGS 84 Pseudo-Mercator.
Linked is a zip file with the goods. Just run the BAT file to generate the aerial-images. The TIF is a geotiff trimmed with Paint.net. Paint.net retains the geotiff data on saving.

The geotiff was made with QGIS.

Wow, thank you for giving it a try. A came back because I got the same issue and your .bat just works fine. With the same input tiles it generates correct coordinates. But if I do it in cmd it just doesnt. I dont get it.

Hello ! I'm a really average developer, and I'm trying to get an aerial image out.

I saw the explanations, but I'm having a little trouble understanding what to do in the SimpleAerial\PackageDefinitions\mycompany-aerial.xml file.

If anyone can give me a hand, I'd be grateful !

Regards,
Marc

That xml file controls what gets compiled. What part is a problem for you?

Ce fichier xml contrôle ce qui est compilé. Quelle partie est un problème pour vous ?

Hello ! I'm having a hard time understanding how to output aerial imagery. You with console errors.
What I can't figure out is how do I point output to CGL? I build the file?
It then tells me that I don't have PACKAGEDEFINITIONS\SCENERYBUILD-AIRPORT-US512-DREUX-LOUVILLIERS-AERIAL.XML
I thought this is done when I complete a new project

 

[rhumbaflappy]

Show us this: SCENERYBUILD-AIRPORT-US512-DREUX-LOUVILLIERS-AERIAL.XML

 

[Marcstrasb]

Show us this: SCENERYBUILD-AIRPORT-US512-DREUX-LOUVILLIERS-AERIAL.XML

Here is the file!

You could try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AssetPackage Version="0.1.0">
    <ItemSettings>
        <ContentType>SCENERY</ContentType>
        <Title>US512</Title>
        <Manufacturer/>
        <Creator>Marc Roujansky</Creator>
    </ItemSettings>
    <Flags>
        <VisibleInStore>false</VisibleInStore>
        <CanBeReferenced>false</CanBeReferenced>
    </Flags>
    <AssetGroups>
        <AssetGroup Name="ContentInfo">
            <Type>ContentInfo</Type>
            <Flags>
                <FSXCompatibility>false</FSXCompatibility>
            </Flags>
            <AssetDir>PackageDefinitions\scenerybuild-airport-us512-dreux-louvilliers-aerial\ContentInfo</AssetDir>
            <OutputDir>ContentInfo\scenerybuild-airport-us512-dreux-louvilliers-aerial</OutputDir>
        </AssetGroup>
        <AssetGroup Name="scenery">
            <Type>CGL</Type>
            <Flags>
                <FSXCompatibility>false</FSXCompatibility>
            </Flags>
            <AssetDir>PackageSources\Scenery\airport-us512-dreux-louvilliers-aerial\scenery\</AssetDir>
            <OutputDir>CGL\</OutputDir>
        </AssetGroup>
    </AssetGroups>
</AssetPackage>

The compiler is telling you your OutputDir must start with CGL. You could use <OutputDir>CGL\Scenery\airport-us512-dreux-louvilliers-aerial\scenery\</OutputDir> , but it doesn't need to be in a folder with such a long name. Just CGL\ is fine.

Hello ! By wanting to make it complicated I had only setbacks ! By putting the project back in devmode, and not touching anything, this one compiled the project without the slightest worry !

I wanted to thank you for your help ! Thank you so much

Good morning, when I arrive at the airport, my CGL in the distance shows up as white as a patch. As I get closer, it disappears and the CGL becomes better as it should be. Any help on this?
