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.

The steps you have mentioned don't sound like you have completed all the step or you don't understand the process. Once you have compiled the model within Blender, 3 files are produced from this. The 3 are a ".bin", ".xml", and a ".gltf" files. Of course, the textures need to be present also. These 3 files will then be placed in the correct file structure for developer mode of MSFS to process thmem.
The folder structure is:
Project name folder -->
which contains:
_PackageInt folder -->
PackageDefinitions folder -->
Packages folder -->
PackagesMetadata folder -->
PackageSources folder -->
For your model to be processed, you need to place it in the PackageSources folder
Within this folder, you will have a folder named (modelLib) then within this folder the model folder (for example: "Terminal") and the "texture" folder.
modelLib --> "Terminal" folder
modelLib --> "texture" folder
Within the "Terminal" folder it should contain the 3 files mentioned above: ".bin", ".xml", and a ".gltf" files.
The textures would be placed in the "texture" folder.
Once you have opened the project file and build it with the information showed above. Your folder/file is produced within the Packages folder. You will need to copy the contents within the Package folder to your Community folder of the SIM.

To create the file structure you need to let the SDK through developer mode do it...if you don't the project will not recognize it. I suggest you look at YouTube videos in how to setup a modelLib file. Unfortunately, I don't have means to show you. Away from my computer.
