• 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.

Hello, Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I save a kml file from google earth, tag it as a waterclass and then build it. I have 4 polygons saved as 4 seperate kml files. the first one builds fine, the second one gives me a build error:

ERROR 4: `BENONI LAKE_WaterClass.tif' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

GDALOpen failed - 4
`BENONI LAKE_WaterClass.tif' does not exist in the file system, and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

If anyone has had this before, please could you respond. I am running this on a Windows Vista Box, I have FSX with sp2, FW Tools 2.20 and the original sdk not - upgraded. Do you think it has something to do with the version of my SDK, should I get the latest? Thanks in advance. Martyn
 
This is not to do with FSX KML, it's to do with FW Tools.

Your polygon is too small, make it larger, or use the LandClassPoly_ type.
