• 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.

Error when launching SAMM

I downloaded version of 2.2.04 of SAMM and extracted it. I placed this extracted folder on my desktop and also tried it on the C drive. I run the .exe file either by double clicking on it or right click > run as administrator and I get an unhandled exception each time. It looks like it can't find the CSGL12DLL. I checked the manual and couldn't find any information on that particular dll. I am running Win 10. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

File CSGLO12DLL.dll is included in the SAMM archive. If you installed SAMM properly, that file would have been in your SAMM folder. It must have been deleted.

I suggest you reinstall SAMM from the archive.

That may be part of the problem. I don't see anything that is an actual installer. The file that I downloaded and extracted is a folder with several sub folders and files and a SAMM.exe file which appears to run the application, not install it. Is there another component that I needed to download, perhaps a "base" program? The instructions say not to run it from the extracted file but I don't see anything else.

There is no installer.

Installation instructions are included in:
  • PLEASE READ ME BEFORE INSTALLING.pdf, and
  • Static Aircraft .mdl Maker.pdf
both included in the archive.

That's an ongoing problem with many anti-virus programs - including the most expensive ones. They tend to discard low-use applications simply because there is no, or only limited, record of use. Makes one wonder if they actually do any analysis of the code.

In my own case, I've removed all the third-party AV applications from my system and simply let Windows Defender do its job. I've never had a problem since doing so.
