• 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.

Hi all ,

l would like to edit LWcfg.spb and PopulationDensity.bgl in order to slow down freeway traffic and reduce the cars appearing .
However all links suggested for tools or ways to handle them files by friends are not working so could someone help .

Question : Where are the cars in SBuilderX freeway traffic residing , which folder . Not in SimObjects/GroundVehicles , because
l moved all vehicles except 4 minis and in freeway traffic l see all kinds of trucks and larger vehicles .

Thanks replies
 
1. You need spb2xml which is now here:
http://lc0277.gratisim.fr/spb2xml2.zip

that will create an xml file you can edit.

It will produce a list of modelID under FreewayTraffic for world regions (same regions as used by landclass) along with a "weighting" which should set the relative number of each model that gets spawned.

The modelID refers to the GUID of models in scenery\global\scenery\vehicles_land.bgl (or I guess you could create your own library to add to this).

The "playing" of this traffic is controlled by this file and the "living world" functionality.

2. In SBuilderX you can exclude "freeway traffic" vector lines, as well as create new ones. The default lines are part of the terrain cvx files, and can be viewed in TMFViewer, though you can't do anything with them directly. You must exclude the defaults then set up your own.

3. Population density can be created by using SBuilderX in "landclass tool", just selecting landclass values in the range 1-99 and compiling the landclass bgl (which you can throw away) but saving the "working" files SBX creates so you can edit the .inf file and manually run through resample to create the actual population density file. I have a tutorial on avsim:

Thank you Scott .

l found spb2xml somewhere and reduced the speed to 40 . Nice .
Thanks your tutorial , but what l would like to do is freeway traffic to have cars of my choice no random , hence the question , where SBX gets them from ?
