• 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,

I have downloaded FSXKML v.1.10, install it, and setup the paths to work properly. But it doesn´t. Some trouble is when trying to build the BGL file. Attached are two images with screenshots of what I got. The errors in DOS prompt are in spanish, and means "system couldn´t find specified route", and "system couldn´t find specified file". I check the paths and are fine, also have installed FWTools 2.2.1.

My system is WindowsXP SP2, and I'm using FSX SDK SP2. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance! :)

The problem es when: Running Run_SDK_Tools.bat

Could you run the bat file manually (uncheck "run sdk tools")... and put pause statements in and see which line is causing the problem?
 
Hi Matthew!

I run without check-in that box and runs fine. But when trying double-click over the bat file the same problem comes again in the DOS prompt. "System can´t find specified route".

PS. What is "pause statements"? Sorry...
 
I mean, in the batch file... try and find out which line is failing. I assume it cannot find FWTools or maybe some of the SDK tools because your path has been specified incorrectly?

Hi Matthew, thanks for your replies.

Attached is a picture with the paths...or tell me what files do each tool needs to open in the path file, so I can find them...but I think there is correct.

Well...didn´t work. I try to compile it manually, but when I drag and drop over the "Run_SDK_Tools" or the "BGLComp" I got no BGL file, and I can print and screen the attached screen with some data of the error.

Also I attach the KML file (In the ZIP), and here is the XML generated by FSXKML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadata xml:lang="en">
<FlightSim>
<Geometry clipLevel="15"></Geometry>
<AttributeSet>
<AttributeBlock name="FreewayTrafficRoads" guid="{54B91ED8-BC02-41B7-8C3B-2B8449FF85EC}">
<Field name="NumberOfLanes" type="UINT8" />
<Field name="TrafficDirection" type="CHAR" />
<Field name="Uuid" type="GUID" />
</AttributeBlock>
</AttributeSet>
</FlightSim>
</metadata>

Hope this can help you to fin what can be wrong.

Thanks a lot! :)

I was able to compile your file without any errors.

I've attached all the files so that you can compare, good luck!

Thanks a lot!...I can´t find why I do not compile... :(

As soon as I double clik the "Run SDK Tools" the problem starts at DOS prompt. Saying that can´t find the specified route. Can you send me a print screen of your build option path please? Thanks in advance!
 
Hi Nudge, thank you very much!
I have the same configuration but nothing happens. I have installed FWTools 2.2.1, maybe something wrong with that? Or something wrong with my windows? :confused:

Hi Boris,

I don't know. It could be anything, sorry I can't be more help.

Hi Nudge,

Thank you very much. I have tried with dot and comma, and now with FWTools 1.3.5. But still the same. So I think that the problem is with the Run_SDK_Tools. Because FSX KML makes the four files (SHX, XML, etc):

FSX KML 1.10 (Beta)
Build started
Processing C:\Boye\Diseño escenarios\Herramientas FSX\FSX KML\streettest.kml
Writing Shapefile C:\Boye\Diseño escenarios\Herramientas FSX\FSX KML\FWXSTREETTEST
Writing Shp2Vec XML file - C:\Boye\Diseño escenarios\Herramientas FSX\FSX KML\FWXSTREETTEST.XML
Running Run_SDK_Tools.bat
Build completed

Except the BGL file. When I double click the Run_SDK_Tools file it pops up a message error that "can´t find specified route"...like there is no SDK directory found. But there is it. :confused:
 
The only thing I could suggest is to install the SDK on the same drive as FSX.

It should not matter, but you never know.
