• 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.

FSX2FS9 Buildings Missing

Hello folks.

Having only recemtly discovered this tool I decided to give it a try. The airport I chose was MMAS in Mexico.

The original FSX scenery files are MMAS cars.bgl, MMAS terminal.bgl, MMAS gas.bgl, MMAS various.bgl, MMAS hangars.bgl, MMAS planes.bgl, MMAS.bgl, MMAS_ADEX_FAG.ad3 and MMAS_ADEX_FAG.bgl.

When I ran the conversion tool it told me that the first six were already configured for FS9 (so just copied them to new airfield folder), the MMAS.bgl file contained no useable data, the .ad3 file I ignored whilst the MMAS_ADEX_FAG.bgl file converted to MMAS_ADEX_FAG.bgl.bgl (yes, two .bgl's). No errors reported.

When loaded into FS9 however, I just got the bare airfield in the scenery. Not a good start!

So I loaded the whole lot info ADE9 and complied it as a single file. Still no scenery objects visible in the sim.

When I hover the cursor over an object in ADE9 it shows a thumbnail of the object together with the GUID, Shows at:, heading and drawing layer but reports file unknown.

Confused. As far as I know, there are only FS9 thumbnails loaded into ADE9. So why can it recognize the object but not be able to find it? Different object library?

Does the fact that the thumbnail is displayed mean that I do have the object somewhere and, if so, how do I find out where?

Over to you.
