• 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.

Guys, can you tell me is Dons GEOLOCK still being supported/discussed in any of the forums still?

Cheers
Andrew

btw, I am aware of Dons absence. 😢
 
Tom, do you have any expertise with it? I'm finding that if I unlock an object file that those objects no longer appear in their designated location......

Cheers
Andrew
 
I used it a tiny bit before I started using only my own objects. I did not see this behavior. What sim are you using it with?
 
I only tinkered briefly with Don's GEOLOCK utility, but IIRC I was able to do more of what I needed in FS2Kx via scruffyduck's BGL2XML.


IIUC, you are attempting to place 'Geolocked' objects from a "airport"-associated scenery object library BGL outside the Geolocked area ?


FYI: Assuming this is for use only on your own computer, you can extract 3D MDLs without Geolocking via BGL2XML.


You can also use BGL2XML to extract XML placement info from APX / custom airport-type BGLs and OBX BGLs.
