• 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.

MSFS HotFix 5 error when starting a project from BGL

Hello,

in trying to open a BGL for the first time to edit parking stand numbers and types, I get the following error. I have tried to send a log via the application, but because I believe it is the first time I am trying to load the airport, I get an error message that it can not send the log because the folder structure for the project does not exist. The program quits after hitting OK. So I thought I would send it here as best I could. The projects was to modify TropicalSim TNCC parking stands to the correct names/numbers and type for personal use. (MSFS SDK 0.19.2, ADE on HotFix 5.

Thanks in advance,

Xander

What is the bgl file - FSX/P3D or MSFS? Is it stock or addon third party? Can you attach the bgl file to a post in this thread so we can check it out?
 
Hello Jon,

this is the BGL file in question. From TropicalSim Curacao - TNCC addon for for MSFS.

Thanks in advance for your time !

OK - I have replicated it. It's a bug in my code. I am working on an update to fix some things so I will add it to that. Sorry can't give a timeline but will try and get it done soon
 
Attached is the XML source for that bgl file You should be able to create a new project using File > Create Project From Xml.

Hi @Sam Coat

Iam probally trying to fix the same issue your having with parking spot for GSX.

Would you mind sharing your conplete project so i can also use it, i tried myself but too hard for me.

I wish to be able to use gsx with tncc but most parking spot are isolated.

Iam from Aruba 🙂

Cheers
 
@B757200 Bon dia,

due to work and family, I have had to stop work on it. I will continue work probably a bit in December and after that mid-January. I have already managed to build the service roads and parking spots. However, there are some things in MSFS I still need to figure out, namely;

- In Little Nav Map all parkings show correctly. This with TropialSim's 3rd party airport installed. So I have yet to know why the parking positions have different names in SIM. Probably something to do with conflicting BGL's.

- In P3D it was a simple process to edit and existing BGL and have it as an updated version in the 3rd party folder. In MSFS it seems a bit more convoluted.

Both may be easy answers, but I still have to research how I need to compile the changes, where the BGL goes and if other BGL's need to be de-activated or something.

Cheers ...
