• 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.

How to Combine BGL files

Following on from another post where I described problems creating a perimeter fence for CYVR, I now have completed the fence which consists of 46 separate BGL files for its 46 individual segments. I would like to combine these into a single BGL file.

I have tried using SCLINK, but so far without success - is there any tutorial available on SCLINK and is this the most appropriate program now foir this process?

Hi Nigel,

Why would not create a single XML file that references all your fence models at the appropriate locations, and compile that? You'll get a single BGL.

Hi Nigel,

Better try what Jon already suggested. ScLink does not support the Fs2004 BGL format, so that is never going to work.

Combining everything into one XML file is certainly a good approach. If you re-use a certain MDL object you could even drop some ModelData commands and call the same GUID multiple times.
 
So Nigel as we found offline, you were copying and pasting in multiple copies of the XML header and footer:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

[I]<XML code>[/I]	
</FSData>

There can only be one set per file.
