• 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.

Ok kids,

After being away for quite some time, I finally managed to complete my remodelling of my local airport here in clintonville (KCLI). I have been working on my Desk computer with portable hard-drive, with all the files on the E: (portable unit). They are compiled and work great!

but I copy them (bgl's etc) over to a computer thru our school network to my student flight simulator and put them in the same folder as on my desk unit but on the C: and when I fire up FS.... nothing. No excludes, no buildings, nothing...

What did I do wrong? Do I need to recompile on this machine? Is it the fact, I did this on my E: and now they are on the C: and its just not seeing them???

Anyone have a solution or idea?

Matt :banghead:
 
Well, this doesn't matter. I compiled my work on C: and my flightsim is installed on E:. Some of my testers have their FS on D:, some on K...

Maybe you have to add the scenery via manage sceneries (Or something like that. I only have a german FS.). This should be under settings.

Did you place your textures and objects in own folders under your addon scenery/scenery folder (Looks like this: fs2004/addon scenery/scenery/yourscenery. yourscenery should include a folder called scenery and one called textures). If you did so, you maybe have to add the scenery manually in FS, as mentioned above. Hope this will help
 
Two thoughts

1. I mostly update my files as I go along. As I save the file, it overwrites the previous verson. The other day I saved a new project to a new Addon Scenery folder. It didn't show up either. I turns out that I didn't add the area throught the scenery manager first. :banghead: It easy to take for granted...Once i added the new scenery folder, it did it's thing...

2. I normally place objects using Arno's OBPlacer XML. (Correct me if I'm wrong here) but I found out that If I place the objects (buildings, cars, etc) under the "User library Objects" the actual structure is not parsed into the BGL, just referenced by the BGL. On the other hand, if I did an Objects>MassAdd MDL folder and put my bgls in the MDL Objects, it seemed to parse the model into the BGL. The file sizes were substantially different.
