• 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 merge multiple ASM files?

Hello again to all the kind people at fsdeveloper

Like many I am using the FS2002 method of creating ground polys for FSX. Like many I am also having autogen exclusion problems. I've read many threads here and tried the method of moving the reference point which was supposed to push the autogen exclusion away. I couldn't get this to work for me as one of the problems was the ground poly would disappear (plus the exlusion would stay around the object).

I'll try rhumbaflubby's trick of changing the scale_agl line from 500 to 0 to see if that works. If not I will have to resort to splitting the groundpoly into parts. Which brings me to my question. How do you merge asm files? If I split my gorund poly into parts can I merge these separate asm files into one file which I can then run through BGLC to create a single .bgl?

I'm just looking at the asm code now and there is a lot of OBJECT_0 calls. I'm guessing that you could coopy and paste in all the OBJECT_0 parts from another asm you want to merge and change the OBJECT_0 to OBJECT_1. The asm would then end up calling multiple _0.asm files. Can anyone confirm this? and even better post a copy of a merged asm file.

Once again thankyou for any help you can provide
 
Hi,

I think that is not as easy to do. In the Wiki article about ground polygons there is a explanation on how to add multiple layers in one BGL, but that assumes they all have the same reference point. If you split them up, that would no longer be the case, so then the tweak does not work.

I think you would have to put all the main ASM files behind each other, so that you can compile with multiple areas. But I never tried if that really works.
