• 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.

Hydro Polys (amongst others) - I get the GUID, but where do I get the UUID?

Hello All,

If I am making a Hydro poly (or any other vector poly with similar attributes) the SDK says that it has 4 attributes. SlopeX, Slope Y, GUID, and UUID.

I get the GUID is the GUID of the type of poly.

I guess the Slope values are to do with sloping polys, and I won't need them for what I am doing right now.

However, where do I obtain or conjure up a UUID from?

cheers

Braedon.
 
Technically The UUID is nothing else than a GUID but unique for your feature (Don't ask me what the compiler needs that for).
So what you need to do there ist simply use a program which can generate a GUID (e.g. guidgen or an online source)
and paste that GUID into your UUID attribute.
 
OK, so it doesnt refer to another resource/property/etc. OK.

Thanks

Braedon
 
FSX/P3D does not use the UUID. I'm not even sure the compiler records it in the BGL.
 
It very well may be compiled, but I don't believe it's used in the sim. I had earlier thought it might order the view of overlapping polys (imbrication), but I seem to recall it doesn't. Just fill the uuid with 0's and it should work.
