• 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.

I Ihave a problem with scasm. weel i have read a thread to create a runway light with scasm.
so i've some questions
1) .sca is the same as scasm? or scasm is only the compiler to convert the .sca to bgl?
2) what is the .api? is the same as .sca file?
3)i've FSDS 3.5 and 3 but how i can create the .sca file?

Please i need create runway lights and papi lights with good visibility near 20 nm. Thanks.

1) SCA is the extension normally used for the SCASM source files (these are just text file that you can edit with a text editor). SCASM.exe is the compiler that turns them in a BGL file.

2) An API is also a SCASM source file, but then a macro. The difference between a SCA and an API file is that the API file has some arguments (like position, heading, etc) that can be passed to it when placing the macro. This placing is normally done from a SCA file.

3) I am not sure if you can make it from FSDS, FSDS can not make everything that can be done with SCASM. Which thread are you refering to for the code you want to use?

Hi Arno, thanks for your answer this is the thread http://www.fsdeveloper.com/foru/showthread.php?t=418&highlight=papi+scasm
so can i create .sca file with scasm? o how i can create .sca files ? Really thanks for your reply Arno :)
 
Hi,

You can create a new SCASM soure file with any text editor, for example Notepad. In the thread you mention I did not see a complete source sample, only a few SCASM commands. So that means you need to add some more code around it to be able to compile (Header, Area, RefPoint, etc).
