• 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.

FS2004 I want my autogen!

Greetings all,

I have several scenery addons designed by others that are Scasm based. They look and perform great in FS9 except for the complete obliteration of autogen surrounding the airport.

I have researched this issue here and elsewhere.

My question for the community is, how can I restore my autogen?

I have read that V2= controls autogen excludes and lowering that number will restore autogen. I have had little success with this making any difference.

Given that I do not have the source files, is there anything else I can do?

Also, does the "bounding box" have any impact on this issue?

I have read that there is a tweak for ground polys that helps, but have not been able to find out how to implement it. Can I without the source files?

One of the FS2k2 sceneries in question reportedly has dynamic ground service vehicles that I cannot get to work in FS9. Should it, or was this function lost between FS2k2 and FS9?

All constructive replies will be greatly appreciated.

Have a great day!

Hi,

I would not alter the v2 value, as that can result in disappearing objects.

You could try the dummy rotatedcall trick, if I remember correctly that works in fs2004 (or was it fs2002).
 
Thanks for the reply, Arno

I have seen that referred to several times.

What I haven't seen is a tutorial or set of instructions on how to do it.:(

Unfortunately, my understanding of Scasm is basic, at best.

ALain,

Thanks for the link.

I have seen that thread and if I understand correctly that is code for BGLC,

I am looking for instructions for Scasm.

It appears to me I need to add a RotatedCall to each Area that is killing autogen.

Where do I add it, and what should it look like?

Thanks in advance,
Lane
 
As you do not have the scource files, the only thing I can think off is to decompile the bgl's with something like SCDis, add the rotate call, then try to recompile with scasm.

Thanks for your post, David. I do appreciate it.

I will add it to the list of posts that tell me what to do without telling me how to do it.

I can de-compile/compile .bgl files all day long.

It's the phrasing and placement of the rotatedcall in the .sca that I need help with.

thanks again.

Lane
 
Hi,

The dummy rotatedcall needs to go just before the enda command at the end of the scenery area.

The dummy just calls a label and returns directly.
 
I have added this to the file...
Code: 
RotatedCall( : 0 0 0 )
EndA

Is this correct?

I am still seeing autogen exclusion within the "bounding box" defined by the furthest point in the cardinal directions.

Is this the best I can get?

Thanks again for all the help.

Lane
 
No, because : calls the end of the object. You'd better try something like this:

Code: 
RotatedCall( :dummy 0 0 0 )
Jump( : )
:dummy
Return
 
Glad to hear you fixed it :).
