• 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 need to migrate my old FSX KML projects (Google Earth KML files) to SBuilderX and was wondering if there is a tool to do that or a built in function. Otherwise I am afraid I will have to redo the whole thing again :(
 
Hi Emilio:

Perhaps this info might help ? :idea:

http://www.newsite.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showpost.php?p=128917&postcount=17

Of course, there is the Google Earth > KML > PreFSXKML > RingPiece > SBX > SBuilderX work-flow option as well. ;)


...And if needed, look into this:

BTW: Take a look at this site, and in particular, this file to see if it is sufficiently detailed (if not, *.SHP file sub-sets can be "appended" to SBuilderX and edited) :

Additional options for creating / working with source data for CVX vector content etc.:

Hope this helps ! :)
