• 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.

Opening user airport bgl

Hello

I need to adapt older AF2 bgl files to FSX (they still work in FSX).
Such files can't be opend in FSXP; so I tried to use first ADE 52, with "Transfer to FSX" item, but new saved files still can't be opened in FSXP; message: "There are no airports in this XML file".

Is the only solution: first to use SDE to decompile and create an xml file, then opening it in FSXP?

Curiously, I noticed that if I open an AF2 file in AFX, just change "FS2004 airport" to "FSX airport", and save, this new bgl file is correctly opened in FSXP.

Thanks for help.

How old are these af2 files. Are they FS2002 type AFCAD files?

Many FS9 af2 bgl's do not have a airport associated with them and FSXP or ADE does not open them.

What some designers do is place the excludes, taxiway signs, buildings, new approach data and scenery GUIDS into these blank af2 bgls making them appear as if they were airports. These type af2 bgl's do not have a airport header so they are not read by airport design utilities.
