Is it possible to access other generic buildings with rwy12 or EZ?
I specifically would like to get at these elongated hangars.

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.

Nice one Arch, could you explain where it is please? I have activated all the libraries in EZ but can't find it anywhere?
EDIT
No Longer a real prob, I had missed an EZ library which had quite a few similar ones, but oddly enough still not this particular one? !

Hi Arch, I'm afraid that one is beyond me ATM, don't have any Idea how to extract models, this screenshot was taken at Placerville California so the hanger is obviously used in more than one place if you have seen it further south as well!
Actually, since it is a generic building, you don't need to make a library object out of it, if you are just placing it a few times. It can be done easily with XML. Here is the Bogota Hangar, which looks like the same one as Placerville (although I believe the one at Placerville might be longer).

Change the coordinates to the proper location of course and the heading. You can adjust the size in size X and size Z.....just keep in mind the texture pattern must repeat, and you don't want 1/2 of a door at the end of the building. The one at Bogota has 10 bays, so apparently the length is a multiple of 16 meters.
I am using replacement textures, but I imagine it is the same for default textures.
Once you make the necessary corrections, save the text file with the extension .xml and drag or drop the XML over BGLcomp, and bingo you have your new bgl. Place it in an active scenery folder.
You might want to check out NewBGLAnalyse as it makes it very easy to extract generic objects and models from the default FS9 files. The file you will be interested in is in the main scenery folder, then the particular area folder (SAME in the case of Bogota, NAMW for California). Open the scenery subfolder and look for a bgl starting with the letters OB. NewBGLAnalyze will extract an xml file from the bgl with all of the objects and models. They will be very numerous, but if you do a search in notepad you will narrow it down pretty quick. For instance for the Bogota Hanger by slewing in FS9 I found the coordinates to be approx 4* 41.547'N and 74*7.996W. Since I know these are not exact, I entered: find "N04 and then scrolled down until I found the correct one. I knew I was looking for a building with a RIDGE ROOF so it didn't take long.
Let me know if this helps, and I apologize for the discourse if you already knew all of this.

Cheers Arch, I will have to give NewBGLAnalyse a look, it sounds interesting, I never knew any of that so thanks loads!
