• 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 last nights build I have deprecated some steps that were marked as to be depcated for a while already. This includes the ExportSHP step. Since alternative steps are available for a while already this should not really give problems anymore. The reason to deprecate them now is that I found out that ExportSHP is not working correctly with the attributes in all cases and I don’t want to spend more time on fixing that.

What do you mean with that?
 
The GUI gives you auto completion for all possible values. Is that what you mean?
 
after auto completes writes the string initially;
when that value is replaced there are no suggestion from auto complete for that feature,
logically i tried to use shp, shape, etc... when the correct format is "ESRI Shape File"; there is no list to select from or examples,
failing to specific the correct format will further fail the script with no suitable driver was found from OGR
 
I see what you mean. This is basically how the auto completion works. When trying to find a roof GUID you also need to know the first letter of the name.

Once you typed in a letter that has some possible values, pressing backspace will give the entire list of options. I'm not sure if there is a key to toggle this list from the start. I would have to check.

I should probably also add the link below to the manual, that is the list of OGR drivers with their names:

http://www.gdal.org/ogr_formats.html
 
You learn something new every day, Ctrl + space toggles the auto completion window as well and will give you all the options.
 
Thank you Arno,
that is exactly what i ended up doing ;)
i don't think we need a full file format list there;
maybe a link as you suggested in the popup description would be sufficient?
