• 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 Runtime Error 13 'Type Mismatch' when importing SBX file (FIXED)

Hello,

I'm currently undertaking a project of creating some islands that are missing in the FS9 default World scenery. To do so I used SBuilderX's Google maps background feature to draw polygons corresponding to the shape of the island in their correct geographical location.
I then wanted to export these polygons for edit in SBuilderFS9 using the import SBX function.
So far I have tried creating the SBX file with the polygons with no type, and with all of them being type 147 (Legacy_LWM_Land_NoFlatten) but either way I get the aforementioned error in SBuilder9 :/
Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? How (and I assume it's possible since there should be no reason as to why it's not) could I import these polygons to SBuilder9 if not through this method?

Thank you,

Leonardo
 
Hi Leo:

If you have not done so already, install SBuilderX version 3.15 and import the *.SBX project file from SBuilderX 3.14.

Then install SBX3TO2 which Luis created following a discussion of the need for such a utility during the SBX315 Beta:

"Tool to export SBX files created by SBuilderX 3.15 in a format that SBuilderX 2.05 can import. It can export back Maps, Lines, Polys, Objects And Excludes. The TYPE parameter of Lines and Polys is written as a null, otherwise SBX205 crashes when reads types used by SBX315. Also the parameter GUID of Lines and Polys is not exported. "

Let me know if this does not resolve the issue for your current project. :)

Hey Gary,

You're welcome! :)
Yea I posted this problem in the PTSim forums as well and Luis replied to me there with the same suggestion as you, which I also thanked for of course!
His contributions to the community are indeed spectacular and have been total game changers! And just to think that they came from a fellow countryman haha! :D
