• 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 Scenery GenX error with Windows 7

Running GenX Build 61 with Windows 7 on a new computer I am opening a scenery made on my older computer (with Vista, and the same Build 61) and it opens fine. When compiling to check that GenX is running ok I get the error message "BGL compression error: Errors in Generated XML Code". Opening the XML code to read the compiler messages I get "Internal compiler error: Failed to create MSXML object (0x80040154)" and below "ERROR C2470: Unrecoverable error parsing XML! ERROR C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005) ERROR C2003: Failed to process file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft etc etc".

Any ideas? Probably it is nothing to do with Windows 7 and is something basic, like having bglcomp set up wrongly, though as far as I can see my setup is identical in both computers.
 
The MS Bgl Compiler requires MSXML 4 to work -it seems that is not installed or the program cannot find it.

Secret Error

I have now got around to making a new scenery on my new laptop with SceneryGenX and Windows 7. As a first step I made a flatten. GenX works perfectly, and compiles and tells me that it has placed the bgl and API bgl in FS9/addon scenery/scenery, as normal, plus another folder that I specified. Except that when I look in both places they are not there, in either place! At least, not there called by the name it says it used. When I go back to FS9 I find that they MUST be there in addon scenery/scenery as the flatten has taken effect!?! I confirm this by altering the height of the flatten and then checking it in FS9. My flabber is gasted, which is a painful condition. Any ideas?
 
They are probably in "limbo", since you may not have permission to create files in that scenery folder. They are probably being kept in a special folder within your Username folder. I don't remember what it's called, and it's probably hidden.

You can try editing the Properties of your SGX shortcut (or the program icon itself) and check Run As Administrator.
