• 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.

Hi folks,
I've found this great tool in the web and tried to do some first steps in creating sceneries. But I have a big problem. First, this is what my polygon (water) looks like in Google Earth:
372googleearthpoly.jpg

When loaded in FSX KML:
220fsxkmltest.jpg

And after compiling:
240fsxkmlcomp.jpg

But my polygon doesn't exist in FSX :( :
581fsxkmltest2.jpg

Can you help me, please? What am I doing wrong?
 
Matthew hasn't posted on these forums in almost a year, so it's not likely you will get a reply from him.

Most designers are using SBuilderX or use shp files directly to produce scenery. And Google has changed it's KML format slightly, that may render some tools defective in translating KML to a SHP.

With all that written, you seem to get a BGL, so why not attach it to a post, and others can test it in their sim.

When viewed with TMFViewer from the SDK, the BGL poly is defective... showing just a longitudinal line.

I'm just guessing, but I think FSX_KML is not compatible with the latest version of Google Earth. The Google website did allow a download of an archived version that should work, or perhaps you have an earlier version yourself... just a guess.

Thanks for version 5.1
I was having problems with FSX_KML and installing the old version fixed the problems.
Guess I will need to stay away from Google upgrades.
:D
