• 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.

Some questions about Flight Simulator X SDK

Hello!

I'm a guy from Sweden I have some
questions about Flight Simulator X SDK
I tried to use the example in Modeling SDK.
But when I try to convert the TestX.x file
to a mdl file with XToMdl.exe I get the
following error message no granularity
specified and I don't know what that mean ?
And the output mdl file I get contains no
data 0 bytes.

I have also tried to exclude an area in
Flight Simulator X with the following
xml code but it's not working. The trees
are still there and also all other objects
nothing disappears ? But the code working
fine when I run it in BglComp.exe it
creates a bgl file but the bgl file don't
exclude any objects.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns: xsi='http://www.w3.org
/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchema
Location="bglcomp.xsd">

<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "N59 14.90"
latitudeMaximum = "N59 15.10"
longitudeMinimum = "E14 8.50"
longitudeMaximum = "E14 9.50"
excludeAllObjects = "TRUE"/>

</FSData>

So I would be glad if someone can help me with this ?
 
Hi,

First I moved your post to the scenery design section, as it seemed more scenery related than aircraft related.

The XtoMDL tool is a bit hard to use from the command prompt, things will become easier once we have a new GMax gamepack to just export our stuff. You might be able to compile when you add some command line options, check the readme for them (can't remember the exact synthax now).

About the exclude question, XML excludes should still work.
 
On first glance the SDK says that it will accept decimal degrees or degrees minutes and seconds for the co-ordinates - you have degrees and decimal minutes.
