• 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 success, many questions

After finally getting the proper SDK up and running with other basic tools I tried my first experiment with FSX_KML. I thought I'd start with a simple airport project between Fulton, Ark. and Hope, Ark. I followed the tutorial, created a poly to flatten the airport area and got some amuzing but incorrect results. I wound up with a mesa about 360ft high covering about 2 sq miles. It got rid of the trees, but affected the scenery as far away as Texarkana (leaving only a vague strip at KTXK), also removing the traffic there. I turned off the add-on scenery to get thing back to normal. Question 1: Will just removing the BGL from that add-on folder let me start over? Question 2: What is the significance of the other files created and deposited in the temporary folder I created (.shp .shx .dbf .xml) Question 3: If they are not needed, why are they there? Just for the "build?" Should I set up something else as my "output folder?" Obviously I'm new to this. It took me months to get this far, but I intend to learn--with help. I'm only just now beginning to grok some of the terminology. Thanks.
