• 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.

FSX TMFViewer with custom scenery?

Hello all,

while struggling with assigning landclasses in ADE9X, which then in FSX look like what I assigned (see other thread), I came across the advice to check with TMFViewer (from the FSX SDK) which landclasses FSX actually sees in my scenery.

But somehow (and the SDK "documentation" being what it is...), I seem not to use the tool correctly:

I can load e.g. the default worldlc.bgl, and do then see the respective LC names displayed in the status bar.
But they are not in any way marked in the map part (it is all blank unless I load some terrain BGL); and right-click > "Highlight current value" has no visible effect.

And if I load the terrain BGL (*_CVX.bgl) from my scenery, it is accepted, and I can see the terrain polygons, but the status bar does not give any LC information, and the "Highlight etc." option is unavailable (greyed out).

Surely (from what I read here) the tool cannot deal with LCs only in the default scenery?
So, what am I overlooking? (I'm sure it's embarrassingly simple... :cool:)

Thanks for all tips!

Cheers,
Martin
