• 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.

.TXT to .BGL

you don't Perhaps some more information?
 
Sorry - what version of the sim are you talking about? For FS9 and later we create xml source which is compiled to a bgl file.

Or are you talking about a file extension. Please tell me how you did this with your old PC

My old pc I could create a txt file and change the .txt to .bgl and it would change. My new pc doesn't do that.

Were you creating AI flight plans using Traffic Tools or AIFPC? If not, just what were you doing by using this 'procedure'?
 
I really like the idea of creating a *.TXT file, changing the file extension to *.BGL, and having it turn into a functioning BGL for FS; (...just add water ? :laughing:).

Notepad does not support characters used in .bgl format. The .bgl format supports ascii characters used in Notepad, that is why you can glean some information about a given .bgl file, it's compiler, for example, using Notepad and some .bgl files are mostly ascii characters, but there are symbols, or glyphs, that are unique to the format, that are necessary to make a file a .bgl.
There are some compiler "helpers," that will take a text file that has been formatted in a way to indicate what the special .bgl characters are supposed to be, as was implied in the case of traffic files and the helper app will process the text file through the compiler, to get a working .bgl.
