• 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 VDGS Tweaker not working

Hi everyone. I'm trying to add some safegates to my FSX airports but I can't for the life of me get VDGS Tweaker to work. I created the mdl with a heading of 34, then used MCX to place the model with the same heading, but the model appears freezed in the "WAIT" state in FSX, with some weird Z-Fighting of the textures as can be seen in the attached picture. I tried using an xml placing file and compiling with BGLComp as well to no avail. I noticed BGLComp was complaining that the mdl was not in FSX format, so I also tried exporting it to FSX mdl format with MCX before placing the model in the airport. Still the same thing. I know there must be a way because I have a couple safegates working in a freeware airport that used VDGS Tweaker to generate them, pretty sure that's the case because it looks the same, uses the same textures and when I import the bgl into MCX it displays the same condition variables.
I also noticed when I import my generated bgl containing the safegate model and the placement back in MCX, the heading is not exactly 34 but 33.997. Tried fixing that but again, did nothing to fix the problem. I'm running out of ideas here. Any suggestions on what could I try, please?

Nevermind. All I needed to do was to use FS2004's BGLComp instead of FSX's to generate the placement files. It's working now
