• 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.

Ive been working with Sbuilder and ive found the right default file to edit the water layout (VTP right, cause that shows me the water polygons...). Anyways, when i delete some default polygons and make new ones, when i select bgl compilation with them selected, "VTP lines" and "LWM Polygons" are checked, the rest (besides "Copy files to BGL folders" and "Start FS9") are uncheckable.
I cant seem to make a VTP bgl. any help? :confused: :confused: thanx!
 
Make sure you change the Polygon properties to VTP2 before you select them for compilation.

Polygon properties are None, LWM, VTP2, Exclude and Text !

If these properties are not set then you cant select it to compile.

Water polys are LWM ( Land-Water Mask ).

Editing and replacing the default BGLs is something to be done cautiously, as others that use your scenery could impair their FS9 version should they wish to delete your scenery.

Hey thanx, yeah ill add the default backups in the scenery as well, so that people can revert to the default if needs be. Question though: Is it supposed to be VTP2 or LWM? cause with LWM i put the settings equal to those water polygons which are default (same height, etc). And still wont compile. even when i select a big unedited area in the default file (HG148130.bgl), Without my modifications, it still wont compile :confused: ! Do i need to put BGLcomp.exe somewhere perhaps? And in the VTP2 options for the polygon, what should u choose? Thanx for the help! :)

---edit----
i found out how to make the .scm files bgl's, got that fixed...off to the next problem :( .....
