• 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.

Hi!

I'm working on an new method to creat an airport! I have written a converter from Shapefiles( Dbasefile) , it's a vector format(the airports are in this format), to the XML form! But now I have a problem with the completed bgl-file! It won't work in the FS04! There are attributes which must be in the xml file?


Thx for help!

Have you read the BGLComp SDK? This document describes the structure of the XML file.

I don't know which elements you are trying to place, but in theory if you place the apron command inside the airport command that should be enough to get your aprons showing.
 
Hi!

Yes I have read the SDK and I think there are no problems with the XML code, at least there are no errors by the compiler! I have placed the runway command inside the airport command , which must be enough!? I think so ! Is it sufficient to copy the BGL file in the path C:\...\FS09\Addon Scenery\scenery to get the file showing in fs?
 
Yes, placing the BGL file in an active scenery folder is enough to get it showing into FS. You might also want to check if you have entered all coordinates correct, only small minus might place your scenery on the other end of the world :).
 
ok, now the problem is located! I must only search, for example EDDF, under the default scenerys and not under addon/scenery. The old Microsoft file will be overwrite and your created file is able to used.
 
Normally you do not have to overwrite any file. As long as your BGL file containing the airport is at a higher priority then other files containing the airport as well (for example the default scenery or files made with AFCAD2, SceneGenX) your file should show.
