• 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 have made exclusions using excbuilder and i generate the source code etc then i generate but no bgl just the xml. Then i just try to put the xml into bglcomp manualy nut no luck any suggestions?
 
Or tell us what kind of errors BGLComp throws at you, as there must be some when you don't get a BGL file.
 
ok here it what cmd throws at me but i cant be doing anything wrong because im using excbuilder which uses fsconnect to get lat long.

Hi,

Since these are eastern hemisphere longitudes you should reverse min/max coordinates. In fact this is what the compiler tells you. (And maybe get another program to do your excludes, if you do not want to do it by hand).

Hi,

Using excbuilder is very easy to create an ExclusionRectangle. Even the XML code is automatically created for you.

But you should mark the points in the right order: first NW and then SE.

In Fsim, click the spacebar and the airplane gets the north orientation. The first point is up-left and the second is down-right.

Please, try this way and recompile.

Best regards,

José
 
Hi,

Yes, José, I was wondering why we suddenly saw several post about ExcBuilder xmls that would not compile. You are probably right there.

Anyway RIDZ_YSSY this compiles:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

<ExclusionRectangle
	latitudeMinimum = "-33.9457013208432"
	latitudeMaximum = "-33.94513213000714"
	longitudeMinimum = "151.180550814209"
	longitudeMaximum = "151.1814449807807"
	excludeLibraryObjects = "TRUE"
/>


</FSData>

Note the quotes and the end tag "/"
