Re: BGL Compiler Doesn't Compile, just flashes!

I see yesterday I couldn't spell "folder" properly... Need stronger coffee in the morning! :roll: When you start a New Project SBuilderX defaults to a BGL file creation location. With an existing Project you are able to change the BGL Folder using File | Properties and then entering a new location. ...

Re: BGL Compiler Doesn't Compile, just flashes!

Is it maybe that my S Builder X is in my D:\ Drive? My rough guess, so early in the morning, is that by having FSX in the C:\Program File (x86)\Microsoft Games fokder is that you are running into a permissions problem and the SDKs are not able to access the folders to place a new file. The Windows ...

Re: BGL Compiler Doesn't Compile, just flashes!

Why are you reinstalling FSX and the SDKs, if you don't know what the problem is?

What level is your FSX install at, SP2 or FSXA? Have you updated the SDKs to match the status of your FSX?

What is your operating system and where are FSX and the SDKs installed?

Re: Automating photoscenery compilation

I was moving at the time of the OP! :mrgreen: To automate a process like compiling photo scenery all you need to do is make a batch file. Using something like Notepad or similar that creates plain text files you enter stuff like this; Resample Oahu_A.inf Resample Oahu_B.inf Resample Oahu_C.inf Where...

Re: Overlapping 'photos'

Yes, the files are "probably" bigger than they need to be. No, the Resample compiler is not a "smart tool". It only takes what you feed in and makes files from that.

Re: Windows 7 Problem

There is nothing different with the scenery files, where we have to target compiling to a particular OS. I don't have Win 7, as I'm still on XP, but will be making a switch before the end of the year. Does FSX without your work activated look and perform as it should? Have you made any changes to th...

Sorry, hero. No help for you here.

Anyone dumb enough to use the same user name and avatar as used at a pirate site doesn't deserve any help. Possibly you can find some one at Silverwingz.net to assist you?

Re: compile bgl from bmp and txt

If the area is large and you are having to do it in a grid manner you can work in a systematic manner and end up with a single BGL, eventually. Cover an area in SBX, compile the file to a BGL then go and rename the BMP file and the Photo01.INF file to something workable. Repeat as many times as nece...

Re: No land on map after exclusions

You need to remember that photo scenery to FSX is just a set of textures, not specified land mass. When you remove (exclude) the default land there is nothing there to replace it, unless you make it. Photo scenery will almost always be more precise than default, so you can end up with default showin...

Re: copy and paste sbuilderx 3:13

You're almost there, just need to remember that for what you want to copy you need to be in that mode. So if you want to copy a polygon click the polygon button up on the toolbar, highlight the poly to be copied, use the menu Edit|Copy, then Edit|Paste. You'll notice the curson tip will change to co...

Re: Zoom level v m/p

Greets George, Resample generates Zoom=17 from Google (and others) at .59m resolution. In a truly non-scientific manner I made a BGL from one tile from Google at Zoom=17, which is a 256x256 image. I then took the measure tool in SBX and went from TLC to TRC and it showed 119.14m. While the measureme...
