Hi, here's my input file, which compiles, but gives an error in MSFS2020 when loading it:

The error is:

syntax error on line 47 of aybb-aytr.loc:

When I edited the line

location=S5°16'6.55",E142°5'48.27"

location=-5.267888,142.094378, the problem was solved.

Best thing is if you send me a pm link to your files (put in DropBox or Google Drive) and can have a look at them and try them out. BR, f99mlu

A BIIIIIIG thank you to everyone who has contacted me in the recent months regarding anything! I love to help you out with support issues and of course also receiving new ideas to improve BushMissionGen. And! Thank you to all of you who donated and/or sent me a copy of your creation!! I love this community and how kind you all are. Best regards, f99mlu

There are some simple improvements that will help:

when stating there's a duplicate attribute, how about showing the line where the error is detectyed, or even the line?
My screen gets messed up after a while. Maximizing the window helps, but only temporarily.
A sample mission compiles and becomes visible, but my own mission used to work, now compiles correctly, but does not show up in custom missions anymore. This is even when choosing to overwrite.

f99mlu 2 day(s) ago

It is sadly a big rewrite of the logic in the code to handle that debugging scenario with pointing out specific rows.

If you want me to have a look at your BMG input file, then please paste a Dropbox/GoogleDrive link to it in a pm.

Do you get "Provided project definition file doesn't exist" when compiling? Then make sure you have no spaces in the complete path to your project.

Example:

C:\my projects\landing-challenge-frankfurt\output\lch-frankfurt-hard

The space in "my projects" will break it.. remove the space(s) and it should work.

just started using your fantastic program and within two days of never ever doing anything like this posted four challenges for others to try but unfortunately I have had to do a harddrive swop and now since upgrading to latest version I keep getting an error every time I try to compile its says the package file doesn't exist here's a screen shot any help would be greatly appreciated

provided project definition file does not exist

Hi MrScuba1959! Thanks for using BushMissionGen and for liking it 😊. Sorry to hear about your build problems. It is hard to know exactly what is going wrong here.. hmmm.. A couple of things to check:

Did you try re-installing the SDK?
Did you use any kind of fspackageutil.exe patch? If so, avoid that at any cost.
Did you use the latest version of BushMissionGen?
Did you try to rename the output folder and do a new Generate + Compile in BushMissionGen? In case you compiled an old project and there were some locked/strange fles in the output folder.
Did you compile while the sim was running? If so, exit the sim and try again.

MrScuba1959 3 month(s) ago

ok ill try re installing the sdk many thanks for a quick repl - Paul x

MrScuba1959 3 month(s) ago

sorry to be a nuisance but I just cant seem to get this to compile a package , is there any way I can get the previous version just so I can maybe back track and work out what's gone wrong. Its a shame because I was on a roll and so excited with using your program- Paul x

Use non modded SDK with latest BMG! No more fspackagetool patching should be needed.

Hi I constantly get

Provided project definitian fie does not exist---using the latest version. does not compile at all...really incredible in older versions all went well. can you tell me how to fix this?

f99mlu 4 month(s) ago

This must be some local problem on only your computer. Works well for many users. Let us talk about this in pm. I wil contact you there! BR, f99mlu

FOLLOW UP: Yes, this was a local problem with the computer. A re-installation of Windows made it all work again.

Hi, thanks for the very nice tool! I am struggling with the sdkpath:

Escaping the colon (as it is about java properties?) is done like that:

C\:\<rest of the path>?

Because even doing that, I get the "Compiler not found on any drive"-error.

I have installed the SDK in this path:

C:\Data\Tools\FS_SDKs\MSFS2020SDK\MSFS2020_SDK_0.17\Tools\bin

And this is my full row in the inputfile:

sdkPath=C\:\Data\Tools\FS_SDKs\MSFS2020SDK\MSFS2020_SDK_0.17\Tools\bin\fspackagetool.exe

f99mlu 4 month(s) ago

Hi flightzoomer! Try without any escaping (since it is my own format 😊 ). BR, f99mlu

Short but disappointing answer: there is no support for intro speeches (texts or WAV) for landing challenges.

I am having an issue playing text to speech or .wav files. Can some one point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hi mscarcia! Please contact me in pm and send over your input file. Also mention which version of BushMissionGen you are using. BR, f99ml

UPDATE: After looking at your input file...

Short but disappointing answer: there is no support for intro speeches (texts or WAV) for landing challenges.

I was able to create one landing challenge, however, for the next 3 I created, I get an error when I try to start the challenge in MSFS that says "You have left the activity area". How can fix this error?

f99mlu 5 month(s) ago

Hi baltos! Try setting the fields "latitude=", "longitude=" and "altitude=" to the same values as you first waypoint (CUST0).

Example:

latitude=55°24'33.9"N

longitude=13°01'35.1"E

altitude=+300.00

||CUST0|U|55°24'33.9"N 13°01'35.1"E|+000300.00

baltos 5 month(s) ago

Hello! Thanks for the quick response! My latitude and longitude fields are correct. I'm wondering whether my starting waypoint is too far from my destination airport. Does that make any difference?

f99mlu 5 month(s) ago

Hi! Yes there is a maximum distance (10 nm for bush planes, 15 nm for airliners). This can be overridden with the "maxDistanceToRunway=" field.

Example:

maxDistanceToRunway=12

baltos 5 month(s) ago

Hi f99mlu, I'm sorry for replying so late. I did figure out about the 10nm distance and was able to create more landing challenges. I didn't know about the "maxDistanceToRunway=" field. I'll try to play with that and will let you know how that works for me. Thanks again!

Re the 0 deg West bug, haven't tested the Landmarks yet but the CUST waypoints work OK.

However the line longitude=-0.5446978500703888

in the text file unfortunately generates

Longitude=E0° 32' 40.91"

in the FLT file rather than W0° 32' 40.91" 😞

Is custom audio supported for this program?

f99mlu 6 month(s) ago

Hi azgoodaz! I am not sure what you mean with "custom audio"? BMG supports either WAV files or using TTS.

Will check out the POI fix on next mission...meanwhile it seems the latest version doesn't generate the UseWeatherFile=True statement in the .FLT file for Landing Challenges - to get local weather files to be used I'm having to edit the .FLT file directly, which I didn't use to have to do?

f99mlu 6 month(s) ago

Hi keithb77! I cannot see that anything was changed regarding the weather settings in the last version.. hmmm. Omitting the "weather=" field or keeping it empty should make use of the "UseWeatherFile=True" setting.

Found a bug generating POIs in a Discovery flight where decimal West co-ordinates of less than one degree are used, the generated XML shifts the POI to the East

eg these three coordinates are for the same point in different notation

landmarkObject=text:"Pb1 - Point b1 " coordinate:N52° 0.0',W0° 30.0', altitude:450 offset:0 type😋OI

landmarkObject=text:"Pb2 - Point b2 " coordinate:N52° 0' 0.0",W0° 30' 0.0", altitude:450 offset:0 type😋OI

landmarkObject=text:"Pb4 - Point b4 " coordinate:52.0,-0.5, altitude:450 offset:0 type😋OI

but generate a positive longitude (ie East)

f99mlu 6 month(s) ago

Thanks! I will have a look at this very soon and verify my code.

UPDATE: Please try the new BMG version (v3.13) where I have added a fix. I hope it works fine now 😊.

Tool worked fine for a couple of tries then stopped working now and says it cannot find the project definition files. No packages is rendered.

The discord link you provided has run out, btw...

f99mlu 6 month(s) ago

Hi darshonaut! I have updated the Discord link now. Thanks for reporting that!

When it comes to your build problems, I think I need to see your BMG input file. Please contact me in a private message here on flightsim.to or on the FSB Discord. Thanks!

When I try and Compile a landing challenge it says "Compiler not found on any drive. Please install the SDK in the root folder of a drive." what is the SDK that I need to install?

f99mlu 6 month(s) ago

Hi XM9G! First of all you need to start up the sim and enable the Development Mode in the General options. Then you see a menu bar at the top with a Help menu. Look inside the menu to see the installer download link.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year dear BMG users!! Another lovely but challenging FS2020 year has passed with all those SUs messing up bush trips and a lot of other things. But we also got a lot of fixes and optimizations too. All in all, I think we can be quite happy 😊.

Roadmap
These items are currently on the list and will be processed soon!

Backlog
Suggestion, bugs and ideas for the future.

Version 4.08 June 30, 2022

- Added the field "mainLanguage=" to be able to set the project´s main language (default = en-US).
- Encoding fix for the HTML preview file.
- Simplified handling of comments for LNMPLN files. Leg texts are no longer read out, only subleg texts.
Version 4.07 May 29, 2022

Blocks! A new way of adding big chunks of configurations to the FLT file. Right now there are four different blocks to use:

MAIN_ADDITIONS adds data to the [Main] section.
AVIONICS adds an [AVIONICS] section.
ATC_AIRCRAFT replaces the [ATC_Aircraft.0] section.
PLANE_SPECIFICS replaces all plane specific sections like [Engine Parameters.X.0], [FuelSystem.X], [Gauges.X], etc.

See the manual for examples!
Version 4.06 May 27, 2022

- Added the field "objectFile=" to be able to add several object files to a landing challenge.
[objectFile=file:{file} coordinate:{coordinate} altitude:{altitude} pitch:{pitch} bank:{bank} heading:{heading}]
- Added the field "pVelBodyAxis=" to set the pitch axis velocity.
- Added the field "bVelBodyAxis=" to set the bank axis velocity.
- Added the field "hVelBodyAxis=" to set the heading axis velocity.
- Added the field "xVelBodyAxis=" to set the x axis velocity.
- Added the field "yVelBodyAxis=" to set the y axis velocity.
- Added the field "zVelBodyAxis=" to set the z axis velocity (same as "velocity=").
Version 4.05 May 21, 2022

- Some improvements to the sound and image library functionality
- Added sound and image library settings to the Settings dialog.
Version 4.04 May 17, 2022

- Added support for more coordinate formats.
- Added format help to error dialogs.
- Added Google Earth marker to indicate spawn point for bush missions.
- Fix for finishedEntry fields.
- Runway designator fix for PLN files.
Version 4.03 May 12, 2022

- The fspackagetool patch is no longer needed. Make sure to use a fresh install of the SDK if you previously used the patched version.
