Tree removal ?

Postby gypsymoth » Fri Feb 19, 2010 11:46 am

I'm building a WW2 airfield (Ibsely, a busy RAF & USAAF Fighter airfield) that used to exist about 5 miles from me, on the edge of the New Forset, here in the UK.  I'm copying an operation ground plan I found but in FS9 I have some tree that obstruct the perimiter road/taxiways & I'd like to know if there's a tool I can obtain & use to get rid of them?   I've just got Flight1's Instant Scenery tool & have placed a control tower in the right location  ::) & have just spotted a delete/move button & wondered if I can do this with FS scenery?   
Thanks.

A simple utility named Excbuilder removes default objects.

This link - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DL ... CatID=root

will show you the program, a tutorial for the program, and an update for the tutorial (and a fourth file that you don't need).

Highly recommended.

cheers,
Joe

Will EscBuilder work with FSX? Tutorial only refers to FS2004.
Thanks.

There is a version of Exclude Builder for FSX. You'll find the link in the first post here:
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4374

Though there is no help file, it works the same as ExcBuilder with the added feature that you can create multiple exclusion before compiling.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

I am trying to use ExcBuilderv2 with FSX.
I have FSConnect300 installed in modules folder.
I have MSXML4 installed
bglcom.exe, bglcomp.xsd, compile.bat are in the same folder with ExcBuilder

First problem is setting the coordinates for the exclusion rectangle using FSC. I get an error message that there is a problem communicating with FSConnect.
If I manually enter the coordinates and Generate source code and .bgl, when i run the compile.bat I get the following error messages:

ERROR c2034: XML parse fatal error (line, column, error)
ERROR: 7, 31, Illegal xml chatacter
ERROR C2470: unrecoverable error parsing xml!
ERROR C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)
Error C2003: failed to process file

Here is the xml file:


   version = "9.0"
   xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >
           latitudeMinimum = "N16

Remove the 'degree mark', it's not recognized. Also the 'minute mark' is not necessary.

When entering in the degree-decimal minute format just leave a space between degree and minutes.

latitudeMinimum = "N16 55.02"

Thanks Dave,

Any thoughts ob why FSConnect is not connecting FSX with EXCBuilder? The .dll file is in the module folder.
