when using photoimages taken with sbuilderx the files dont show up in the anotator the autogen editor in sdk, i worked out you need to move the default xml into the folder for autogen and that you need to rename the files su or they must contain su but if i put the sbk file back into sbuilderx to do a exclude or anything else it doesnt know the file has been renamed, i tried renaming the notepad files that have the long name sorry i dont know half the tech terms, it still doesnt see the file, i just took the long number file and placed an su before the .bgl, hope this is understandable.

worked it out, annotator instruction say to load bmp, i loaded bgl and placed the vegatation onto that, another step forward

Hi,Yes, for FSX you should not have any BMP files for use in FS. The texture information is included in the BGL file. That BGL has to be loaded into Annotator as well.
