Nice, was the package for MSFS released? The latest I read was that Henrik is still working on the conversion. 

[supersym 53]

no released, just adapted... but still always beautiful ! 

Thanks Henrik 🙂

Merci. I get most of it, just a bit shy of what is meant by creating the build.py. Does it mean to copy the sample content on the other linked page into a blank text file and later run this through python? I'll give it a try. 

[supersym 53]

this is that !

You have to install python and double click on build.py 😉

Followed the steps. Now testing. The flightsimulator.cfg was at C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache in my case. 

If it works I will summarize the steps in English after dinner.

It seems to work. Here is what I did:

Make a file named build.py with the following content as shown here: http://www.pilote-virtuel.com/viewtopic.php?id=94919

import os
import json
import sys


def check_prerequisites():
    if sys.version_info[0] < 3 or sys.version_info[1] < 6:
        raise Exception("Must be using Python 3.6 or later")


def build_layout(project_dir):
    layout_entries = []
    for root, _, files in os.walk(project_dir):
        for filename in files:
            filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)

            if not filepath.endswith(".json") and not filepath.endswith(".py"):
                rel_dir = os.path.relpath(root)
                rel_file = str(os.path.join(rel_dir, filename))
                if rel_file[0] == '.':
                    rel_file = rel_file[2:]

                print(" -- Processing " + rel_file)
                entry = {}
                entry["path"] = rel_file.replace('\\', '/')
                entry["size"] = os.path.getsize(filepath)
                entry["date"] = "132402817714110148"
                layout_entries.append(entry)

    layout_entries.sort(key=lambda e: e["path"])

    return layout_entries


if __name__ == "__main__":
    check_prerequisites()

    cwd = os.getcwd()

    layout_content = build_layout(cwd)


    layout_json = {
        "content": layout_content

    }

    with open("layout.json", "w") as outfile:
        json.dump(layout_json, outfile, indent=4)

 

Make a folder named "KL-traffic-ships". In this folder create a folder "scenery" Copy all bgl files from Henrik's package into this folder. 

Drop your buid.py file into the "Kl-traffic-ships" folder and run it (Python 3.6 or higher required). This creates your layout.json file. You can then delete build.py.

Then add to your "KL-traffic-ships" folder a file "manifest,json" and a folder named "ContentInfo". You can take those from any other scenery package you have.

Create another folder "Simobjects" in "KL-traffic-ships" and in this folder "Simobjects" create a folder "boats". Copy all boat files from Henrik's package into this "boat" folder.

Move the whole "KL-traffic-ships" folder into your Community folder. 

Open flightsimulator.cfg (usually to be found at (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache) and add the link to your "KL-traffic-ships\Simobjects\boats" in the Main section beneath the other simobjects. 

Let us know if it works. All credit goes to FlyingV at pilote-virtuel and of course to Henrik for his amazing package.
