Hi,im trying to figure out how to use .bgl and scenery in fsx.Can someone please help this newbie and say what a .bgl is, in plain terms, and how it works and how I can use the fs92fsx converter to use these addon scenery components.When I try to put a .bgl file into a directory under ...addon scenerysceneryxxx.bgl there is no file to add to fsx in the window? Essentially, help me.

When you want to add scenery to FSX, or FS9 (they work the same way), just create a folder for your scenery in your fsx/addon scenery folder. Give it whatever name you like. Within that folder, make a folder called "Scenery". If the scenery you're trying to install comes with textures, then create a "Texture" folder next to the scenery one. Put all your BGL files into your new fsx/addon scenery/XXXX/Scenery folder, and any BMP/DDS files into the Texture folder adjacent to it.Start fsx, go to your settings/scenery library section. Click add scenery area, navigate to the folder you named in your addon scenery folder, so that you can see the "Scenery" subfolder in the window. You'll see the "Okay" button become available, and click it. If you go one step further down into the Scenery subfolder it won't work. FSX automatically figures it out from there. It will not display the BGL file names to you, it just adds every BGL in the scenery subfolder in your database. You may have to wait a minute while the new scenery library is compiled, and then you're ready to fly.A BGL file contains all the vertex, polygon, and material data for a specific scenery. It can also be a file that points to other scenery already in your database, but puts it at a new location.Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't BGL stand for "Bruce artwick Graphics Language" or is that the simulation equivalent of an urban legend? :)Hope that helps.

>Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't BGL stand for>"Bruce artwick Graphics Language" or is that the simulation>equivalent of an urban legend? :)>I have heard that before, but I kind of think that is an urban legend. I have long thought "BGL" to mean "binary graphics library", which is in fact what a .bgl file is.I think there was a thread here a long time ago about this, or it was discussed somewhere one time.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2530 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian
