Need help in FS Architect

[Guest viking]

Have just board FS Architect 4.1. Have a little experience in other "light" scenery design programs, but have already problems in FS architect, then I want compile a runway to FS2004. The errors are as following:Parsing document: c:fs2004sceneryfalster2sceneryfalster2004.xmlERROR C2033: XML Parse Error (line, column, error)ERROR: 23, 1, Element content is invalid according to the DTD/Schema.Expecting: Airport, Marker, Waypoint, Boundary, Vor, Ndb, SceneryObject, ModelData, Geopol, ExclusionRectangle.ERROR C2313: Runway MUST be nested inside a Unknown!ERROR C2031: Failed element parse ERROR C2032: XML Parse Error!

There are obviously some errors, but the only 2 things I have tried to compile from the above, is a runway and a texture around it.Best regardsHenrik, Denmark

Hi Henrik,You can not have only a runway in your XML file, it must be part of an Airport command as well. As I assume that FsArchitect has made the XML file for you, something must have gone wrong there :). I am not a FsArchitect user myself, but have you setup an airport as well (probably need to provide an ICAO name etc)?

Thanks for your reply, Arno!I have found the error. It was something with the coordinates. Maybe I haven't typed it right in, or I had deleted an ", then I wrote the coordinates.I found an tutorial, and compared it with my own scenery, and da-da, it helped me :-)Best regardsHenrik

Hi Henrik.I keep getting that problem with FS Architect, i'm still trying to find my way around those errors.I have tried searching the net for tutorials, but i can't find anything.The manual and starter tutorial are really appalling.

Does your XML file include the Airport coding, e.g.?80.75" alt = "3.901440058136" magvar = "3.3" ident = "KXXX"> 80.759499999897" alt = "60.96"/> 80.749999833333" alt = "3.901440058136" surface = "CONCRETE" heading = "180.0" length = "3048.0" width = "76.0" number = "18" designator = "NONE" patternAltitude = "243.84" primaryTakeoff = "FALSE" primaryLanding = "FALSE" primaryPattern = "LEFT" secondaryTakeoff = "FALSE" secondaryLanding = "FALSE" secondaryPattern = "LEFT"> http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...wnloads_sdk.asp , download the BGL COMP SDK. The readme will show you the nesting required. I would think Architect would automatically add the airport lines. It may be you haven't defined the airport location within Architect.W. Sieffert
