Hi,The maximum size of a BGL file to be loaded correctly by FsX is 2 GB. But I never had an error on that during compilation, I have had 6 GB files being produced, which simply did not show in FsX at all.My first guess would be that you might have hit a limit with the number of sources in one INF file. Have you try to compile with less images in the INF file?

i will try thatmy guess would be a binary limit such as 256/512the biggest i have ever tried before is 227.so would you think 256 or 512 should do.in related news...i can generate a list of filesthrough dir >> file.txtis their a way to have it output 255 files at a time, or any other number. so make a list of all the files, but split the list up in to pieces 255 files long?ps...how do i become an mvp, or beta tester.i would love to apply

i did it with 255 and it is workingand i created a macro so i copy 255 lines of dataand in word, click the macro button, and it pastes it from excel as tabbed data, and then it makes each one its own line.awesome!edit...255 seems to work well

another detail....i have created macros in excel and dosso all i have to do is download, run a dos command paste result into a column in excel, then run 20 or so macros, and after running each macro tabbing over to word, running its macro then to notepad to paste, edit one line by hand and save as .inf

What is the total size of the files? both in the case that worked and the case that didnt?

[Guest liberalgeek]

well...thank you phil taylori got it to work.i think there is a limit to the number of files in an inf file. i have found that 255 works.do not want to try 512, because that would require a major rewrite of my macros!usually i would charge a bogolight donation to share them, but for you...the almighty fs scenery genius/msfsmvp/aces studies guy...freei will pm you with the macros, they are cool!alright....the file sizeinf version 1 had 526 files worth 1.47gbinf file was 65.3 kbwhen i split it up into 25525516it workedthey were 31.4 kb31.4 kb2.08 kbthe resulting bgls for the successful compilation was156mb 156mb and 8.62 mbthanks-bendo you want me to pm you or email you?if you want to see my awesome macro goodness...email me at x@y.zwhere x is liberalgeeky is gmailz is com
