XREF buildings does not show up

Hi,

I've watched the tutorial videos multiple times, but are at loss why my xref buildings does not show up. As a test I got two dummy object in a group. IF I mistype the property name, I get two black boxes, but if I do it correctly, nothing shows up:

In my TSC I got

<[list_tmsimulator_scenery_object][objects][]

<[tmsimulator_scenery_object][element][0]

<[string8][type][ground]>

<[string8][geometry][avalon_rwy]>

<[vector3_float64][position][144.4682 -38.03934 0]>

<[float64][orientation][0]>

<[int32][autoheight_override][-1]>

>

<[tmsimulator_scenery_object][element][1]

<[string8][type][object]>

<[string8][geometry][avalon_obj]>

<[tmvector3d][position][144.4682 -38.03934 0]>

>

>

I got my avalon_rwy.tgi and avalon_obj.tgi in the conversion folder and it does not seem to have an issue with the conversion.

Any suggestions of what might be going wrong?

Hi coffeecup1978.

You must create your own xref folder for your specific location.

See thread: xref

regards

Pawel

Doh! Seems obvious now... Thanks for the heads up zirael !

While the buildings now show up, they don't get offset from my center point... Which is strange as the black boxes showed up where I was expecting them, but the xref buildings get planted at the coordinate in the TCS file.. Any suggestions?

Meh.. I deleted them, and recreated them, and they seem to have appeared correctly..
