There must be a simple answer, but I'm very confused. I'm working on improving CYOO and I'm trying to create an exclusion area around my airport. First I tried adding this line to the scenery.cfg:

Exclude=N43 55.59,W78 54.12,N43 55.08,W78 53.13,all

But this got rid of my airport Shocked

. Doesn't help.

So I tried to create a BGL file in FSSC, but it did nothing.

HOW DO I DO THIS? I want to exclude the default autogen and airport buildings.

Thanks SO much!

Is this for FS9 or FSX?

In FSX you need to use the BGL compiler in the SDK and feed it an XML exclude file.

Here's one I created to wipe out a default airport and the autogen stuff so that
my imported FS9 scenery and airport could live there:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData
   version="9.0"
   xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >
<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "N48:56:42.42"
latitudeMaximum = "N48:57:57.68"
longitudeMinimum = "E014:26:45.94"
longitudeMaximum = "E014:24:20.40"
excludeAllObjects = "TRUE"
excludeBeaconObjects = "TRUE"
excludeEffectObjects = "TRUE"
excludeGenericBuildingObjects = "TRUE"
excludeLibraryObjects = "TRUE"
excludeTaxiwaySignObjects = "TRUE"
excludeTriggerObjects = "TRUE"
excludeWindsockObjects = "TRUE"/>
</FSData>

For FS9 I use a utility called "ExcBuilder version 2.0 for FS2004" to create excludes.

Here's an excerpt from the readme file:

Publishing of this program is allowed only in sites listed below:
www.scenery.org
www.scenerydesign.org
www.avsim.com
www.fsnordic.net
www.fscentre.com
www.estscen.net

I'm not sure which of those sites I got it from but my guess would be avsim.
The executable is named: ExcBuilderV2.exe

Great, glad I could help.

If you need to do any flattens, there is another utility that also links directly to FS9
that makes generation of those BGL's a snap. It's called FSTflatten.
The readme DOC has the authors site listed: www.fs-traveler.com

I've used it often in FS9. Nice little interactive GUI.
