[ASOBO NEED HELP] White XML Scenery / Bug Broke the format and encoding of the file. windows(crlf) unix (Lf)

brokenxml.zipbrokenxml.pngAfter unexpectedly closing the simulator due to a laptop power outage. My file with a bunch of data has turned into a blank screen, but at the same time its data is visible, but with a different encoding that I don’t see in the simulator and I can’t recode, this is not the first case. but before I thought it was an accident, but now there are a huge number of months of work and the last backup was a long time ago and I can’t restore it. it was coded by the simulator itself.

help me and decode this or converting to correct.

Somehow, you have managed to include an XML file in your post that is all 0x00 bytes ????

Back on your PC, you seem to have been able to open the original xml file in Notepad, but it is showing in Unix format. I do not believe that Notepad can convert to Dos format, but Notepad++ can (Free).
I suggest you get a copy of Notepad++, open it, and then in Notepad++ you can select to covert it to DOS format, and then save it.

Your best bet might be to reach out to the creator of MSFSBGLXML over here msfsbglxml - convert MSFS (2020) BGL files to XML | FSDeveloper . I tried it but for you but it's showing some errors. Maybe they can help you if Asobo can't here.

Hello @MaxCloud13 ,

I'm afraid we can't make much more progress than all the users here since the bgl was compiled with some errors.
I suggest you to make backups of your files when you can or/and use a versioning tool.


Regards,
Boris
