HI GUYS, if i builded something ,and how do i make sure to put the thing where i put? what information do i need ?

When I resample my photo image it takes forever and files with long numbers accumalate on my hard drive and I loose gigs of hard drive space. The resampling never stops and I must force it to stop.

Hi everyone! First off, let me say thanks. I've been lurking here for some time and the wealth of knowledge you guys have 'put to paper' has made my tweaking a lot easier and improved my sim experience immensely. :)So in that spirit, I've undertaken remodeling of a true gem of a little bush strip that FS has all wrong. I've made good progress using various tools, most notably the awesome SBuilder. I have a couple of questions about what's possible with the latest of these proggies like LVM2Viewer and SBuilder (since sometimes the documentation is a bit sparse). I've done extensive searches here and at arno's site, but want to get the latest dope. So:1. I've made a…

I dunno where to post scenery project announcements, so I thought I'd post one here. Forgive me if I posted it in the wrong spot.Production is wrapping up on a huge freeware scenery release from SAR Scenery Design and Repaint Studios.There will be five scenery packages. Two of those will be rereleases of my previous work with new techniques and new scenery objects.Tacoma Narrows Bridge replacement:This scenery package replaces the default Tacoma Narrows Bridge object in Flight Simulator with a gMax-created replacement that's as accurate as the real bridge itself. Based off of structural drawings and hundreds of photos, the new bridge has everything the real one does, righ…

Hi all,Vista Australis is a freeware community project which will replace textures and autogen (as a start) for the Australian Summer; something which is not accurately depicted in the sim currently.Visit the website for more info and screenshots. Here's an example:http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/koo...ralis/GSL10.jpghttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/koo...ralis/GSL11.jpghttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/koo...ralis/GSL12.jpghttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/koo...ralis/GSL13.jpg

When I put in an XML and I get an error I don't have time to reaad the error because bglcomp opens and closes really quiickly, is there a way to stop it closing so I can read the error?thanksPatrick

I've been building some VTP photo terrain using Sbuilder for use as airport backgrounds, and a couple ofther areas. I'm wondering if anyone has advice or example of how to make up a lightmap for this. A typical area would be maybe 3x4 LOD13s. I was thinking of maybe taking some default landclass lightmaps and blending those into my photo. For my immediate project 033b2lm or 029b2lm would seem to work. Any other ideas to avoid having a "black hole"?scott s..

I've had several recent requests for Gerrish Gray's current e-mail address. Can you please point me in the right direction? I believe he is / was associated with www.flightsims.co.uk/? I.e.: [email protected] ?TIATom G, Sr.

Hey guys am trying to create the new RNAV procedures for VHHH and I need to add 2 new waypoints, they are:RAMEN N22 09.7 E114 05.2RUMSY N22 04.9 E113 48.3CheersPatrick

Hi all.I was wondering whether anyone could tell me whether it's possible to custom make landclass for FS? I don't mean photo scenery, but a new set of ground tiles with associated autogen that could be used in addition to the default landclass classifications as VTP ground polys.The reason I ask is that I've produced a collection of ground tiles using a set of default tiles (one's with associated agn files) so as to replicate scenery in my local area. This works really well, both as landclass and VTP polys. However, because the new ground tiles are based on a default set of tiles, it necessarily replaces all landclass that uses bitmaps with these file names. This means t…

Hi!i want to import API Macros (i have them as API macros and as Bgl + texture files) into FS Scenery Enhancer. But i really dont know how, in the manual they say something about FSregen, but i really have no ideas about all that!Thanx for your helphttp://www.igfly.com/images/betateam.jpg

Hi, I'm hoping someone else here can help me.I am using the wonderful EDDW freeware scenery from Oliver Pabst. This is one of my favorite airports to "fly" into now. In order to decrease the number of planes at this airport, you must lower your scenery settings ( think it's the density setting in FS9). I was hoping to leave the scenery settings max'd since I just bought a new system, but I want to remove the planes. Is this possible? Can I just remove something out of the scenery folder or will this cause a crash?Any help will be appreciated.Jeff

New updated documentation for Rwy12 Object Placer V1.2 was uploaded to the library (rwy12_tutorials.zip). The documents are in PDF format for easy reading and printing.There are 4 files in the zip;Installation v1.2Rwy12 v1.2 tutorialRwy12 Object_Placer_FAQRwy12_Create_library_tutorialhttp://www.sk-flightsim.com/http://www.rwy12.com/

I'm trying to place jetways from the Rwy12 Program into FS2004 for an airport. Problem is I have a hard time placing them accurately. I sync my position with FS but I still place them to far from the terminal or too close. Also is the a way I can see the coordinates with more decimal places in FS2004 for help in accuaracy in place obects since the Rwy12 programs has more decimal places that FS2004?

I'm designing Regina Airport using Gmax but the problem is that I don't know the measurements of the terminal and I searched the Internet but can't find anything on the measurements of the terminal.

Is it possible to harden a surface on an object made with FSDS2? For example, a bridge or a pier.Thanks

I would like to create some small grass or dirt airstrips for bush flying. I want them to follow the existing terrain and not be "flattened". Is this possible? If so what programs or utilities do I need to make them?

I conducted a search and found some relavent info to my question but I was wondering what is the best tool to create and place an industrial plant that is close to CYVR. It would add to the realism of FS2004 as it is along the flight path of arriving and departing aircraft. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks,Max

Besides the mesh, does anybody know of any scenery packages for Afghanistan? The VOR's are not in the right places for that area and the scenery resembles more the Rockies than the arid Afghan landscape. Thanks in advance for your help,regards,Macs :)

HiI was wanting to try to use some buildings I had made for MSFS in a program that my son uses. The models in that program are in *.bsf files. Just wondered if anyone here had heard of it, or maybe it is specific to that program so we can't get a compiler for it.The program is 'Hornby Virtual Rail 2' which he uses for planning railroad layouts.Thanks to my freinds in the FS community.Graeme

How can I clean up/remove some of the ground textures (Landclass?) that are showing up around KOKC airport. The buildings etc. are too close to the runways and don't belong there. I circled the textures in question. The excludes don't work since these are ground textures?I dabled with scenery in FS2000, but have not messed with it since then and forgot everything I learned.

I'm making an airport scenery that is being made in Gmax, with the entire airport in one scene. I had modelled the majority of the buildings and textured about a third of them, but I have been having a problem where I texture an object or building, but for some reason Gmax doesn't like that particular object and it cancels the export with the message "MakeMDL was not found, or failed to convert the model specified in 'C:gmaxgamepacks*&%$$%##*&' to a .MDL file. Check your system path to make sure MakeMDL is on it." (I am sure MakeMDL is on the right path, because if I delete the object in question the scene exports without a hitch, and it exports other scenes ju…

HelloHow do I remove a stock FS9 airport?Does FS9 use a huge BGL containing many airports in Hawaii?I want to completely remove Dillingham Air Force Base in Hawaiiand build a special purpose base. I read the tutorial and used ExeBuilder but it still leaves some buildings. It also leaves some taxiways.How do I get rid of them?ThanksFaxCap

Hi All, my Kempsey NSW Australia scenery is now available at virtualvfr.com . It features some waterfalls using Holger's whitewater textures - used with permission. Thanks,Che

I am happy with SceneGenXexe,But there is a problem with the Flatten at one end of my Runay,it is thus,the last 100m is floating and have tried layer 3 but fear it will not make any difference to go on perhaps someone can help,the MSL is 925' and worked perfect uptill the last 100',regards Patrick.:-hmmm
