FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

Hi,Looks simple, but... perhaps I use the wrong program (Airport version 2.6). I like to draw the yellow taxi lines and the hold short lines. How must I realize such lines ?I installed a replacement taxiway lines and the default airports have now those new lines... I want those in my own scenery.Greetz. Jos

Hey. I think some!Can I made a ship AI and put them in a flightplan. Then I see the boat cruise in example 20 kts, land on the decks?Like CFS2, I can land a carrier when it drives forward.

Hello. Sorry for my bad English.I has a problem!I try to attach a "fx_kbeacon_white.fx" to a box, only this.Not other objects.Problem to export this to mdl file. Error:Assertion failed"Program: ....makemdl.exeFile: fs9sdkToolsutilssourcemdlviewoctTree.cppLine: 386Expression: m_iLevelCnt > 0Information...(Press Retry to debug the applecation -JIT must be enabled)If I put new 2nd box into the mdl file, the errors not show. In the FS2004 show only the 2nd box, not beacon light... W H Y ?I hope your understand

Hi everyone, I recently decided to download some high detail terrain mesh for the area that i usually fly in (FS2004). After doing so, I noticed a small island which previously looked flat and boring, now looks awesome with some nice rugged cliffs and hills. I know there is two airstrips on the island but microsoft decided to leave them out. Now that it looks so nice, I actually want to land there so i decided to take up scenery design to fix the problem. Ive read a few tutorials and searched a few forums but now im stuck! Question - Can I use SceneGenX to flatten a small area of this island for an airstrip? and if so, how?I already made an airstrip and installed it b…

Excuse the newbie question but when you run through a process you have never used before you are indeed back at the beginning (despite 10 years of scenery design!).I have extracted the ASM files from a GMax export and edited them. Can I check the next step of the process please?Is the ASM is then run through BGLC_9.exe to produce a BGL file or is there a step I am missing? Do I rename the BGL to MDL and then run the XML file though BGLComp again (to get the position data in)?boneshttp://fsaviation.nethttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I remember a "pseudo aircraft", which visualizes in top-down-view concentric squares in an definened distance. But I don't find it any more.Please, does anybody know the file-name and the download-location?!Thanks a lot!Servus from ViennaErnestus

Hello,I was just wondering the easiest way to add a texture to some vtp polygons that I have (I didn't create them).TbanksVictor

Hey all...I am completely redoing my home airport, & after lots of trial & error, I have the runways, VOR, ILS, & some other minor systems in. However, I left the default taxiways for now (for me to fly with atm), and I curious what would be the best & maybe the easiest for a beginner, program to start from scratch & get the taxiway system in without having to wait until I am 50yrs older.I expect the tediousness, but not as bad as I currently have it, and I really want to get those default taxiways out of there now.Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everyone http://www.ifdg.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/bye.gifSeeking the wisdom of you scenery gurus.Many add-on airport scenery packs for FS9 have taxiway lights which I find really cool. The default FS9 taxiways look very empty without them.1. Is there an add-on out there that creates these lights that will make them appear on *every* airport?2. If not..how hard would it be to create such lights? Is it as easy as sticking a file in the main texture folder...or is it a lot more complicated than that?! http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contri...y/corkysm20.gifThe lights *do not* have to light up. I never fly at night in the sim anyway so thats not a factor he…

Hi LeeFirstly may I congratulate you on such a good program as AFCAD 2.21.My question is when can we expect a new version. 2.21 has been with us now for a long time and I see various postings regarding looking for newer version notice that appears when 2.21 is first installed.Now some requests for any new version.An import of background image to make design easier from airport layout charts.Ability to locate objects from macro library such as Airport offers, so as to gain accurate building against parking slots. (No aircraft parked inside the terminal.)Ability to locate stand numbers on apron surface, taxiway turnoffs etc.Your work is greatly appreciated and as freeware i…

Hi all,New to scenery design, in FS2004 at least, and I was wondering if anyone has designed a utility to convert BGL data to a text or Excel type format?Actually, what I'm trying to do is find a particular airport within a BGL file for editing in SceneGenX without having to laboriously go through every BGL for the region.I have obtained just about every tool available (Many thnx to all the programmers out there!!!), but I can't find one to do what I'm asking. I have also checked this Forum for previous topics of this nature, to no avail.Thnx in advance for any assistance,LW

Hi there!At the moment In FSSC I'm trying to use steel mat textures for my runways. Only the holes are hughe, not very realistic. What am I doing wrong? Cees Donker

Hi everyone, has somebody found a way to "clean" GSHHS data? This data, which is pretty accurate, seems to have few points here and there that are way off and causes FS to chrash (I think). The results that I got using this data with AutoCoast was amasing. The program just spat out the whole coastline of my country whith all Islands and lakes using one command line. I was disappointed when after few minutes of flying, FS crashed. In some areas one can fly for few minutes in other FS crashes instantly.thrimur

I am new to all this so be gentle! ;I am trying to reroute a road around an add-on airport using Ground2K version 5.4. I have succesfully removed the portions of the old road that I needed to remove with defarea so that part went fine. Now I am trying to add some new road segments and no matter what I try, they do not show up in FS2004! I am not trying to change landclass, add textures or anything fancy, and I gave the new roads a layer of 33. I get the following error message when I compile:Warning: more than 2 points for bridge; see bitmap X= 350.963973116162 Y= 746.86125567098That implies there is water involved, which is not at all the case - no water for miles, n…

Hi,I make a new airport and so I have to check how it looks. Sometimes I take a screenshot for the record and change the aircraft. And here comes the problem: FS2002 stops and reinstalls.Is this coming from my new airport under construction, or something else ? Building with Airport for Windows 2.6. Perhaps I have to devide the .bgl into smaller pieces ?Thanks anyway. Jos

I am trying to insert one or more Laser Beams in my Scenery. I am updating my Stone Mountain Georgia scenery for FS9. One of the most distinctive attractions at the mountain during the summer is a one hour plus Laser Show attended by many thousands almost every night.Computer controled laser beams are projected onto the side of the granite face and are used to create unbelievably complex scenes coordinated to a gorgeous music and sound effects accompaniment--not at all unlike an old time drive-in movie theater.I have no problem actually getting a suitable display on the side of my mountain so there is no need for the laser beams to actually do anything even remotely compl…

Can anyone help me to correct the C130 fuselage textures? Everything else looks great in this FS2002 scenery file. Running this in FS9.http://pic5.picturetrail.com/VOL84/1407476...27/95006950.jpgThanks.

I have built my first airport scenery in FS2004 and would like to add a working windsock, is there an easy way to do it?

I know this is not strictly scenery design but it is tied up with it.I have created an airport on a fictitious island and put a control tower on it. I have used Afcad2 to place the runway etc.. I read that in Afcad you can set the Tower View by inserting the tower into the plan.I used to set the tower view in previous versions of Fs by slewing to the tower height and position but that doesn't seem possible now.Can any one help, please? There doesn't seem to be any info on it in FS9 and I have searched the forums without any luck.

Hi allI've been experimenting with the Ground2k4 mesh tool but I'm finding that all I can do is set an individual point to an altitude which produces a cone in the landscape. Problem is the software seems to prevent me putting the points close enough together to create a surface at that altitude, all I get is a nest of cones! Is that a limitation in Ground2k4 or am I way off track?CheersStew

Now that we're well into 2005, the current NAVDATA cycles are being published showing updated (correctly) runway identifiers and ils headings etc... For example, my home airport CYQX Gander International, Newfoundland, Canada used to have a runway 04/22 which was aligned 036/216. I think the magnetic variation was 24W. Since 2005, and I guess because of the changing magnetic variation, which is now 22 W, the runway has now changed in real life to 03/21 which is aligned 033/213. I have confirmed this from the current terminal chart issued in Canada on 17 March 2005, and also because I fly there. My question is this, can I adjust FS2004 to reflect this change. I updated …

I was reading the RWY12 forum and ran across a post about no textures showing. I recently had the same problem, and per the post on the RWY12 forum, added the textures to the main FS9 texture file and all is well. I tried all texture formats and different areas for placement. The bgls were placed both with GMAX and FSDS2.24 format. Neither worked. The same texture placed with the RWY12 program would show. I was using some sign textures from dawgs signs bmps from RWY12. Sure is a 'puzzlement'--my word.Any one have any ideas as to why or a fix?
