FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

The latest RKSI I'm having was by Ray Smith in 2018 but I do notice that the 4th runway was added in this airport. Does anybody has the latest freeware for this one? Thank you

Hi everyone, I've been in the market for orthographic sceneries, and seeing how easy it is to make ortho scenery using Ortho4XP, i wanted to try it myself as well. I am aware of Ortho4P3D, however Ortho4P3D takes quite a long time for one tile, about 15 minutes per tile on ZL16. FSET has been around for FS9/FSX/P3D for quite a while, and in my experience it has been a lot faster than Ortho4P3D, but it's only lacking water masks for islands and shorelines. The issue I'm currently having is how to setup the ArcGIS service on FSET. Ortho4XP has the option to use ArcGIS. (which is this link by the way: https://server.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Image…

Hi guys, As currently there is no commercial P3D scenery available for Brindisi LIBR I have installed the freeware scenery from the AVSIM library; 2012 by Stefano Tessore. I have also installed the update and pasted the LIBR_elev_correction.bgl into P3Dv5 scenery/world/scenery. Unfortunately I get both airport signs on the ground and floating in the air. I have searched my P3D installation folder for any other LIBR afcad file but it doesn't give any results. I was hoping someone could give me any advice how to get rid of the floating signs or, if required, all of the signs. I found an email address in the ReadMe file in the installation folder but it appear…

Hello everyone, I am having real trouble compiling bgl's using ADE. Can anyone pls do li'l bit changes to the attached scenery using ADE, whenever you are free, I will be really grateful...

I have tweaked several Naval Air Stations in P3D and the aprons badly need some F-18s parked on them, but apparently Lockheed Martin got rid of anything Boeing in the SDK's library objects. Does anyone know of a good way to accomplish this? I don't need anything fancy. Thanks, Chris

Hi guys, Please help me, I've made a basic hanger for installation into FSX and more importantly to be adding ON TOP of UK Scenery for EGNH (Blackpool), It's for my flight operations and I was looking to have custom scenery. I've successfully managed to add test textures and import the COLLADA file to ModelConverter X before using the Convert and Place wizard and put in the location lat and long before converting to get the BGL and textures in the required folders...... When I add it to the scenery libaray and go to where it should be I cant find it or even see it and it's deffinately added, moving the scenery to the sea or away from the airfield also does not s…

In my P3Dv4 Scenery Library there are a number of titles including FTX_NA-!USALL_Library that are checked but the box is greyed out. I do not know if this is a problem or not. This old man sure would appreciate comments or ? Thanks

So this question is for P3D v4 not FSX, but there isn't one specifically for P3D. I would like to make my own fictional airport in P3D. Basically I am creating a home base to use for my private fleet, and ultimately eventually make a custom house next to the airport where I would live. I was kind of thinking it would be cool to maybe have an airport that's in the middle of the ocean on a fictional island. So I know a little bit about using ADE and can make a basic airport, but how would I go about generating the terrain for the island? All I would need to do is create a slightly raised area of terrain that is big enough to fit the airport and house. The runwa…

Hello, I am curious if it is possible to create new land in P3D. What I want to do is be able to create a private island, say in the middle of the ocean, and build an airport on it to use for my base. I can create a basic airport in ADE but don't know anything about making custom terrain. So would this be possible? Thanks

I have a problem with the layout and display of the Keflavík (BIKF) airport display in FSX-SE. I don't have any additional scenery or terrain features added. Reykjavík (BIRK) airport displays OK. I've attached a couple of screen shots for BIKF and I'm wondering if someone who is more familiar with scenery design can help he correct this problem. As it now stands, BIKF is unusable. Thanks, Jim Driskell

This for all you guys familiar with ADE. I am newly using it and I am waiting now since Saturday to be approved on their forum. I noticed a number of library objects lacked thumbnails. So, I downloaded the Big Thumbnail Pack from their site. I read the Readme. It said I could install it anywhere or in the ADE directory but keep file structure intact. So, I put the whole Big Thumbnail folder in the ADE directory but the library interface does not see or find them. Can anyone describe the proper method to install the Big Thumbnail Pack into ADE so I can use it when I choose library objects? Thanks.

Next to almost all scenery there's a red triangle. The only exemptions is my Dream Team Scenery. Is there an easy fix?

Does anyone know of any freeware building and hanger libraries I could use with ADE for redesigning certain default airports in P3Dv4? Thanks

Hello, forgive me if this is not the best place to post this since I am using P3D v4 but I don't see a scenery design forum specifically for that sim. Anyways I am trying to add an ILS to an airport in P3D using ADE and know the basics of how to create one but I'm not sure if it is set up correctly and need your help. So I posted a picture below to show how I currently have the ILS set up. My first question is why is the green arrow that shows the ILS so short? Usually on charts or maps it will be much longer but don't know if it really matters for this purpose. The second question is how do I find the correct course for the runway, so I know what to enter when…

Have FSX Steam. I bought a airport addon, Harrisburg International KMDT from simmarket. It's my closest international airport. I ran the installer and I had to direct for steam version because it was defaulted for boxed. It installed in my addon scenery in a folder, Harrisburg International. In the folder were two sub folders, Scenery and Textures. My question is do I have to move the bgl and texture files from those folders into FSX's Addon scenery and texture files? I tried adding it through the scenery options in the start screen. But FSX wouldn't lock the whole folder. It broke down to the scenery and texture folders and I wasn't sure how to proc…

Hello All, I'm having some issues with being able to see some library objects within my sim. The area where I am focusing on right now is within "Package Boeing KC-46A Pegasus & co-located MPAI KC-135R Stratotanker for FSX/P3D (JYAI)". The attached scenery files once worked fine in my sim, however, upon doing some bulk updates to scenery in my P3D config, the library objects now fail to appear. I'm not sure what is causing the issue as I have tried to disable other sceneries to help to no prevail. I'm currently running P3Dv4.4... Once again it worked before and I have taken it upon myself to completely reinstall MAIW along with the respective package. I'm th…

Forgive me if I chose the wrong forum but I could find no category for Scruffy Duck software. I want to install ADE to make a few mods to a default local airport in P3Dv4. Must I install ADE to the same HD that the simulator is installed on? Thanks

Hi everybody ! Could someone explain to me what the message "ESP¨_build_dir is None inside of resemple...somthing went wrong, so can't run resample". Thank you ! Alain

Hello, I'm in love with the 727! In P3D v4 I fly TDS and Tom Ruth's models. Unfortunately there is a bug in TR's VC with the compass. It is fixed on North. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

Good Day, Over the past few months I have been mastering making freeware scenery for FSX. I have gotten to the point where I can make a scenery with correct taxiways, runways, gate assignments, and some static buildings and objects. As much as this is cool, I want to learn how to make scenery with custom objects, custom ground textures, etc., like most payware sceneries, so that people who don't want to pay for scenery everywhere they fly can still have a good looking sim.. Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial for getting started with this?

I am a resident of South Central Pennsylvania. Home field Penn Valley KSEG, Selinsgrove, PA. About 8 miles west of my residence is the small town of Millersburg, PA on the Susquehanna River. It's also the southern terminus of US Route 209. My problem is that there is a bridge across the Susquehanna there that does not exist. The only way across the river at Millersburg are the small, seasonal, stern wheel tourist ferries How would I be able to delete that bridge that shouldn't be there? Thanks

I've made this little tool that searches for dxt3 and dxt5 textures that have bad alpha channel data, and fixes them. It was originally made for FS9 and only searched for dxt3, but it was very simple to also do dxt5 files, so here is the newest version. It can be used for both FSX and FS9. How it works: You select a root folder from where the search should begin. This can be your FSX/FS9 root folder, but doesn't have to be. It then goes through the folder structure (all subdirectories) from there on and searches for faulty files. If you check the box that says "Just report bad files", it will only report which files are bad and need fixing, but doesn't actu…

Like to add some parked aircraft to a certain airport. I did try Where Are My Aircraft but it will not connect to Steam FSX. Is there another program or software that would let me do this ?

Hi, Is there a way to easily merge different agn files (with same agn filename because they are for same area) for photo scenery? I have a product called Revolution X which is building and trees for UK photo scenery however it's a little sparse on the trees IMHO. I also have a number of freeware agn packs with more trees and I was hoping there was a way to merge these into my current Revolution x agn files. I am looking at merging multiple agn files in one go. I have been looking at a couple of tools AGNmerge by vogel but it's in French and has no manual - if this is the right tool then could someone walk thru how to use it. Also looke…
