Looking for a good AFCAD for KCHS using FSX win 8

Dear FSX Community, Currently, I am working FSX AFCADS for Indian Airports using ADEX tool. All my AFCAD airports using built-in FSX stock scenery object libraries. FSX some how restricts me to use only scenery objects e.g. airport terminal buildings, hangers, etc. only from the following folder: I am not able to re-use scenery objects from the following folder locations: i.e. If I add a terminal building "airport object" used in default FSX Frankfurt airport for an Indian airport e.g. Delhi within ADEX tool, the AFCAD compiles but the airport object is not visible in FSX environment. I would be much obliged if any one of you could help on the …

So, I've just created my very first, very basic scenery for FSX. It is Elk City airport in Elk City, ID (S90). I use ORBX NRM, so the scenery will probably not look right without it. If anyone could try it out for me and let me know what you think, that would be great. Here is a link to the WIP pics: http://fsemissions.boards.net/thread/7/s90-elk-city-ias-wip Send me a PM or reply to this thread and I'll give you the link to download. Thanks

Hey guysI'm re-doing the runway at LEAL (Alicante - El Altet) and have created a 4096 runway texture. I'm by no means an expert in photoshop and my artistic talent in nonexistant, so thought I would share it and ask your opinion / ideas on how to improve ithttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/19353176/runwayElAltet.dds

Now and then there will be a runway with an ILS that is off centerline. Example > RWY 15L at RKSI (Incheon, RK) is lined up about 200' of right of centerline. Can this be adjusted perhaps with the AFX program, or other....? If it's possible to correct this, what is the best way? BTW, the approach headings seem to be correct. Only the approach course lineup seems to be wrong (parallel, but displaced to the right of the RWY centerline). Thank you, Ken Boardman

I purchased the latest version of Instant Scenery, a nd I must say Im having a ball giving my airports some life. I know, there has to be a point where frame rates suffer, but havent hit it yet. I had been using ADE to do it, but it's nice to be able to be inside FSX and do it visually. I have no link to the company, so this is all from someone who's just having fun. Also, Ive been using the SAMM program to convert fsx planes into placable scenery, because I cant seem to find too many sites with general aviation aircraft. Anyway, once again Im spending more time building and tweaking than flying. It's our lot in life, I suppose. John

Thought I'd fly up to Mackinac Island today... lo and behold, there are a bunch of trees right smack dab in the middle of t he tarmac. Any idea how I can remove these? I went into Airport Design Editor, but they didn't show up. Guess it's an landclass thing. Anyway, I put an exclusion zone around the area, but they're still there. Any idears? Thanks in advance John.

Would like to know where i can find those ground text you see on most airports to identify them ^_^

I've been through most of the free sites and ive download many objects what id like to know is there a website that deals with Objects and just objects alone, Not sure if you seen the Hanger below of the Poconos Airport but im trying to find something close to this and none out of the many objects i have seems to match up well. So if i can find a website that has Objects available for download along with images that would be marvelous. Any ideas? Or if you can simply find a hangar to somewhat match the one below that will also be great Many thanks

I use Flight1s Instant Scenery and have created a number of FS9 airports for personal use. I had an object in one of the libraries that placed a "smudge" or shadow of dirt and oil stains in the general shape of an aircraft in parking spaces. It was very effective. Sadly, I seem to have somehow deleted the object. Can anyone tell me where I might find this? Thank you Ian

Hey guys i know how to create General Aviation parking in Airport studio and i also know how to Link them to a taxiway What i don't know is how can i get the effect in the picture below. When im finished all i get is a bunch of taxiway lines am i doing something wrong? This is what im getting instead :mellow:

A group of flight simulator developers have been working together to organize an online conference focused on development for flight simulator platforms (MSFS, P3D, X-Plane) and are now seeking additional help from the development community. We are looking for experienced developers interested in sharing their knowledge to help other developers from beginners to experts learn more about creating add-ons for flight simulators. Information on the conference and details on the call for presenters can be found at the conference website.

Hi, I am trying to develop my home Airport VECC (Kolkata, India), and I am encountering problems to determine the runway headings. In the AIRAC 1306, the following information is given: NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA B VECC01L 10728 007 22.640197 88.443992 000.00 007 000 20 NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA B VECC01R 11900 007 22.642197 88.446314 109.90 007 000 20 NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA B VECC19L 11900 187 22.670750 88.449389 110.30 187 000 19 NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA B VECC19R 10728 187 22.664900 88.446895 111.30 187 000 19 In the AIP and NOTAMs (current) published by Airports Authority of India…

I was doing some custom designing on PMDY (Midway island) and totally messed up the stock .bgl of the island. it is APX00210.bgl in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X\scenery\0002\scenery folder Could someone toss it to me please. OR If there is a way to extract the file from the FSX disk without having to do a complete reinstall I would love to know how to do it. Thanks

Hello... On the Instant scenery 2 demo video i see the guy rotating objects without having to slide the heading slider to rotate the object.... Is there a shortcut on the keyboard that will allow you to rotate an object in instant scenery 2?

Hello everyone I am NOT an expert when it comes to organizing scenery object libraries in flight simulator I know for sure that I have lots of duplicated objects if anything I have objects in specific freeware sceneries that I have downloaded from avsim I have over 700 sceneries in my addon scenery directory and find it Difficult searching for which scenery contains an object that I already have in my two main scenery folder. Any ideas On how I can go about finding scenery objects that are duplicated easier way so that I can have only one of each kind?

Hello everyone, Im currently working on an airport i dont see many sceneries for it anywhere so ive decided to make my own, acording to google maps the hangers at this specific airport i already have but id like to change the ground textures ive seen them used on other sceneries so im sure its available just hoping someone can help me find them thanks in advance.

Hi im using FSX sp2, and I'm trying to create to way traffic (by drawing two line with F and T each line) but still I'm having an one way traffic. Anyway help on this? Thanks

Hi all Simple question, can you use the fsx sdk after having uninstalled fsx? Thanks

I was wondering if I could get some help fixing a couple problems with a FSX Area51 (ADE) scenery/afcad I downloaded. I am not even sure if it is permitted to modify this scenery but thought I would ask here. I e-mailed (June 20th and 22nd) the author but did not get a reply. I downloaded this very nice nice Area 51 scenery for FSX from flyawaysimulation.com (3.49MB Skara Scenery). http://flyawaysimula...rea-51-scenery/ I noticed: The ILS for RWY 12 has a heading of 315.9 degrees? ... also this ILS is pointed that way, which is wrong. It should be rwy 30 with its own ILS. Also, the current runway layout is (left to right) 30, 32R and 32. It should be 30, 32 and 3…

Hey guys! I'm testing some scenery creation for FSX and I created the models, textured them and added them in ADE, but for some reason when I compile and place the files inside their respective folders and adding them to the library. At first I could see the objects and no texture files. Now I don't even see the object whatsoever. I've been going crazy since I can't figure out what might be happening that my objects are not visible. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! Teo

Fellows,I am using Instant Scenery for object placement and I am in need of some balls of light like point lights that I can use to place around airports, roads, etc. Unfortunatley, all I can seem to find in my existing library and in the Avsim library are objects of light poles, some of which have attached beams of light. However, these are really what I need. All I am needing is a ball of light that is white and maybe a red ball also. It doesn't need to have an attached halo effect that actually projects light on the ground.The closest I have been able to get to what I need is what I did in the pics below. I took an object in my scenery library that was a light pole wit…

Hi Guys, these are the pictures of my last job, I hope you enjoy it. I have a problem, I do not know how to place the lights along runway and taxi ... could you help me?
