FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

Okay, okay, I KNOW I have downloaded AFCAD from here before, the program. But now no matter where i search this site all I get are hundreds of thousands of airport files, but no program. I definately searched under both Facilities data and Utilities for FS2k2.Anyone know where to download AFCAD by Lee Swordy? Searches on the internet only lead to files as well and no program.What happened to the copy AVSIM had????With thanks in advance for any leads,Christopher Dittmar

Hi,I have a broad object, which seems to remove autogen in a rectangular area. Is there a way to edit this object so that autogen isn't stopped by it? Object is made in FSDS 1.6.

A while ago there were some shots posted here of a work in progress by a chap called Jay (I think) for CYTZ - Toronto City Centre. I was just wondering if I have missed it or is it still being worked on? I remember the screenshots looked great and I've been looking forward to its release.

I am having some fun now that I can see my world as close as to real life as possible. Near AGC just south West of Pittsburgh, PAOver KCKB

I am very new to scenery design and I am currently using Groundmaker for putting down new taxiways. But it seems like I get a rough or bumpy ride when I taxi over the new taxiways. I have read a lot of posts how to fix this with other programs but is there a way to us GroundMaker to fix this problem?Thanks in advance,JH

Hi!Is it possible to dim the *_LM.bmp light map texture in gMax material editor? For example using the amount number...?? I can't see any difference no matter what I do.Thanks.Tatu

Hi ALLPlease download this:http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/webads/lwm/LWMDraw4b4.zipI believe it will be the final version 4 release except it still does not contain all the menu documentation.It includes a new Check Box feature so you can simply switch OFF either LWM or VTP data if desired which comes in really handy when you do NOT wish your shoreline to run out into the middle of your water area. It's much nicer now then it's described in version 3 which you had to delete a corner point. CHECK IT OUT !!!As soon as I complete the menu documentation, I want to upload it to this forum again so that others might see where I may have messed up somewhere in the documentation…

Hi,Would you please tell me these questions.1- What is the meaning of flatten number in LWM. What is the meaning of -9999.2- When I am us,ng resampler.exe , I am writing the coordinates of what? the top,left corner of my working area?3- If you designing a city scenery. What is the best way to do thousands of same type building.4- I have the citymap of my city. I will desing roads from this map. What is the vest utility for this?5-I wrote a small utility that cuts a big bmp picture into 256*256 parts for LMWDraw4. Does anybody want to use it?6-What new features that FS2004 have. Do we now something. What kind of our works will run under FS2002Thanks

You just might want to check this one out:http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/webads/lwm/LWMDraw4b4.zipUmm, maybe I should call it TDFDraw?Ken

I've realized the railways lines for my Country (Italy), with the parameter VTPTextureId 2, but aren't too visible.So i would like to modify the width of the lines, and the texture used.How may I enlarge the lines? Witch texture is used by FS2002 to design the railways?Thanks for your answers.Ciao

Sometime ago I downloaded Scenery and/or textures that produced brighter city light effects when approaching a populated are but the name of the file eludes me. I have searched hi and low for it but can't seem to find the file.Any help would be [email protected]

As functions and processes are developed by various people seeking methods to "manage" FS2002 elements the discussions tend to be arcane. Those of us that do not work with specific elements everyday, or are not programmers, see snippets of development that whet our appitites. It is indeed a welcome sight to see a manual that brings together the efforts of the development part of the sim world in a way that offers comprehensive guidance. Similar comments can also apply to a program Christian is developing to actually apply the items in the TMF manual, and other elements, in a manner that will permit part-time scenery enthusiasts to adjust scenery (large scale) to their l…

Hi!Has anybody got it now how to build FS2k2-roads using Microsoft's BGL Compiler? I don't have many programming skills and for me it would take a year to understand what the "Terrain Vector Data.doc" says.I would be pleased if anybody could send an example of a source-code which would give a much better insight.ThanksSasa

all the the helpfiles & tutorials available are explaining the old material editor v1.0 & v1.1does somebody know a tutorial or a helpfile v1.2 where the new material editor is [email protected]

I have not designed any scenery for FS since FS98, and have lost touch with what is available now for FS scenery design (specifically FS2002). I would welcome any recommendations. Presently, my needs are very modest -- to add some structures to an existing airport. But I'll entertain suggestions for more advanced tools, also.TIA.-Basil

Are there no seasonal textures for rivers and lakes in FS2002? I seem to recall that lakes would freeze over in winter in some earlier versions of FS. Seems a bit incongruous for lakes and rivers not to be frozen when flying the far north.-Basil

I recently downloaded Rick Bores' KPHX scenery and for some reason the apron around the gates and the grass areas are solid white, no texture at all. I installed as the instructions stated. I re-downloaded it 2 times and tried reinstalling it to see if it was a bad download but it is still this way. Anyone else have this problem? If so were you able to fix it?

Afternoon folks,I was wondering if it is possible to modify the runway code so that the border lines ONLY disappear during winter? Is that possible?Here is the simple but cryptic :) runway code you all probably know in and out (why does it have to be made in this way ;)):; FS2000 runway 28; [using newer SCASM Runway command for FS2K & beyond]Area( 5 62:39.64659 029:37.22328 30 ) LayerCall( :rwy 24 ) Jump( : ):rwy Smoothing ( 1 ) Runway( 62:39.64659 029:37.22328 Altitude 121.3104 Heading 289.2 Length 8202 Width 171 Id 28 Surface -1 Markers 7E THRESHOLD 0 Lights …

Hello,one short question: I would like to install Wilco's Airport 2000 under FS2002. Can anyone of you tell me if this is possible, and if yes, how to to this ??Thanks a lot,Carsten

Anyone knows the file name of the default texture used for rivers in FS2002?Or, alternatively, a good realistic texture for rivers around?Thanks:-)

Hi all,This is my first post to the forum but I'm here for a couple of weeks and I've learned a lot already.I've started a little project for myself to try all these design techniques discussed here. I thought a virtual island would be best. I've done the mesh terrain and started to create the coast lines with surf etc. , filled the cell with water and some of the area with land.My question is, how can I fill / 'draw' textures for the land areas other than creating lanclass files already? I want to use the landclass feature later for the details like villages and fields etc. I've attached a screenshot of the scenery so far. I used a landclass to test whether the land/wate…

Everytime I try to import a background image into FS SCenery Creator (last version), after selecting the bmp file and pressing OK, I get an error of "file not found". I have of course doublechecked that the file is indeed there where it should be.Any suggestions of what to look for?Thanks

This may seem like a stupid question, just bear with me I am a :-newbie to scenery design. I came across an interesting problem when designing a scenery in Airport for Windows. It seems that when I am in the flight simulator, it doesn't display any of the infield polygons in the north end of the airport (which is KSJC b.t.w.). Someone gave me heads up on what code to change in SCASM. However, when I got to make the changes it doesn't change. Is there any thing I am doing wrong. Again I thank you guys in advance.
