FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

Hi all,I'm in the middle of modifying a previously modified version of this AP.This is being done using Flight1 IS and AFX for FS9. On initial start, I excluded all stock objects.But noticed three items still appeared, alongwith the stock Taxiway signs. I managed to get the taxiway signs excluded , but only by using IS, with the stock AP activated and creating a new FNLUStock.bgl. Using the same method I excluded the remaining three items.Now to the crux, as I like the look of those three items, I would like to re-instate them, but, move them to a new location. Reason being the VOR station as of now is too close to the new taxiway and the other two are buried in Autoge…

Hi This is more directed to people who are familiar with YSSY. As you probably know runway 16L/34R was only built in the 90s. Before that, it was just 16R/34L (then known as 16/34) and 7/25. I am trying to create scenery to replicate YSSY as it was in the 1980s. So far it is going alright, except for one problem. I can not work out how to delete the land underneath where 16L/34R was. I want the end result to be like this (satellite image): http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/corporate/community-environment-and-planning/~/media/Images/Corporate/Aviation%20Community/year%20round/Sydney%20Airport%20Aerial%20-%201987.jpg. PLEASE don't talk about using the KML and using E…

Morn'n Folks, I was wondering if someone could help me out with this problem ? TREES NO TREES I'm using - UT - FSGenesis - and - GE Pro... This is the approach end of 26 @ KMGJ... I have manually planted areas outside the fence with trees via Instant Scenery in SHOT #1... If you note in SHOT #2 - this is then same area after a subsequent restart of FS9 - the same two areas are now devoid of trees - one area on the left and the other on the right as it they get close to the roads... As soon as I open the respective BGL in Instant Scenery all of my trees show up again - as in SHOT #1... If I close Instant Scenery - the trees remain until I exit MSFS …

I am trying to encourage someone to produce a scenery package for FS9 of the Tompkins Regional Airport located in Ithaca, New York. It is a neat little airport located in the Central Southern Tier of New York State. A package was produced of this airport for FSX, but the creator has no plans of doing it for FS9. KITH has an ILS runway, 32, and has hills and Cayuga Lake that border it. I have no talent regarding scenery creation, so I would really appreciate it if someone would take a look at this airport and place it on AVSIM.com or Flightsim.com for all to enjoy. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Hope someone is willing to take on this request. …

I haven't made a scenery since FS2000 using Abacus's ASD, so when I found a free download for ADE9 I was stoked. There's been a project that is very near and dear to my heart that I've wanted to do for 5+ years, and that was an upgrade of KNUC and to create a cruise ship stop on the western edge of the island with a nice resort town.The whole idea was to give cruise ships another place other than Catalina and Ensenada to call on, with a nice strip of beach that exists just west of the airport it was made to order. With the airport on higher ground you could have some nice semi high rise hotels and cantina's and piers for the cruise ships to tie up to. I even wanted to hav…

I have recently added GSX to my mix and noticed that it responds to aircraft placement only if correctly placed on the AFCAD footprint. I am subsequently in the process of adjusting the footprints and "T" positions in the AFCAD for the airports as I fly to them. Problem is that placing the footprint and the correct T values (40-56-76) works for all other aircraft except ConcordeX. The "small gate" that ATC assigns the ConcordeX puts it too far forward to activate the Jetway. Using the corrected footprint for "heavy gate", however, always places it just right. Is there a procedure to change FSX ATC so that it assigns a "heavy gate" instead of a "small gate" for Concor…

Is it possible to add/replace static jetways in Blueprint sceneries with moving jetways. I know I can remove a bgl file that displays the static jetways but how do I go about installing moving jetways? Hoping some bright soul can describe how I may do this.

Hey everyone. Question? Is it possible to create a new ground view from an airport, maybe tieing it into the tower view? Was wondering about this as a possible differant view during flyby's, aproaches and landings.

Hello,I have a problem with the FSX SDK. I have FSX ACC pack. When I install the FSX SDK following the guide on FS-developer.com the SDK doesn't show up in the sim. There is no "tools" menu and no other options which could be from the SDK.I am running the setup as admin and I also made sure that I run the correct installers.I only have one problem with the text of the guide. It says I should go to the folder sdk\ but there is none. So I simply tool the second installer from the disk. Am I missing something here?I had the SDK runing befor I needed to reinstall my FSX so I am sure that there is no problem with my system which might prevent it from running, at least I hope s…

Let me first apologise if this has already been covered, but I can't find anything that I feel answers my question, which is... is it possible for me to somehow change the Just flight scenery of UK. By that I mean primarily, increase the contrast? I would really like to explore in VFR some of the UK scenery, which I don't find successful using GEX and UTX or indeed satisfactory. I recently purchased the Horizon Gen X scenery for the south of England, mainly off a few screenies and what others have said.. what a mistake! I find it hideously unrealistic. Very hard contrast, magenta and purple fields, overblown colours, no water maks, I really am amazed that there are so man…

Hey!I have 2 Afcad2 files for 1 single area ETSN in my FS9 situation.One Afcad AF2_ETSN is for the main airport, the other one AF2_5TSN is for the heliport within the same area. You can find the files on http://www.jive1.be/Scenery.rarThe problem is that an AI helicopter does all necessary things when it taxies from its parking place and takes off in that situation, whereas it crosses quite well the taxiway of the main airport when taxiing along its own taxiwayin direction to its own runwayBut, when turning back en flying in it lands, but does no longer cross the taxiway of the main airport but instead it turns right on and follows the taxiway of the main airport, and no…

HI!first, sorry with my english, i´m spanish and i don ´t know write in english too well...I have a problem with wishplacer 0.9, I have created my fictional Terminal with FSDS 3.5 and I have created my library object in bgl format. Then I put this library in whisplacer but when I select the object, it no appears into the FSX and yes, the others whisplacer objects...I tought the problem is my object but when I put my terminal into FSX with SBuilderX it appears!!What happens??Thanks

Hi! I was not really sure in what category to put this topic but i find scenery more similar to this than the other topics.Anyways i have a very weird problem with my World Of AI traffic, The traffic parked on the ground looks nice and are textured.But when i see planes moving they are just blank/grey.For example there was an airbus a320 parked at a gate when i started free flight, but just as it got pushed back and turned for the taxiway, and it just got grey.And it is like this with all the packages and all the planes i installed (about 75) I don't know if it would be to any help to say that i installed all the packages at the same time, could that be the problem?Thanks…

I have the full download of ADEx 1.50 and want to exclude an autogen water tank in FSX. If I read the User Manual correctly, I can do this by creating some sort of polygon, then excluding (also somehow, haven't read the manual in depth yet. My first look at the U/M suggests that I start by entering an airport code. But the autogen I want to exclude is not part of the airport. It's about 5 miles away. If what I want to do can be done, I'll spend quite a bit of time with trial and error. If it can be done, can someone provide a summary of what I'll need to do?My system is Win 7 64-bit.Thanks Much, MH

Hey everyone!! I'm hoping to start working on a project for my local airport for FS9/FSX. I have absolutely no idea as to where to begin! It's a first for me so ANY help in the right direction as very very appreciated!! What programs do I need? I have AFCAD naturally and AFX bt what else do I need to build objects and make photo real scenery? Everyone tells me I'm crazy to try .....but you gotta start somewhere right!!Thanks for ANY help!Gabe :-)

Back in November I released freeware scenery and it's only had 138 downloads. That's because I put it on a site that may not get much traffic where the individual scenery packages are posted. I can't be sure of that, but I'd bet a lot of people would like the scenery as there are few around for seaplane bases.The package is X44 Miami Seaplane Base.What my question is, is where do you scenery developers advertise that you've released something to get a good viewing.Here's the package if you want to check it out.http://aussiex.org/f...e-base-for-fsx/

Hello,Well, this isn't my area at all!But how would I go about creating a transparten marshaller?Problem: GSX + AES. AES displays a marshaller, which I would like to hide completely. So I found the textures, I opened them with DTXbmp, loaded alpha channel into the mspaint, changed to black, imported back and I got a transparent person, which is still visible.I want it to completely disappear, see nothing.Is it possible? The model is still going to be there, but I wish to see nothing of it.If yes, please how?

I have been using Thompson's timezone bgl's for years and have found them to be spot on for most of the world but they are off by one hour in many parts of the continent of Africa. He is no longer active nor providing updates so I am attempting to tackle it myself. I had created an entire world-grid timezone layout for FS98 using that older bgl format with scasm but I am having great difficulty finding a process to disassemble the FSX SP2 bgl's to xml. I have used the programs from the internet as well as using the SP2 SDK disassemble program but none give me a total source code detail - only headers. I am obviously not experienced in working with the SDK and am posti…

I installed Abacus design studio again after long time, and when I try to create 3D object after following basic tutorial that comes with the program I get error Failed to create bgl file! which happens when its generating scenery drawing code.Heres the error report:"OutputFile: _temp.MDLOutput file after modification: _temp.MDLCreating output MDL file: _temp.MDLCRASHTREE no granularity specifiedCRASHTREE completed in 00:00:00.0070004Usage: XToMDL.exe /KEEP /NOGUI /BATCH /NOCRASH /BMP2DDS /XMLSAMPLE /XANIM /DICT:DictFileName /OUT:OutfileName Filename.X"'Then when I try to create aircraft model it creates it, but in FSX its completely invisible.Any help?

Looking for a 3d artist to create a sim object to be imported into a Scenery BGL.It should be fairly simple to create the 3d object and then I can put it into a scenery BGL.This is what I'm looking for...Only need the ground level markers created as a 3d sim object to be placed on the ground to include in a scenery bgl.Would like the different markers to be different colors to differentiate the the different types of markers.The entire box needs to be exactly 3300 meters by 3300 meters.If your interested, please let me know via this thread. ThanksJB

Morn'n Folks,Re: Fantastic little sceneries by Alan Heiner (KODG KRIW KVEL KPOY KSGU KCNY)Been focusing on the GA side of the house lately... Even after all these years with FS9 - there are so many new areas to explore... I've been out in Colorodo, Utah, and Wyoming... I recently downloaded all the airports Alan Heiner had created a while back... They are really very good but I have a problem with these sceneries always causing ALL the textures in FS9 to go blurry... As best I can tell most of the objects used in these sceneries are from the EZ and Runway12 libraries... Normally the blurries are caused by 32 bit textures - so I tried converting all my installed libraries …

Can anyone PLEASE make/point me to a Washington Dulles Intl. Airport scenery? The current one is missing a newly added runway, and it's keeping me from doing many VATSIM events, such as the recent (or ongoing as of 8:17PM, February 10, 2012, at the time of this posting) ZDC FNO.Thanks.

I'm very new to scenery design, still learning as I go. I currently use ADE9X, IS2, and SBuilder. The latter is the one I know least about! Also, I use FS9 with FSG mesh, UT USA, and GE Pro.I need help excluding a default FS9 road that runs under a new taxiway I added. I confirmed that it is a default road. Here's how I'm creating the exclusion:1) Open SBuilder and create new project.2) Start FS9, then connect SBuilder to FS9, red crosshair depicting aircraft position appears.3) Press poly button on top tool bar, and "draw polygon" around section of road to be excluded, using position of aircraft as guide in placing the polygon points. Close flight sim.4) Open polygon pr…

I'm thinking about buying Flight 1's Instant Scenery V2 pacgage but there is just one thing I cannot work out.Must Instant Scenery and its libraries be installed on the PC where I run FS9 from or can I do the design work on a laptop [which also has FS9 on it] and just copy over any bgl files I create?Many thanks for any help.David

If anyone has got some photos of Narita please contact me. Especially buildings and objects. Will be used for freeware scenery for FS9. FSX not sure about freeware yet, but will decide later.I have heaps but mostly of aircraft (or all!).Daniel
