FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

I am going to attempt to build an Asian Airport for FSX. I will build it for FS9 as well, if I can receive some help.Can someone give me a general overview of what software you need.And what are the general steps to make a scenery.I can understand you need 3DSMAX for making new objects, such as buildings or jetways etc.I want to use photoreal scenery so maybe someone can tell me a general guide that will enlighten me?I looked at the tutorial that is stickied and I was lost just skimming over it.ThanksDaniel

hello,I have a question regarding placing a custom 3D object in my FSX.A few friends of mine have now finished the buildings for the airport I'm working on now, but now I can't get them into FSX. I have them converted to .mdl files and I have also created the librarys, but they don't show up in FSX. I have no idea how to use this now. Can someone tell me how to get my objects in FSX now?I'd be very thankful if I could get quick help from you.RegardsEmi

If I do get missing scenery files is there a utility that I can use to check in which BGL that library file is located or is there any other easy way to find such a missing library file to know which BGL is the culprit that refer to such a missing library file.I have added the entry below to my FSX.cfg[scenery] sectionMissingLibraryAlert=1I am now getting a missing library file message at one specific spot, but I need to know which BGL is containing the wrong reference so that I can follow that up with the developer.

Should have the complete post.Hello everyone.After trying to find some Photo real scenery to my liking, and not being very satisfied with what is available, I decided to look into it. These are some of the observations / findings that I think may be of some help to some of you. I created and modified the Coast area in SoCal from Malibu / Zuma beach to Dana point and east to Corona (AJO), and Catalina island, land only, no Airport improvments. See attached .doc file.If anyone has any questions / want some of it let me know.The pics I posted show the difference in a couple of the different methods used (5 and 6). TVI cannot post the.doc?Here is the text version.TVFSEarthTil…

I'm hoping someone can lead me to some decent replacement textures or complete scenery objects for the default FSX terminals. They are horrible. Chris Arrington did his magic in FS9 but they are not compatible with FSX and the library over at Flightsim doesn't come up with any either.Thanks

Hello,I am an FS2004 user. I recently downloaded a new scenery for the John Wayne airport from Avsim. The file is under: mkstudios_johnwayne_fs9.zipAfter installing the scenery I noticed that my aircraft was 'falling' as soon as I entered either runway.I decided to contact the scenery creator hoping to find a forum, which by the way, doesn't work. Their website link is:http://www.mk-studios.com.pl/I found a small section called "help" and found two files to fix the problem. The files did not include a readme file with instructions. I managed to install them, but after trying again, I still have the same problem. I made a very short video to show you: http://www.youtube.c…

Hi all , Have been away from FSX for sometime and would appreciate it if someone could remind me how l used to do it .l have several object libraries and what l want to do is the following . Select a .bgl out of the noumerous bgls of the librarythat l don't use , and find which textures the selected bgl is using .If l am not mistaken l used to use LibraryCreatorX , but when l try it now and import a .bgl , it will not show theobjects in the preview window .Thanks for feeback

Scenery experts,in my travels of using Airport Design Editor (ADE) to tweak airfields to better align with photoscenery underneith, I've noticed a good number of airports which have seemingly autogenerated objects which corraspond to terminals or hangars.These items appear as squared off blocks (*not related to the actual shape of the building), and they are tagged as being.. Library ObjectName: Autogenerated (unique identifer here)Category: Stock...etc. etc.Does anyone know of any tools which can help in editing/creating these types of objects?I'd like to improve upon some of the terminals and hangars found at various airports, but short of going through the full-on proc…

When I uninstalled an earlier version of Airport 2.0 I accidently deleted the .APT files I did foran Fs98 scenery project. I still have the .BGL scenery file and now I have Airport 2.6 installed. I'dlike to update the scenery for Fs2002, but I'm not sure which tools will do the job. I did sic "Scdis" onthe BGL in -Multi mode and came up with a set of 7 .sca files. When I imported the .sca files into Airport I was able to edit the FS98 Scenery up to a point. That point was the six or seven errors Igot when I tried to edit the objects...Error in GraphDraw Section:Initialize:6 OverflowZoom=1 xLoc/yLoc= 11664840:1997. I'm assuming that part of this might be the fact that the…

Please read through this short thread and let me know if there is a fix for this..thanks. Im new to running FSX and am in the process of making it look "nicer". Just installed UTX usa and already have a very nice improvement. Thanks for any help!!!!http://forum.avsim.net/topic/360333-airport-grass-polygons/

Jim and shadowzy,Thanks again for the help. I found out what the problem was, I didn't have SP1 and SP2 installed, now that everything is up to date the scenery displays just fine.Todd

Can someone tell me why this is happening and what a solution might be. I Installed FS Earth Tiles on a new computer. Windows 7 Home Premium, AMD Phenom x 4 3.0GHz, 8Gigs RAM, with a PNY Nvidia GeForce 430, 1G Video Card. The Photo Scenery has white stripes running thru it. (See Attached Images) These white stripes go away when flying over them showing the scenery just fine. If I zoom in from above it looks like water moving.Thanks,Todd

Hello everyone,Shadowzy here! I have been working on a better Maltese Islands Scenery which involves pretty much everything;mesh, photoreal scenery etc.Below are some of the work i did so far, i hope you like the pictures and if you have any recommendations, please go ahead and reply :)The Maltese island are right under Scicily (Italy) and the Airport ID is LMML, The pictures briefly show what i did on the sister island of Malta called Gozo so to get there you have to head west of LMML and see how ugly FSX default island is -__-"oh well xD:Best regards,Shadowzy

Hi Everyone,I have started a project: Photoreal Scilly for FS9 & FSX. I have created some photoreal tiles in sbuilder and compiled as BGL. When I have put the scenery into FS2004, it's in the correct space but under defualt scenery?Any help much appreciated,

Hi there,I am using SbuilderX to deploy photoscenery on some islands. I know how to do so but the problem is apperantely my Ram.I have 4gb DDR3 1800mhz, and the software is using round 1.3gb and as displayed in the image below i cant do more then those selected tiles. If i try to do so, the program will pop a window saying that the "map could not be created".Any idea how to atleast I can chose which tiles I dont want to show maybe it reduces the amount of ram being used?There is already a show/hide option but its for all the maps/tiles and still it doesnt help cause the memory usage wont get reduced.I have searched the help file but couldnt find any info regarding this is…

So I finally became frustrated enough with Tileproxy that I decided to do something about it. As ambitious as it is, I've thrown my computer headfirst into downloading photoreal scenery using FS Earth Tiles. I like the idea of having permanently downloaded scenery! I have been following a 4x4 degree grid as seen in the google earth image below. The green tiles indicate my current coverage after just a few days of work. The red tiles indicate scenery remaining. At this rate, I've calculated I'm going to need very roughly 1.5TB of storage for the US alone... but that's an entirely different subject! Perhaps I'll pick up a 3TB HDD when prices drop in the spring.As you can se…

Hi i have maked some mdl object and then add them to a library using librarycreator xml and then i add the xml to same folder as annotator.exe and i still cant see my mdl in library can anyone help me?.

I purchased ez scenery for fs9 some time ago. I've noticed with some scenery addons (mostly those who use other than ez scenery for their airports) that there might be a marshalling system/ramp worker and/or guides (those that stand and walk at the wingtips while an aircraft is taxing into a gate or being pushedback to the ramp). I was wondering if anyone out there who uses ez scenery has any of these types of textures that I might get and add to my scenery. I've searched and havn't been able to find anything that has been uploaded to any flight sim sites. If anyone has created anything like these for their scenery but has not uploaded them I would be grateful to have the…

Is there any of you AFCAD builders that would be willing to do scenery for KRDM for FSX for me. I am not a scenery designer myself so I do not know the work load that goes with building scenery. I would however be GREATLY appreciative if anyone was willing to do this. KRDM (Roberts Field) is my hometown and I have been looking everywhere for scenery but with no luck so here I am asking for it.

Can anyone help me please?I have transferred some airport scenery from FS9 to FSX, and found a few problems with some elements of the scenery. In particular, the transparency settings for things like trees, people, etc. have not worked. See the photo below. The black areas are transparent when I check them in the graphic program, but do not retain their transparency settings in FSX. No problems in FS9.Does anyone know how to alter the respective tree or people files to ensure that the transparency settings are correct?I have DX10 preview switched off, and have used Addon Coverter X to batch file the graphics conversions, but that did not help.Regards,Brian

Hello guys i just want to ask where i can find tutorias about the fs earth tiles? Many thanks in advance.

Hi guysSorry for creating many theards but That's What a beginner Do. I want to know if there is a tutorial or download on 3D Night lights that glow/casts light on the ground which give my scenery high Night reality instead of texture.Thanks,Kristian
