Hi,does anyone know if there is a tutorial or anyone can help me and tell me how to make a landclass catalog which i can add own landclass texture. And where does the folder/bgl/xls where the LC Texture are located. And if i need to change the LC texture do i need to change some of the textures in The /scenery/world/texture Folder.Thanks,Kristian

Hi is there a WYSIWYG program to Edit and create landclass for fsx? And is there a Good tutorial for landclasses in sbuilderx.Thanks.

Hi allDuring the "VFR on Lario" development, we did not understand how to increase the number of trees placed with Annotator.The only way we know, at the moment, is to place a lot of small rectangles in each of terrain bloks, while the other suggested way (to put smaller rectancles inside of larger ones) does not run .Thanks in advance for any other suggestion.Bye and happy new year to everybodyAldo

Hi,Anybody knows whether it is possible to "divide" in two parts an airport, so as to have two Ground frequencies,e.g.Ground North & South. And of course make the ATC to follow it ?I know that FS9 ATC will use the first Ground frequency listed in Com list in airport's AFCAD.The question is whether ATC can use another one for the same airport and how can I do this ?Thanks for your time,Sotiris.

Hi i want to do a photorealistic scenery over a region but the scenery cant just be a square. Thats the problem i want to make a scenery like this. I also mean a simple program that allows me to draw the place i want to make scenery off and then add it to FSX.Thanks :D

Hi, a few months ago I saw a Kuala Lumpur but now I'm unable to find it. I have no clue if it was freeware or payware, however do you have a link for me?

Is it possible to take a scenery object (API etc) and add a light effect to it (like a street light) or even better download a street light macro with nice glowing light effect suing the default fs9 effects?Ive literally spent years on and off trying to achieve this but I always get stuck either with the exported files not being recognised by scenery design programs or errors that I cant find a solution for.Thanks

HiI already posted this question to the scenProc forum over at FSDeveloper but I thought I would ask here as well. ScenProc (Arno's wonderful utility) generates AGN files from shapefile data (typically obtained from OpenStreetMap-like sources.) It produces AGN files which have been introduced in the Texture folder for the corresponding photo Scenery folder. All this works fine.The only problem is that some of the OpenStreetMap data has vegetation polygons where I would not like them (read: covering lakes as well). So based on previous knowledge I tried to use FLX type exclusion poly over the lake areas. I have tested with ExcludeAutogen and also Flatten + MaskClassMap + E…

Hi all! I`m attempting to make Kimberly FAKM look more like the real thing but the Control Tower and Airport building is stuck in the wrong place,is there a tool to either move them or delete the offending buildings? :Praying:Have a great new year all!John Allen FAPE :(

Its been a while since I made scenery for fs2004 and ive forgot which programs were best. I want to place trees easily and then make them available for others without them needing to install the software (like Lagos and EZ scenery etc).I remember the old way with apt210 was to import a photo of the terrain then create trees then run fs2004 to check they were positioned properly, is this the only painful technique or is there a newer program available that lets me place objects while fs2004 is running (like with AFCAD).Ive been away for so long that a lot of the stuff people here have taught me has been forgotten but with a little help I can soon pick it up again.Thanks ve…

Can anyone post a link to an updated AFCAD for Imagine Sims KATL 2.0, as my AI traffic will not take off from 9L... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I use FS9 and I have a scenery for Cochabamba, Bolivia (SLCB). I had this scenery for a long time and I used it in the past without a problem. The scenery was downloaded from LAB virtual airlines. After adding a few AI flightplans, I noticed that the AI aircraft had their wheels sunk into the scenery. "flyable" aircraft seem to do fine. Is there something I neek to "tweak" in the scenery to correct that problem, or, am I out of luck?. The scenery creator can no longer be contacted. I would appreciate any suggestions. I have enclosed a picture for your view. (I hope it shows as I attached it from my pictures file)Thanks

Hi,I've decided to download the whole world with FSET :)Because i'm lazy, i'm currently letting it do the compiling to bgls. At some stage i'm probably going to want to improve some of the images and add water masks etc.I'm keeping the bmp files in the 'work' folder on the grounds that they should be useful sometime.Questions:Am i correct in thnking that these have the geo-data embedded? Or are they just normal bmp files? Do i lose any data if i maniplate in photoshop and then resave?What program would i use to compile these to bgls?I'm guessing the pretty white and purple bmp with the name 'mask' in the title is a...mask. What's the role of this if i'm compling bgls.Any …

This is VTBD and as I pan around in spot view, the ground textures change dramatically:Presumably the first is what was intended...Is this a fault with the programming or is it something I can correct? Sometimes if I create a flatten file it fixes things but my first effort didn't help in this case.Advice appreaciated, because like this the airport is not nice to fly from/to ...Thanks,Martin

Sorry, wrong forum, a "senior" moment.Best regards.Luis

Hi,I have a lot of Bluesky sceneries working without any problem but in San Francisco area I can't have the scenery displayed well : there are tiles of ground all over the bay and also on the pacific shores.There is no other addon, the install of FSX is new, and I unzip and install Bluesky scenery by the numbers, What is wrong there?Thanks a lot for your helpPierreFrench Private Pilot

Hey guys,This is my first time I started working on airport and scenery design. I've got the airport layout up to date and that part is working great. My biggest next project is to replace the ground textures at the airport and around the airport. If that is going to be too much for my skill level, the least I would like to do is get rid of the buildings Ultimate Terrain put on and around the airport property. I have downloaded Sbuilder 2.05 but it no longer has a working help file so I am lost with this program.I am pretty much blind in where to go and look for the tools to use for the project I am trying to do. I hope you guys will be able to help out!Thanks! :)

Is this the proper forum to ask questions about RW12, or is there a website for that purpose ?And does RW12 even work with FSX ? Seems all programs are for FS2004.Dave Hinson

Hello !In a tentative to populate Russia in FSX, I imported from my FS9 scenery a bunch of airport bgl files under the name “Russian light scenery”.It worked perfectly, except for the parking spots, which became strange black squares where the aircraft wheels are half submerged (they are OK in FS9). See attached image.Is there a way to easily correct this problem ? I already re-compiled the airport with ADE, but with the same result.Thanks for answering if you have an idea !Regards.Alain

Hello everyone. I have two freeware scenery requests for anyone who is looking for a good project. Here they are:1) Marquette Sawyer Airport (KSAW) Marquette, MI. The scenery would require making a completely new model for the terminal and other buildings. This is my hometown airport and I would love to fly into/ out of it with realistic scenery. A few new buildings/rearranging the tarmac a teeny bit is all it would need.2) Castle Rock, ME. This would be a much larger project, first off because the town doesnt exist. Castle Rock is a town that is featured in many Stephen King novels, and it would be very fun to fly into this creepy place.Just so you all know, I have no id…

Hi all,Does anyone know where the default jetway textures can be found in FSX? I have made a simple extension piece in Gmax that allows me to position the standard jetway further from the terminal (so the passengers don't have to jump ;-)) but I am having difficulty matching the textures with the default ones. I hunted high and low but nothing is called jetway.dds (or.BMP).Geoff

Hi there.Is somebody willing to make an improved, freeware scenery for KTPA? The runways are all misnumbered. I know it sounds easy to do with ADE but I don't know how to use the program. Is it easy? I might give it a try.Thanks.
