FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

I think I have looked everywhere...I cannot find good pics of Little Rocks terminal and surrounding buildings....I cant do the scenery otherwise...bummerhttp://www.avsim.com/posky/images/banners/gary_ban.gif

Question about your gmax tower your used as your macro example. Is the base an object rendered as a line, a box textured with alpha channel textures, or indivdual objects for posts?If this was done with a lines rendering, like we used to do in fsds by creating an "open" polygon...could you share how to do that? Much obliged!Bob Bernstein

Hey guysI thought about expanding my POSKY painting to scenery design...I used to be really into it back in FS98 days, I did a couple airports.But anyways...Can I use Airport 2.6 on FS2002? Or is there a better free program? I wanna redo the default Little Rock Adams Field to start with. And if I build an aiport....how do I get it to lay perfectly on top of the default one? I never understodd how to getthat to work.Thanks and that should be it for now.http://www.avsim.com/posky/images/banners/gary_ban.gif

Hey all, I made an airport using Airport, can't remember the exact version, but it was 140 or somthing like that, the one I have now is 149. I made the taxiways using polygons, so I could make centrelines on top. I made taxiway edgelights using a road, a layer higher than the taxiway polygon, using a road, 1 feet wide, so it was in fact an edgeline and edgelights at night. The thing is, I used the same procedure on a new airport using 149 and the lights do not show. Any ideas on how to make the lights? Using the taxilight thing in the Airport doesn't work either, the light simply won't show. Thanks, Leandro [email protected] www.FSBR2002.hpg.com.br Porto Alegre …

I have a question concerning an ILS I wish to add at an airport. I have tried and tried, and can't seem to get it to line up properly.Springfield-Branson Regional (KSGF) just recently brought online ILS for runway 14. Using the data I retrieved from Airnav.com, I used three different programs to attempt to insert this ILS into my scenery, and not a one of them has worked properly. It winds up setting the ILS about 2 1/2 miles north of the airport, no matter what I do.I've used..well, actually, just two...programs to place the ILS. I've tried Architect, which has a seperate function for ILS, and I've used Airport 2.60, and disassembled the BGL file I created with Archi…

Arno,Thank you very much for the nice tutorial you put at your web site.I shall examine it thoroughly. With my newfound knowledge you and Bob Bernstein have provided it looks like the sky is the limit! Nopun meant. Folks this is a must tutorial on creating macros for use with Airport etc..best regards,George B.

Hey,I wounderd how I easiest can create a hill or a higher part of the terian in FSSC?RegardsThomas

Hi,Is there a simple way to make taxiways show like FS2002 default ones (Build 149) ? I mean side lines, round links, hold lines... whithout having to modify the *.sca file ?Thx, Brgds

Hi all,Today I registered for acccess to this forum. So yes I am a newbie. Question.Would someone be willing to either post here, or email me all the required steps in producing a API file that can be used in Airport260 or lets say FS Scenery Creator, where I create the source using Gmax, export it to the FSREGEN directory ( I am using newest makemdl, middlman, and fsregen)?I hate to bother Georgio just now with more questions, it appears that he only gets some four hours of sleep per day. But by email he told me he has plans on updating his documentation for many of the new tools he has included as of v029c.I have been using FSREGEN for some two weeks now with suc…

1. What program or macro do you use to add trees?2. Is there a macro or texture to put a chain link fence around a parking lot? Surely, people would not draw the whole fence, would they?I am using FSDS and Airport 2.6Thanks for your help,John Woodward

Hey gyes,Started on my first Scenery this morning(Entebbe Intl, Uganda) Just woundered if anyone knew which settings in the runway box need to be used to get these runway/approach/threshold lights. I am using Airport 2.60.Kind RegardsThomas

Georgio or someone posted the ability of FSRegen to now allow ground polygons to be made in GMAX. Can someone tell me are there any differences from normal 3d GMAX objects? What is the method?Also does this ground poly still suffer from the FSDS 3mile vis limitation?ThanksShez

Don't you think it's time that you added a GMAX Model Library so we can start sharing some GMAX models?Some people might not be into making scenery but can contribute in creating GMAX models.We need our own library. We don't want to be searching for hours through the FS2002 Scenery Library for GMAX files.Macros are DEAD, the way of FS2002 is GMAXWhat's everyone think?I really need some GMAX static a/c.............http://members.rogers.com/jkanold/jimlogo.gifhttp://members.rogers.com/eelvish/flyurl.gif

I've just learned enough about how to use Airport For Windows (AFW) to create flatten bgl files to repair problems with pavement at airports. It seems like overkill for such a small task, and a bit inconvenient to use.So, I have written a small AWK script to write the SCASM script, using a simple text file with the airport elevation and coordinates of the vertices of the area to be flattened (counter-clockwise order). No AFW needed. (And I have no knowledge of SCASM/scenery, hence this request.)It takes a text file named flatten.txt as input--------------------------------------------------441239:28.78 -119:45.8239:29.68 -119:45.8239:29.68 -119:45.28----------------…

Hey everybody,First timer in this part of the Forum...Woundered if anyone knew of a tortual to set me into creationing of airpoert scenerys for FS2002. I am really keen on making a Entebbe(HUEN) scenery. Kind RegardsThomas Kibuuka

Any designers out there thinking of redoing Ontario Internationl in Ontario CA. It has new beautiful passenger terminals and is a big UPS hub. Thanks.

Whenever I try to load the Mooney in "Create Flight" I get this error message from FS2K2: "Scenery library object not found".It gives me a few hex numbers belonging to the objects that are apparently missing: 0x47BC6DFB, 0x11D2F98A, 0x1000849C and 0x2AE60C5A.I reloaded the aircraft-folder from CD, but that didn't fix it.Does anyone know where to look on the CD for these missing objectsor is able to translate those hex-numbers to files in which these sceneries are so I can look them up and re-load them?Thanks for the help!R.

Since I dont have a clue how it all works, maybe someone in here with some time to spare can work it out.Recently I saw a screenshot in the screenshots forum where someonefaked an nuclear detonation. It was at New York. Its not that what I am after :-) but the size of the effect wasbig.So, one could do this also with a smoke effect, to display a forrestfire. Preferrable in the are close to an airport to make the approach a bit harder.With http://www.echos.ch/eod/index.html one can with FSEFFECTS add effects, thus smoke also, to scenery.Who can try this out? The effect need to be BIG of course!I am sure there can be other ideas, like chimney smoke, of from powerplants?Joha…

G'day everyoneJust wondering whether anyone had a fix to a problem I (and a few others) have encountered while working with the FX SDK tools. In placing an effect into the FS world using BGLplacer.exe and BGLC.exe, I have found that BGLC.exe will not convert the .csv file generated in BGLplacer if I have stipulated any co-ordinates in the southern hemisphere. Everything else is fine, but if i put a "S.--* --.--" into the lat/long, it will not generate a BGL.Does anyone know a way of overcoming this?? Thanks for any helpCheersJarrad

I would like to brighten up the light settings in FS2K2, like we use to have in FS2K, which I thought were very good.I understand this maynot be very realistic, but is there any way this can be done, many thanks.Best Wishes,ChrisEGBB

I would like to change the ground textures in FS2K2 especially on the aprons and the grass textures, especially at KORD, KSFO and EGLL.Is there any way this can be done. For personal preference I quite like the grass textures at LIMC Milan Malpensa, is there anyway of copying them across? to KORD, KSFO, and EGLL. I know thgis may not be realistic, but that's I would prefer.Many thanks and best wishes,chrisEGBB

I guess this is new its from M$ its on zone.msn.flightsim sight.has anyone else tried this? What did you think? I thought it would be descent cuz its a 20+meg download...but I was less than impressed. I thought it would be like the fly-in w/lots of planes and tents...but not much added on at all...it did inspire me to start a new project...oshkosh.

Is any one working on an add on scenery for the Greater Toronto area

Hi AllI still C'ant Solved The Problem to make a lamp light on my scenery ther is'nt a light beam but on thes I give up. I try "FSREGEN" and another tutorials but notheng works ( maybe my english )so I change the way and try to make a ground polegon thet will have a night texture with "plane object"- Gmax and get shadow I Change the code in the *.asm by delting the "shadow_call object_0_scale"and "addcat object_0_scale, 8" I compiled it with BGLC and steel have the shadow, ther is 2 screenshot of my test's PLEASE HELPDavid

Hello,in the FS2000 Scenery SDK is written, that I can include BGL CODE also in a FS2002 module.I only have to call the BGL graphics interpreter. But how does that work?Thank you for your help.Greetings,Marcel
