question? how do i import a object i have made in G-max and import it in to the airport 2.6 program using middleman fsregen.Thanksgreg

Hi,I'd like to buy the program "Europe Scenery Pack" for FS2002 but I have some questions to ask you : - If I buy "Europe Scenery Pack", do I have to buy FS LandClass ? Can I only use "Europe Scenery Pack" ?- How much is "Europe Scenery Pack" ?- How to use this pack ? Is it "ready-to-use" or do I have to do a lot of work to use it with FS2002 ?- How is the pack file size to download ?- Once I've downloaded the "Europe Scenery Pack" ONLY, what do I have to do to use it with FS2002 ? Please answer me as soon as possible ... Best Regards, Damien BRUNET.

I've been unsuccessfully trying to get autogen scenery to show up on my photo mosaic textures. I'm using Architect 2002 and a Photo Mosaic of DXT1 textures. I've used the Autogen utility in FSSDK to define vegetation and building areas but nothing shows when I go into FS2002. Any ideas?

can somebody please help mei have followed the the v0.20b fsregen pdf, installed middleman made the temp folder ectmade the triangle and scenery in gmax eported it into the fsrgen folder with keep all files ticked, the rest all defultsopened regen opened the "temp file"(temp asm) and in the 2 select mapping color dropdown box there is nothing to selectwhat am i doing wrong? is it that my settings in middle man are wrong or is it something else.Thanks

Hi Guys, I'm really DesperateI have fought and battled to make my sceanery, using Arch2002 and Airport 2.6, treachous learning curve!!!!!Not a large airfield, two hangers and two Portacabin buildings, ideal first project I thought.Now in order to get decent frame rates, 24fpm, using Gary Summons Birmingham (EGBB), as a comparision. I am having to put to many details that I have constructed on to either, dense or very dense. I am using FSDS for macro's I have constructed and Gerrish Grays trees, in close scale to construct hedgerows.I am trying to learn about scasm code but have only found Justin Tymes, Facts 2.1 web page and Scasm doc's.May be the Graphic frontend progr…

i can only find japanese instructions (which alas i am unable to read) and i can't get his kansai to work properly in 2k2. any help would be gratefully received.

Question about making macros with G-max i have made some docking gates with g-max is there a program for importing them into airport 2.60 and is there a tutorial for doing this. ThanksGreg

Hi,Following some excellent advice from Arno, I downloaded and am using Groundmaker 4.0 beta with great results, I have now decided to redesign the whole airport!Now need some parked aircraft (the place is very lonely) I can't face designing 20 Gmax planes just for parking around around the place so I thought would try the API macro thing. Its worked fine for the odd horse and parked car but none of the parked aircraft seem to work.Everything compiles OK but nothing shows up, could it be the texture files? (they are ?AF I thought about replacing them all with DXT and editing the API text to match)Any ideas?Geoff

Hi,I have made all the taxiways and runways in my update for Dubai Intl. (FS2000) but I can't get the taxiway lines to show. I have the green center-line lights at night but during the day nothing. I tried using textured roads, then textured taxiways with a width of 1m. I've been fiddling with the layers as well but it isn't helping. I'd appreciate any help.Cheers.

Is anyone else getting errors when trying to compile with the new Taxiway Edge Line in the Lines and Lines of Objects menu? I'm getting some SCASM erros when I was trying to test them.Thanks

Hi Bob:It's been awhile and my FL project is coming along nicely now. Thank You. If you're interested I'll send a screenshot or two of some of my creations.I started looking for a different scenery software that I could use in both FS2000 and FS2002. The primary reason for my quest is that ASD is eliminating the TZ lighting at those airports where it exists in the default .bgl and ASD doesn't support that feature and I'm not computer smart enough to attempt to alter the scasm code...at least not yet.As you know, I've been using ASD and I recall that you recommended Airport 2.60 in another thread (which seems to be the standard as far as available macros are concerned) …

Hi to all, this is my 1st post in this forum and I have seen that it is attendend by very friendly and, most important, qualified designers.The reason of my post here is to know whether someone has got an idea on how to make the taxy signs (the FS2K2 default yellow stripes on the ground) made via scasm command "TaxiMarkings" to look larger, for I made them in my scenery , but they are really very thin. I have tried to change the scale factor in "Refpoint" but it also changes the lenght of each section and the stripes are even misplaced.I only need to increase the width of the stirpes: do You think it could be done increasing the size of the default taxisigns bitm…

Greetings,Does anyone know how those flashing lights as in the approach lighting system that we get with the runway command are implemented? Apart from the animation bit how to get that sort of brightness and size? A close up to such system gives a clue to what I am asking!Thanksjmf

Hallo altogether,I am trying to program a programm like FSsceneryEnhancer, which creates 3D objects and imports them into flightsimulator.Is it possible in a bgl file to set the position by a variable which is controled by my module or gauge?Do you know or think how lago made fssceneryenhancer?Thank you for you help.Greetings,Marcel Burr

John Dow has done such a good job of improving the colours in my ACT scenery that I had to upload it so it was available. It blends very well with the surrounding default scenery.I have uploaded my scenery to my old site as ACT2k_col.ZIP. Once I have done some good night textures to match I will upload the new version to AVSIM.You can download at http://members.ozemail.com.au/~paeet/Patrick [email protected]

Hi all.As promised, fsregen will now make the shadows look right.Use polygons on the ground to add taxilines, skidmarks, illuminated spots grass or anything else you like.Make sure all points have a height of 0 (in gmax). Then click on "Ground Polys" and the resulting scenery will display correctly with shadows falling on top.No need to use the ZBIAS_ prefix in the material editor; it will be done for you.The method I followed dependent on the number of polys on the ground, improves frame rates too.There is more optimization that can be done, but the new X-plane is out... :-)Hope you enjoy it.Thanks to Derek and Arno for talking about it...Georgehttp://www.nhreas.com/imag…

Just bought that wonderful Waco AC and want to add more hangars. What program do I need for the included API file to add more hangars to existing sceneries?A "Direct Link" would be great, thanks!-Brad

Hi all.My "Nevada" (as in test place) has now concrete all over and a very nice large pond...It works by defining rectangle areas in gmax (don't forget to convert them to editable meshes).Use the method described in the (urgently needing update) manual with "special materials". Select "Ground Type" in the dropdown list of step 3 and select the desired ground type (in parameters): CONCRETE, GRASS_LANDABLE, WATER, GRASS_BUMPY, ASPHALT, GRASS_SHORT, GRASS_LONG, HARD_TURFI rewrote all the math stuff greatly improving accuracy but bugs are expected :-)Hope you enjoy it.George

Hi2 Questions : how do I save or export my G max object as X format ( also to load it to the makemdl lod window ) as it been instruct in the makmdl sdkalso:how can I make a rectangle in G MAX and make it look ALLWAYS facing the camera in flight simulator ,,,, (like a logo showing it face anywhere you turn arround it,,,)danny

HiDo anybody know how to

Hi,I'm updating Dubai Intl. FS2000 came woth only one runway. I built my airport using Apt 2.60 and made the AFD and exclusion file to go with it. The exclusion works to get rid of the visual aspect of the original airport but despite everything I try the fequencies are still active and I can't get the old airport to disappear from the Flight plan page. So instead of two runways I have three! I would apprecaite any help on this.Cheers.

hello,As you know FS snaps points of polygons and that results in non alligned taxilines for exemple. Actually I am trying desperatly to trace lines that touch each others perfectly. In my scenery program they are touching each others but FS snaps the point to a specific coord that results in spaces between lines that should be touching.The only way to fix them is to make trial and erros and move the points in the scenery program then recompile and reload in FS2002 to see how it looks in FS and that takes forever with FS2002 loading time...So do you have any idea or trick on how to get around this issue?Is there any spcific rule of thumb that FS uses for that?Thanks!Miche…

Hello,Can anyone please explain to me how to make and use a library of objects in FS2002? How to make the library and with what program can we place the object in an easy way?CheersMichel

As to save space I use the same thread to inform you that the online fsregen is now back in order.Rotate as much as you like :-)G.Previous post:Don't mesh with your release code....Sorry to all of you trying to get your fs summer swimming set up and your new taxiways smooth...Get v0.26b.Will not work if you define rotation in makemdl.. Working on it..CheersGeorge

can anyone recomend a good program for making docking gates or docking systems for 2002 pref wysiwyg programeThanx
