Ans. Fillet/Chamfer, it's a modifier that let's you convert a spline vertex into a filleted corner (rounded) or a chamfered corner. It only works on vertices that connect straight segments. To use it select shape, then apply the fillet/chamfer modifier. The vertex Sub-Object level is automatically opened allowing you to select a vertex for editing. You can either select a vertex and enter a fillet or chamfer value in the Edit Vertex rollout, or you can set a fillet ot chamfer value first, then select a vertex and click the apply button.

Good day-I am actually working with airport2.6 b148 to create a scenery.(With EOD api and citybuilder) I have done the first village A ,with one bgl and the next town B(Embrun French Alps),another bgl,distance 7 miles.When i am flying from A to B no problem,all is fine.When i am flying from B to A,just above B,the program crash,with the usual microsoft message.Only a road join the two bgl,no flatten mixed.The causes of the crash explained in microsoft error messages are various ,I am not able to have help With it.I have no problem flying with only one of the two BGL.I hope for somebody help me.(Perhaps TED or J.R.?)Thanks for advance DANIEL

Hi.I'm looking material (maps,charts,photos etc.) for my upcoming Rimini scenery for FS 2002.I have searched almost every possible places on the net with bad success. From airliners.net i found fewphotos but they weren't good and i visited www.riminiairport.com but it's still a bit underconstruction. I know there's a scenery of Rimini available in flightsim.com but it doesn't match at all with the real airport.I have visited in Rimini many times but haven't really taken any photos from there and i don't know when i willnext time visit there. I would be very pleased if someone could help me :).So if you have any photos or live near the airport and could take some or just w…

Hi, can anybody tell me how to remove an island from msfs, and replace it throug a new, self created one?TurakBy the way, have you got some tips how to bulit that new island most easily?

You may want to see what FS2002 textures with Terrascene 2.1 can do for Flight Unlimited 3. Rescaling of the TS2 output is requred to take the 4.8m/pixel textures to the 4.0m/pixel used by FU3.http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID21Rick

Some time ago, someone asked if you could exclude something as small as a fuel square. Again, another person asked a similar question about excluding a default building. I wrote this to help but only today learned how to include images and text together in a message, thanks to "steve". So, here's a reprint of the tutorial incase anyone needs this technique.*************************************************************Creating a selective exclude area in fs2002Use "top down" view from fs2002/views drop down/view mode. Slew until your crosshairs are at the NW corner of the object you wish to exclude.htt://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3ce5a19429c288c4.jpgWrite down the…

Hi scenery designers, does anyone know of a KJFK scenery other than Airport 2000 (it sucks) I havent found anything good so far, does anyone know if someone is working on one?Thanks alot,Ben AlfoldiCEO Project AI

I use a vertical scenery screenprint in FS2002 fromm an airport in Airport2.60 as background in order to design the parking, buildings etc.But what ever i do i got at deviation of about 200 meters...What am i doing wrong? Or is it not a good thing to use a sceenprint; do i have to use a map or photo?thanks bert

Hi,I am designing a Reno style raceway in Airport 2.60 (b.148), and am in need of some 150ft high pylons, I've searched all over the place with no luck. If anyone knows where I could find some it would be a grat help.Thanks in advance

Hi all.Christian Stock's new TMF macros show the great promise for FS2002 style decals and flattens. Part of Christian's philosophy is to free himself from SCASM or BGLC, and write code that may be directly assembled from MASM... assembly language coding.I didn't look forward to having to learn MASM, and the problems with gathering the basic tools.While looking at the BGLC code with a hex editor, I noticed the same include files needed by MASM were already inside BGLC. All that was missing, was the new TMFmacros.inc and the Scenery.inc that Christian supplied with his "nzrc.zip" file, available here at AVSIM. So, I added the following lines to the start of Christian's "NZ…

I need info on FS Architect,i want to make good freeware scenery.So contact me on icq#147022387 or msn [email protected] you :DP.s is FS Architect the best scenery designer?

Hi all, I have modelled buildings and stuff before using EOD, airport 2.6 and stuff and even writing API code by hand. However, GMAX has me beat! I cannot even get a rectangular building from the program. The help means nothing to me either as the terms are too complex for the simple objects I want to build. So can you experts point me to web sites or other docs or tutorials which get get me started? the help from MS made no sense! I have read many of the posts on this board and have seen some of the related tools. However, can someone pull all these together for me in a list of links in order of simplicity?Regards, Tony

OK the default chimney's for example.How or can one replace all the default chimney pole looking ones with those of Airport for Windows, or must one replace each individual object?Richard;

Hi as I am not a "codehead" (yet LOL) I was woundering if it's possable to selectively set mipmapping on meshes done in gmax? Dan http://members.rogers.com/klasik2/danlogo.gifhttp://members.rogers.com/eelvish/flyurl.gif

Can anyone tell why no one wants to design French airports? I've searched for all the big ones, CDG, Orly, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice, Marseilles...... The list goes on. All i've found is CDG, two payware versions of orly for Fs2000 and one Fs2000 version of bordeaux. I'm sure there is a demand for them. Most of the rest of Europe seems to pretty well covered for the major airports but there's a big hole where France should be. Maybe noboby likes France?!

What utility/program/sdk is best and easiest to use to add ILS's to existing FS2K2 scenery? Freeware if available.Very new to this area.ThanksBill

Hi Gang, still adding gmax skills to my repetoire. I'm able to create gmax models, compile them as library objects, and place them in scenery using standard scasm calling macros. I'm also able to add nite lights to the models if I compile them as standalone bgl files (the attachment was compiled as a standalone bglc file).What I haven't been able to do is to convert the standalone to a library object, call that object using scasm, and still see the night lights. Anyone able to do that? If so, is it as simple as it seems it should be? If so, perhaps I got confused and invoked the wrong file in my library or something dumb like that.Bob Bernstein

Just curious if anyone knows where (if possible) you set the night textures options. Cant seem to find it and though I see .lm bitmaps for night textures I cant seem to figure out where they go. Otherwise Im making some sweet hangars etc and like this program a lot.Hornit

hello!i've trying to make my first scenery for FS2K2,as i can't get this "airport" from anywhere,just because it doesn't exist in reality!so i managed to build the runway,make a flatten area because of mountains,add navaids to the runway,add a building,a parking area and taxiways.but there are some problems:my parking area(made with road texture)and my taxiways(i've just click taxiway on airport menu)do appear on scenery but when a plane is taxing it,it's the same as if it was in the grass(there's dust projection,and the plane make little jumps)!how can i do?thanks

Hi Everyone,I was wondering if anyone is in the middle of, or planning, development of Essendon Airport scenery for FS2002 standard?Colin Lock's effort is fantastic but in FS2002 really messes up and it's becoming a bit of an eyesore.If anyone's interested, then I also have some great ideas for the Melbourne city area in general: - Point Cook airport - Moorabbin airport - Melbourne airport - Melbourne CBD, complete with Ansett, ANZ Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Rialto, Crown, Southbank, World Trade Centre, Exhibition Centre, MCG, Arts Centre buildings, etc. - The Alfred Hospital, complete with over-the-road helipad - Royal Children's Hospital, complete with rear helipad …

Anyone have the address of that site which had great colour satellite photos of the US? Not the MS terraserver site but I think it also had street maps etc.ThanksShez

Hey!, The default FS2002 new york scenery is good...but it has flaws. Look at the empire state building! It is very short and stubby. Look at the brooklyn bridge...you can clearly tell its from fs 5.0. and look at that horrific thing they call jfk airport...from fs 5.0. All the bridges in the area look like matchstick bridges. please please any scenery developers...please do new york city. the fs2000 empire state building looks more realistic. see for yourself please help.thanksmoses
