FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

Hi guys,I'm trying to relocate a small island to the west of Puerto Rico called Desecheo. Apparently the island was misplaced in the default scenery. I'm trying to use SbuilderX v3.13 to do the job but I'm having problems with it. For some reason the option "set as a hole" for polys is not working and it remains on after selecting the parent hydro poly. Is it a bug?Thanks!Jay

I'm using EZ Scenery in FS9. I've been unable to locate any static object libraries that contain float planes. I've searched the libraries and the forums both here and at Flightsim with no luck. Any help would be greatly appriciated.Al

I am looking for someone willing to make the New River Gorgee Bridge. This bridge at time was the Worlds Longest single arch bridge. It is on the back of our West Virginia Quarter. I can provide you with photographs, and bridge data.There iss a file on Avsim that was done several years back for me but is not compatible for FSX.

Hi,I would like to reposition a building, I have a bgl file, a XML, and of course a BMP file. I want to reposition the building now in FSX. What file have I to change and what extension has it and what program do I need to edit it? Or can I add a new file to position it in the FSX into the Addon-Scenery?Thanks in advantage.

hi again... I'm trying to add a missing taxiway at Manila's International Airport... I've used AFCAD for FS9 and ADE... but it doesn't appear when I fire up FS9...That particular taxiway is almost identical to another adjacent taxiway, both connect to the same runway... I just wanted to copy that taxiway to make the missing one...I'm using mia08.zip for manila...how do I do it?

Hi, folks.

Hi AllI have been flying FSX with the stock airports for a while now, but really i would like to update some. I found some airports at the ScruffyDuck download centre which i would like to use.I am wanting to change London Luton, which i found using FSXPlanner in APX47130.bgl but i know that these files contain more than one airport. So how can i just remove the Information for Luton Only .... ?What do i need to decompile, remove & recompile or is there a better method ?Many Thanks

Hello,When I tries to add scenery that has its own folder in the "addon scenery" folder the FSX can't find any usefull files in the folder to add. But if I move the scenery files directly to the "addon scenery" then it works just fine in the sim :( . I have compiled my new scenery with ADE but the problem is for all scenery I have tried to add in a folder. I have tried to add the scenery in scenery.cfg but the sim doesn't care.I have: FSX Deluxe edition and Win7 64-bit /flygarn1

I changed a medium to heavy gate parking, and found the yellow taxi line is no longer in the centre or aligned with the heavy bracket - see attached pic.I have tried changing the width of the taxi link, reattached the jetway, etc., but cannot get the line to move.What has caused this or how can it be fixed?

Hi all,I am attempting to add a small wing to a default FS9 terminal building.Everything looks great except the roof texture does not match, in this case LightGravelRoof.bmpIn the picture below the default terminal is on the right and my addon is on the left. The top section is the roof texture and for the bottom section I replaced LightGravelRoof.bmp with a solid white LightGravelRoof.bmp to verify both were using the same texture.Is there any way to get them to match?Thanks in advance for your consideration.regards,Joe

Hi,About 5 months ago I (and many others) bought the new FS2004 Aerosoft's EHAM scenery.Like all new software it contained bugs which is no problem, if they just get fixed after a while.However it took the developer 4 months to release a patch, and (among others) one of the most annoying bugs still hasn't been solved. :( Issue:2 (rather long) sections of taxiway A and B along RWY24 have a friction problem.Although it looks like tarmac, it feels like a dirt strip (actually you also see dirt jumping off the wheels when taxiing over it)This friction bug causes you have to taxi at about 60% N1, which is very annoying.Question:Since I don't expect a patch in the forseable futu…

I have recently installed Flight 1's excellent Ultimate Terrain Europe for FS2004. One of the side effects of this program is that it leaves any buildings and landmarks in their incorrect positions which were set by the default MS scenery. This is certainly apparent with London City Airport (EGLC) which is closely associated with the Canary Wharf towers, the Thames Flood Barrier etc. I have a freeware scenery for London City and Canary Wharf, but these place the towers according to the default MS scenery, and therefore they end up standing in the middle of the River Thames. What I would like to do is to simply adapt this freeware scenery and move all the landmarks to thei…

Im using EZ-Scenery.I am trying to place objects at a particular airport, yet these objects dont show up.However if i move to another airport and place objects, they do show up.What is it with this particular airport that wont allow the placement of objects?I have previously placed objects there without a problem, yet not now.AFCAD created aprons and taxiways show up at this airport, but not objects created with EZ.Any ideas?

I've read through tons of topics with the word "landclass" in it.

Why does my fuel truck disappear when I call it using Ctrl-F in my AFCAD?I used ADEX to create a network of vehicle (pink) taxipaths and (green) linked them to a (pink) vehicle parking spot where the fuel truck is initially parked. When I call for fuel, I see the truck disappears before me :( Also, is it possible to get vehicle airport objects (e.g., CaterTruck Euro) to move along the taxipaths?

I've been trying to install the SDK , read the instructions but don't see the "Tools" menu in game. Running Win7 64 and MS FSX Deluxe Edition SP2 I've downloaded the following files.. SDK SP 1a .exe; SDK.msi (which I was pointed to as SDK SP2). First thing I did was install the SDK from the original game DVD. Then I installed SDK SP 1a .exe (which told me it was removing prior versions). Then I installed SDK.msi which also told me it was removing prior version. (this one had a nice pretty picture). I tried both "quick flights" and "missions" but never did see the "Tools" menu. The SDK is installed in : "C:Program Files (x86)Micr…

I spent hours making a full runway, complete with masks, blended edges, tire marks. I even got it placed perfectly in FSX. Now the bad news. I noticed the texture flickering and after some research, it seems I need to be tweaking some .asm files. It also seems that fsx gamepack doesn't even support asm files. So am I pretty much screwed with fsx gamepack?

Hi Folks,Hope this is the best place to pose this question.

I have a great set of night/winter textures installed in my scenery\world\texture folder but today being the 19th. they were replaced by the default squares that will remain until October :( I would like to extend my winter textures (perhaps with a little colouring for Summer)into the Summer season. Is this possible as they are far superior than the default fs9.vololiberista

I have recently been working to build some new freeware scenery's for distribution and am learning & relearning (over 50 years old disease) to use some tools and such to accomplish the task.This question related to: Kahului Apt, MauiRather then rebuild from scratch, I downloaded and installed in FSX the following scenery.Kahului International Airport, Maui, Hawaii PHOG "kahu2", from AVSIM. This scenery is by Bill Melichar and by and largely is compatible with FSX.The exception is that Bill placed a good number (hundred or so), palm trees and vegetation around the airport. These show up with the texture file showing the tree and are not transparent and therefore show …

Hello All,FS Altitude was first bought to my attention in the Flightstore magazine with PC Pilot as was quite tempted after looking at the screenshots on their website, is the Western European package any good, for the price it is, i'd like to receive some feedback on the product before i jump into the deep end and buy, can anyone shed some light on the product please, i've heard very little about it?Regards,

I have designed some simple things for other simulators, but not for FS9.

Hey guys, I'm a game developer for a major game studio, and I'm slowly getting my feet wet with FSX SDK and SBuilder. I've learned some basics, as far as importing satellite imagery and exporting as a usable BGL file that FSX sees. So here are my questions:Once it downloads the satellite imagery, I want to start painting on the images, but there are so many, and so many different pieces. Whats the best way to approach this?How do I apply photorealistic imagery to the taxiways? I saw a tutorial on this but it uses an older SDK. I'd like to know how using FSX SDKLast but not least, how do I delete models from FSX's default scenery? Basically I'm re-doing SFO for FSX. There …
