FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

Does anybody know where to get Lars Hoyer's AGenT autogen placement tool? The official link at http://my.chillstation.de/ looks dead, searches at Avsim, Flightsim, FS Developer, Scenery.org and Google show no working results :(Thanks in advance.Best regards from Colombia,Luis Miguel

Yeah. Is there possible to get a cameraview that will follow the aircraft from the ground?I dont know if this is classified as advertising(just tell me and ill delete it), but in this video: in 01.40, you can see exacly what i mean. I know think the camera"shake" is edited in a movieprogram, but the view isnt. Also, is there a way to smooth out the camera zoom in fsx? It jumps very fast right now and i want it to look like a camera-zoom.hope youll help me out with this one! Thank you for your time.yours sincerely, fsMandolf.

I have downloaded a freeware scenery from Avsim.Some of the hangars at the airport seem to disappear when panning view around and dont come back.They are still visible by their transparent outlines though.Whats happening?I think the scenery originally was FS9.

Hello All, Running Fs9 + XP.--- Using Google Earth, I am able to obtain the coordonates of a small island that does not show in the FS9 map.I'd like to be able to create it and grow sceneries ( building +trees). The actual island has a cove receiving amphibian aircrafts. Using FSSC, I drew a polygon shaped like the island, at zero altitude. Next I'd like to flatten, solidy the area and possibly start building the sceneries. I assume this to be the correct approach. I am open to all suggestions, in term of techniques and application softwares. I don't expect to recreate a visible island in the map, but all facilities will appear.Thank youBob Bance

I am am having trouble with the gate positions on some airports. (addon scenery). I am using RFP B747-100. It seems the plane will not position itself properly. The nose wheel is not where it is supposed to be and in some cases the nose in penetrating the building. I have been playing around with the afcad file and nothing seems to work. Other 747s align properly. Any comments will be appreciated.Paul

hello guys,as I resumed my work on ENTO2009 Oslo Torp Airport scenery, I'm desperately looking for recent picures of airport buildings. I've already googled everything but the stuff I own is never enough :) So I kindly ask to everyone who own photo of Torp, to drop me a PM or reply this thread. Norwegian guys which lives near airport are welcome :Dmany thanks!alberto

I've been working for a while on my interpretation of ORF for FSX using ADE, and I've activated the cross runways so the smaller planes will use the shorter runway (14/32) as they sometimes do in real life. However, a side effect of this is that I have my commercial traffic using it as well. It's rather disconcerting to see an AA MD-80 or a WN 733 trying to land on a 4800 ft runway. Is there a way I can keep them from doing this? I closed a couple of links of one end of that runway, but to no effect. Would changing the width do anything?

Hi GuysI dont know anything about producing an AFCAD :( I would like to ask if anybody has done an AFCAD or any scenery for BKPR, If not would it be possible for one of you experts to produce a current AFCAD.The reason is I fly for British Airways Virtual and there is a BA shedule I am able to fly but i think the FS9 is out of date.Any ideasRegards Mike Lyle

Hello friends.. Im new to this whole FS scene and i hope youd help me out.I don't like the airport ground textures (such as the "lines", taxiways and runways). They look too perfect to be real, plastic if you wish.Is there anyone who has edited these textures and made them more "rough"? I want them! For free of course. :( Also i have another question, but thats a little bit off topic, i just dont want to make a hundred threads.Is there a way to find out the coordinates in the aircraft? I want to make a nice wingview for my aircraft. I know how to do, but i need the numbers to be correct, and thats haard for me :)Thank you for your time!Best regards from Sweden!

I have modified many airports using SbuilderX and Google Earth ground textures, I have never uploaded any of these because I was worried about the Google copyrights.Does anyone know if Google would object? As long as I don't make and money doing this and credit Google for the use of their images...Geoff

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a simple idea or knew where i could obtain some simple animated moving car objects that i could simply use with EZ sceneryThanksJackDeluxe Sceneries

I just bought the Asia/Africa landclass from Cloud9. The price was right, US$10, but when I started comparing it with the default landclass in Tmfviewer, the default seems to have more granularity in some areas. That's in Asia. In Africa, you can see right away that the Cloud9 landclass is more subtle.Is there a way I can mask off the bad parts of Cloud9 so that the default landclass is used instead? Thank you for any help.

How do I add red stop bars at rwy holding points? I have some ISD airports such as Venezia. Roma etc., where the red stop bar changes to green as the a/c is about to cross it. I know that one of the halo.bmp lights is used. I have also seen "very small" rwys used as well. Any help would be appreciatedVololiberista

Just installed clean Windows 7 professional and FSX + Acceleration, (new harddrive)Everything seems OK (Joystick, FSforce, FSUIPC etc.) but I can't install any of my scenery files using the normal "Add Sceney" option - it just doesn't work. The only way to do it is to copy the contents of the various Scenery and Texture folders into \Addon Scenery\scenery and Addon Scenery\Textures.Not a good solution, I have several hundred .BGL files, many with the same name...Incidentally performance is exactly the same as in XP, since FSX is a 32bit app why would it be any different?Not sure what the dx10 demo is supposed to do but it sure kills the framerate.System: Core 2 duo @ 3.…

Hi everyone,I just edited some FS9 default airfields and added taxiways and aprons with AFCAD2.But when I go to these airports in FS9, there are trees and houses standing on the new aprons.So my question is: How can I remove them?Thank you very much,Olli

If I use AFCAD to update an airport, say correct the runway numbers... how do I get FS9 to ignore the default airport and use the updated on only?I don't do scenery, so honestly know nothing about it. :)

At BIHN (Honarfjordhur, Iceland) in FS9, MS managed to paint '36' on the southerly runway, and '18' on the northerly one. Is there a way to correct this, perhaps using xml coding? Or will I need to lay another runway on top of the default runway using something like AFW? The FS9 NDB approach to Rwy 36 is correctly identified as the northerly runway in the GPS database. Thanks.

HICan you make Scenery in google sketch up 7 Thankswww.jeteasy.webs.com

Hey,Ive already created a massive Sydney Airport Scenery but I honestly dont really like the way i have set it out. After I released it I learnt some different techniques in building scenery so I am going to start all over again.The prjec will be called "KINGSFORD SMITH GOLD"Any feedback would be great and if anyone would like to help me out that would be great.My email is [email protected] Thanks,Jack McDonaldDeluxe Sceneries

I wish to remove all the trees from an Alaskan island in keeping with the real world island. I use FS9 in XP. I am gradually learning EZ-Landclass but I wonder if there is not a simpler way of doing it. I think with EZ-Landclass that I will have problems when I get near the coastline. The default landclass for this island would seem to consist of two classes only. Is there a way of changing all the conifer landclass to tundra-type using xml coding maybe?

HiI think I am in the right forum for my question.I have FSX running in Windows Vista 64Bit built by the Folks at Jetliners.I am debating adding either FS Gobal 2008 or FScene4X total. The Reviews out there praise both products but there is a little confusion between scenery and terrain.My questions is "do you need either product or both to improve on FSX scenery for IFR as well VFR flights?".Can someone elaborate on the real differences between these and similar products.I like to fly all over the globe.Thanks very much in advanceBill Hagag

Flight Ontario had started releasing the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan bases. This was a 150+ bases spread across Canada during the 1940s. The buildings are of that era as are the aircraft that fill the aprons. The first approximately for free download on the Flight Ontario web site. www.flightontario.com go to Downloads/BCATPIf you like to fly the old WWII training aircraft this may be of interest to youAll comments would be welcome on the Flight Ontario Forum.Cheers,Al GayFlight Ontario

I know one example of a simple object that is influenced by weather - the windsock.That brings me to wonder, is it possible to create more complex objects that are influenced by weather, say trees close to the airport that are swaying in relation to wind velocity, or even "transparent" objects such as debris / snow flying across the runway?

Hope this is the correct forum to get a answer.I am not a designer, just a user, so to speak.My problem: I have a specific airfield and a specific parking spot for a C-17 that I need to use.What type line entry iin the acft config should I use.Running FS9 btw.Appreciate any input.Cheers,irish3

Ok, I have some ship scenery, and I would like to have the ships in other locations. I used bglcomp (http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=75329), to break down the BGL into the XML and MDL. I have made the necessary modifications to the XML file, so the ship will show at the new location, but I have no idea how to recompile the two files into a BGL. What would be the easiest way to recompile these two files? Forgive my newbness, working with SDK's not really my thing.
