How can I fix my airport from going in the land like so?(AFX, fsx)

I've downloaded the VTBS airport from siamaviation and have just about gotten it working in fsx, but I have a few questions.1. You know those rotating green and white beacon things? There's one on top of the tower, but it's not rotating, and the beams of light are opaque. Any way I can fix this?2.The airport includes some photoreal ground textures. When I hit F12 and look at them from above, they disappear after i reach a certain altitude. I also have some of the default ground textures poking up through the airport background.I tried making a new background polygon in ADE, and that fixed the rice padies in the middle of the airfield, but the issue with the phototextures …

I installed an addon EBCI airport, but it is surrounded by white blocks , can I do something about this?

HiI searched for hours but can't find any topic about this.Is there any description out there on how to paint Skytextures for FS9?What are the Pixels at the top of the texture for?and are the ones on the bottom for the reflections on the water?I would like to try to paint my own set of sky-textures, so i am very interrested in finding out how to do it right.i hope somebody here can help me.regards M.

Hello All:I am trying to acquire an ALREADY REGISTERED and FULLY FUNCTIONAL commercially-boxed LAGO S.L.R Flight Simulator Enhancer (FSE) CD-ROM product with all the accompanying manuals and literature. The problem is apparently LAGO S.L.R. no longer exists. I believe that the company has gone out of business. The LAGO website is no longer online at the usual:http://www.lagoonline.comI have downloaded an unregistered copy of the LAGO S.L.R Flight Simulator Enhancer (FSE) from Miguel Blaufuks' simFlight GmbH Network simMarket Webshop. They cannot help me register this through them as the actual software manufacturing company, LAGO, no longer exists and the product is no lo…

I guess some of you may have downloaded our new program from AVSIM. Just to let you know that there is an update available directly from www.scruffyduckscenery.co.uk. Despite exhaustive beta testing things will go boom in the night as soon as you release to the community :( Anyway this version fixes the problems identified in scanning third party airport bgl files.

Hi. I'm just getting back into flight simming and I'm a little confused about the different scenery/terrain packages available for FSX. I'm planning on purchasing GEX, FEX, and UTX which I think are designed to be used together. I've recently seen FSGenesis mentioned as a good package to get. I don't completely understand the differences between the various options. My questions are whether FSGenesis is to be used along with GEX, FEX, and UTX or instead of them AND do these add-ons replace FSX stock scenery or just add to it. Could someone please help me out with this?Thanks,Jeff

Hi!I've created some easy to use Photo to Scenery Converter!It probably will be updated some times, because the goal is to geht satellite imagery on the fly while flying ...If you want to try ;-) ftp://ich2.dyndns.org/TT-Soft/TT-Tiles.zipTobias

Hi -When I bought FEX and I encountered its water designer, I was completely confused until I was able to study theFSX SDK and use tmfviewer to examine the waterclass bgl.I've seen a number of other people asking about it over at simforums and its difficult to help them if they dont have the SDK.I'm looking for online resources that I can point people towards. It would be great if Microsoft had a place where an intersted person could download a copy of tmfviewer.exe but Im not aware that they allow it.If you know of any online resources that would help then that would be great. I just found that Microsoft has put the SDK text online with their ESP thing but I dont see a…

Is there a special texture file that surrounds default airports (the grass area)!And can it be removed.Thanks for your time.ed

I have BP Simulation's KIAD scenery addon installed in FSX. I have it completely updated to have the new runway in the correct position, and so on. The other day I made a flight from KATL to KIAD in SGA's MD-88, and ATC vectored me way to close to the new runway. I was still making my decent to capture the glideslope and I was almost on top of the airport. This caused me to be way over, then under as the AP tried to compensate my decent. It made for a hell of a mess of a landing. Anyhow, this is unusual for me in FSX as ATC usually gives me plenty of room to get to my assigned altitude, before having to cap the GS. So I'm wondering if the AFCAD or something in the …

I have the brilliant Flytampa St. Maarten scenery and have been busy working on the afcad for Grand Case. I have it made it as close to the real place as I can within my limitations. However Rwy12, Ez-scenery custom models do not resemble the the buildings in that area at all and I am moved to ask if anyone has modeled them in Gmax?. If I can find the models I shall upload the airport to avsim when finished. Otherwise maybe someone with the knowledge and the time could do the buildings for me, it's a lot to ask I know, but I just have not got the time to learn how to do it myself.Thanks for reading my plea for help.--Catmar

Hello folks.In spite of it's WWII historic relevance, MS didn't make a very good job of Manston (EGMH) airfield in FS2004 and, as there are no updates in the library, I have redone it in AFCAD2 to comply with both Google Earth and the UK AIS data.My one remaining problem is with the visual taxiway signs i.e taxiway 'E' shows up as taxiway 'D'.I have a whole host of scenery creation/update programs but must admit to never having really learnt to use them properly.Having now ploughed through countless 'readme', 'tutorial' etc. files I have found no reference to any library files that may help and I am still no wiser about how to solve this problem.Any advice would be most w…

I am updating an FSX stock airport and will be adding a new runway which runs parallel to the existing runway. Unfortunately, a UTX road with traffic runs parallel to and between the two runways. I am using Airport Design Editor and have not been able to exclude the road and traffic. Is there another program that can do this?Thanks,Dan

Good Afternoon fellow simmers, I recently stumbled across an article in PCPilot in reference to mapstobgl, I have always wanted to attempt to create my own scenery projects, however, time is limited.. Anyways, I successfuly created a few small areas here inb Northern ohio successfully, however, do to the long processing time, I am looking for any short-cut as to tweak the zoom rate to generate an acceptable display. Any help would be Greatly Appreciated!Eggsmstr

Hi all,In FS9, I have telephone poles coming out right in the middle of the runway at E48 in Texas, so I cannot take off without crashing. I need advice/instructions on how to get rid of them please. FSX does not have this problem at E48 but my system is woefully slow with FSX so I have to stick with FS9 for now. Thanks in advance, Dolph

Hi all, very newbie question. I tried to modify existing FS9 airport (say ILS frequency). This is my step:1 Install FS9SDK bglcomp and bglxml2 decomp a default airport APnnnn.bgl3 without execute any change in APnnnn.xml I tried to recompile with BGLCOMP, but obtain some errors as you can see in the attach imaseI have looked in some forum for a possible solution without success. Is there anyone that would give me a suggestion?Thanks and regardsRob

As you may no doubt be aware, the runway designations at Dulles (for example) have now changed. Runway 1L/19R is now 1C/19C. I have updated my AFCAD file so ATIS, AI, and ATC are all on the same page, but I was wondering how to modify the .bgl file to address runway selection options in the "Create a Flight" menu of FS2004. When creating a flight, you can choose a starting point: The Active Runway, 1L, or 1R etc. The drop-down choice box is not updated via AFCAD. I believe this is only possible via the internal coding of the .bgl scenery files. Could anyone suggest a utility or method that would help me achieve this?Thanks!-- Outer Marker

I have just launched a new virtual airline in anticipation of a new Citation Mustang from Flight1. Our VA operates out of Dekalb-Peachtree airport in Georgia and we are interested in finding some help in developing an FBO/Hangar building for FSX and adding it to our home airport. We are not looking to have the whole airport remodeled, just editing to accept this new building, although if you are interested in redoing the airport we won't stop you . If this sounds like it is up your alley head on over to our site www.flyjetquest.com and sign up on our forums and we can go from there or PM me from here.

Hi guys!I'm working on a modern carrier strike group scenery and I'm looking for some nice U.S. Navy ship objects (cruisers, destroyers, subs...). I need objects with the xml and mdl files to compile them with BGLComp.Something like 'usn2002.zip' (located here at AVSIM) would be great but this one is for FS2002 and doesn't contain the xml and mdl files.Do you know where I could find such scenery objects for FS2004?Thanks for your help!

I notice that the current version of FSDS is 3.5.1. Mine indicates only v3.5. How do I obtain an update? There is nothing at the Abacus website, and they don't seem to reply to inquiries.Also, what happened to the FSDeveloper website today? I can't get it to load on my browser.ArtBiostar TF560-A2+ | Athlon 64X2-6000+ | 4GB PC2-6400 RAM | Geforce 8800GTS-320MB | 500W PSU | 250GB HD | FSX(SP1-Acceleration) | UTX | Audigy SE sound | Vista Home Premium 32 bit | CH Yoke (modified) & Pedals | Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick | 22" WS LCD monitor
