FSX | FSX-SE Scenery Design Forum - How To

Hello everybody, I post this question whose solution is probably obvious but not for me which am searching on the forums. My installation is: c:\autoASM , c:\Flight Simulator 9 The settings in AutoaASM panels are: WORKING DIRECTORY: c:\autoasm FLIGHT SIMULATOR PATH: c:\FS2004 PROJECT NAME: demo OUTPUT File: test After loading and read data, I have the drawings on the map. ISLANDS, AUTOFILL, AUTO CULL, COMPIL, TO FS are checked FIX PIXELS, LWM only unchecked When I click on WRITE LWM, I get error message: ERROR '76' PATH NOT FOUND. It is probably a pb with FS9 connexion because, if I uncheck "to FS", I do not get this message an…

I'm working on an all grass airport in Long Island called Bayport (23N) using photo real scenery. How do I add the season changes to the airport? Id like to make winter, early spring...etc. I can make the BMPs, but have no idea where they are assigned to activate. Thanks JR

Hi all. The newer versions of visual studio and the .NET versions have changed the behavior of the ANYCPU form of compiling. I have a zipped folder I'm attaching, that has been compiled as .NET version 4.7 with Windows10 64-bit. I'm seeking someone with a 32-bit windows version to try to run the batchfile within the zip, to see if ANYCPU is truly ANYCPU. The file produces some shapefiles and reads one. Here's the Google Drive Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0QpXWuJbh-bMFNzeGZBNjRYMXc Dick

Hi all. I've made a new tool which grabs an LOD8-sized image from various internet tile providers. Useful for getting a background image for SBuilder9 or Ground2k. LOD8_Image.zip Dick

Figured it out. Windows 7 issue.

Currently working on getting a new version of CNR4 out with models of the actual buildings, now that I've had time to start getting to know GMAX and some of the more advanced ADE functions. Below are a few screens of the progress. The REAL CNR4 ^^ My new version ^^ The original ^^ Hangar in GMAX ^^ How the approach looks thus far. I'll be updating this as I go along so feel free to check back here once in awhile. Once I'm done this I'll start working on a few other airports. If there are any small airfields that aren't too complex someone may want to see, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my JustSim EDDH scenery. Runway lights are missing! Can you help me? Running on P3D v3.4. Computer specification: - Intel Core I7-4790K (overclocked to 4,4 GhZ) - Gigabyte GTX 970 - 16GB RAM DDR3 - Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7 Motherboard Here is a photo

I have MegaSceneryEarth Idahov3 and I have been placing autogen trees using the FSX SDK and Autogen Annotator. Every so often, when I place autogen trees (Terrain Class Cool Conifer Forest) with a vegetation polygon near an airstrip, but making sure none of the polygon borders touch or come near to the actual runway itself, autogen trees will still be placed on the runway. I assume this is because of the stock autogen cell size in FSX. I have tried to exclude just those trees encroaching or standing on the runway, yet neither exclude option I try (I'm using Airport Design Editor X) gets rid of just those few trees blocking the runway. I have created a polygon that…

With a fresh FSX build (no scenery or module add-ons yet) I am installed Ultimate Traffic Live for some testing. I have come across and off situation and though I would fish some some thoughts. I did a fresh build to eliminate any add-ons from the equation. I am testing at LOWI. (No, I have not put ORBX LOWI back in yet.) UTL AI traffic arrives and departs on schedule. I am using the status boards to check the times. Departing traffic takes off from RW08R as expected. Arriving UTL AI Traffic, such as a 737-800, flies over the airport at about 4000ft, goes missed, and then circles all the way around and lands on the 2nd attempt. However, they land on RW08L. T…

Hi guys, I'm using the object placement tool to place a flagpole in my scenery (it worked) and now I'm proudly flying the Stars & Stripes in front of my fire station. I wanted to add a second version with the California flag next to it but can't figure how to do it. I was able to change the US flag to the state flag by changing the texture file, and it displays correctly so now I can have one or the other, but not both. Suggestions? -Rudy

Hi, I'm trying to create a circular generic building for an airport in ADE... best I know is that you can do it by editing the xml... but is there a way to do that in ADE or Sbuilderx??? If thats possible please tell me how.... Thanks in advance, Nestor

Decided to get back into ADE as I started up before but never really followed through or finished anything so I got the bug again and figured I'd start small. I laid it out as close as possible to the real airport using a Google Earth overhead image and various ground level screenshots. I was restricted to FSX Library objects as I don't know how to do custom objects yet and haven't found many extra libraries so I did what I could. Also adjusted the boundaries a tad as well as added a few items from the road and some trees. Hopefully someone enjoys it. https://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=cnr4&CatID=fsxafcad&Go=Search

Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this but I thought this might be the best place, and maybe someone can help me out here. So, here's the problem I'm having. I recently purchased the KMOC Taxi2Gate Scenery for FSX and had questions about it. So, I went to their website and tried to register at their forum. First of all, I've sent them an e-mail, which has been at least a week now, and still have not heard from them. So, I tried to register at their forum, and their forum is not like any forum I've seen. I can't even post a topic. So, I found this site called iFlySimX.com that also has a forum for the Taxi2Gate. I tried to register there, and I'm still having the same p…

I intend to do a new scenery for a development in the Spratly Island Group, which is known as Woody's Island internationally and Yongxing Dao in China. My problem is that the only adequate photographic capture of the area, whatsoever (at least in public domain) is from Getty Images and they want $575 US for it, which is beyond my personal budget for a freeware scenery. I am fascinated by events in the South China Sea and have already uploaded two sceneries related to the region. Pagasa Island is the Philippines strongest claim within the disputed region and the PLAN Fleet is composed of units already assigned to, or typical of the area. Woody's Island is easily …

I want to know whether I'll be able to use the "Autocad Civil 3D" to create city sceneries for Prepar3d. I'm trying to use Cad-Earth to make city sceneries, but then I have to use the "Autocad Civil 3D". Thanks

Hello everyone in the Flight Sim world, I have released yet another part of my how to make scenery video series. In this tutorial I show you how to create custom Shadow textures. Enjoy!!

I need help with ADE (Airport Design Editor X) I do not do anything and as much with Afcad it was easy I cannot get it with ADE. If someone can explain to me I have the beautiful scenery FlyTampa TNCM, and I would like for the landings and takeoffs there is only the runway 10 and close the runway 28 I have FSX in SSD\ program Files (x86)\ \fsx ADE 1.70.6029 Thanks in advance for help

Quite curious. In reference to FSW that should arrive shortly, the imcompatibility of dll and other 32 bit files has been mentioned, because FSW is 64bit. Well, are bgl files also specific for 32 or 64 bit? Considering that FSW have a folder structure and behavior similar to simulators based on FSX code, is there any possibility of using common scenarios between them? I ask this thinking about jobs produced in ADE. Thank you João Alfredo

Hi I have just installed ADE v1.70. I am using FSX-SE. I also installed the P3D v1.4 SDK as advised on STEAM as the FSX SDK has some files missing. I have signed up at FS Developer forum for assistance but I cannot post because I have "insufficient privilges to post" !!!!!!!!!!!! All I want to do is add an ATIS frequency to a stock airport (FAEL). I added the ATIS com in ADE, saved the airport, but it does not show in FSX. Could someone please guide me through the steps required to add the comm. Regards Trevor

Here's one for the AFCAD experts. I've noticed a few of my addon payware airports don't include approaches in the AFCAD but of course do provide the appropriate ILS frequencies and heading should they apply to the given runways. The latest payware addon I noticed this with was Baku by DDesign. My question is, if the AFCAD has ILS frequencies and headings and if the airport is IFR will AI still land without the AFCAD having any approaches in it? For myself I don't care because I don't really use the built in FSX ATC or any addon ATC, but I don't want to land at a deserted airport due to the AI not being given any IFR approaches to the ILS. Secondly, if the A…

I have used SBuilderX to create Photoreal Airport Area Sceneries, but they have always been in the "flattened" airport background areas of the file. I would like to try my hand at the sloping dirt runway at Soldier Bar USFS Airstrip in my home state of Idaho. Right now I have the photoreal texture overlaying an FSGenesis Idaho Mesh. I also used ADEX and opened the 85U Stock Airport, removed the flat runway (but left the ARP in the actual lat/lon it goes). I added a USFS looking building and some Douglas Fir pine trees and I can find the airport and land on the slope of the mesh using the photoreal texture as a guide, but there is no actual "runway" of dirt per se,…

Hello, I am working on a scenery and I made an apron in ADE as Ground Poly. I want to light it "Splash Light". I can't GMAX and 3DS Max. All buildings I do in SketchUp. Does anyone have a MDL file for Light Splash / Light Field? Such a file so that you can immediately in the Model Converter X send it to P3D Or a more instructions guide / link to how to do it in GIMP and SketchUp. Very please for help. Regards, Kuba.

I know somewhere FSXA has a rotating beacon. I am trying to place a rotating beacon (not on a stand) on top of a tower. Does anyone know of the GUID number for a rotating beacon? Thanks, Bob.

Hi I think that I may have an issue shortly with my first attempt at an airport i'm trying my hand at. As this is my first one I'm unsure on a lot of things The first thing really is how do i get my airport photoscenery base to merge with the exsisting land textures. I'm using ftx global, europe lc and global vector, however the default global scenery is a very poor match with the airport.But with the area i am using to create the airport,i can make it look slightly better.However i have no idea the best way to blend the edges of my scenery to the global base scenery.Can someone point me in the direction of any tutorials,or offer any advice on the best way to go abo…

Hello. I am having issues with default scenery still present on top of add on scenery, like I can still see taxiways and jetways from default scenery. Anyway I can remove that?
