FS2004 / FS9 Help Needed Hello all, I am attempting to produce night textures (free ware and for home use) that are much more realistic to what you see in real life. I fly in real life at night a lot and none of the simulators, i.e. FS9, FSX, P3D, (in my opinion) provide realistic night environments. While many are good, none reproduce the visual atmosphere that (I) see in real life. I understand there are coding restrictions in FS9 that limit things to developers. And I realize using generic textures provide limitations as well. I am ok with all of this. Why FS9 you ask. Fair enough. Our home simulator is based on an airliner and we operate (5) visuals di…

:biggrin: An exceptional news for all lovers of the flight simulator: the Meshes for free :lol: of the land for all of Western Europe! (FS9 just now and soon for FSX) The result of the charthusian work of Daniele Lanfranchi :Applause: , this work is available for free to all those who will be pleased to set up. Five separate blocks :shok: (Italy, Europe 1, Europe 2, the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles) are available for download (with a bit patience, given the size), that will dramatically improve the view of the high ground of the simulator. For more details and instructions, see the instruction file by the link. https://dl.dropbox.c...e Terr…

Hi all, Don't know why , but the shapes do not show up on the FsET 1.3 map. I can make seperate Exclude Areas . Windows 10 64 and I use FsET as Administrator. Google Earth 7.1.8.3036 --> can FsET1.3 read the KML files from this version ? I remember something like this with v1.0 and a former Google Earth version.. Your suggestions are very welcome ..

Has anyone out there successfully produced a VTP Vector Texture Polygon from FSX_KML?

Hi all In 2010, a very talented man by the name of Max Kraus released a detailed scenery package for Paphos International Airport in Cyprus. As I'm sure those of you who've used it are very impressed with the scenery, it is now quite out of date. Since 2010, the apron layout has been completely redesigned and as far as I'm aware, all that needs to be changed is the ground markings. I haven't been able to reach Max Kraus as I have no contact information for him but if he's found this topic then Max, please update this amazing scenery. I often fly on IVAO out of LCPH and it's an amazing airport. If Max does not see this then please can someone design some new sc…

Making my first scenery for FSX, and I read up that XtoMDL is not included in the steam SDK. SO I took the advice of Scuffy Duck and downloaded P3D 1.4 version where it is included. The main issue is that MCX does recognize it in the highlighted area but not on the area the pointer is pointing at. Furthermore I fail to see how I can point it to the location... How do you update the path when there is no button for such? Kindest regards, Drago EDIT: found it! Screenshot:

So I am new on this site and I wanted to ask a question: How do I make a good scenery like flytampa or uk2000 I want to make KRNT scenery with real life textures with traffic and taxiways working. So if somebody cares I can model using 2 softwares BLENDER and CINEMA 4D! hope you Will reply shortly!

... but only for the UK :mad:

Hi Guys, I was reading the forum for a while, however I know need some help as I cannot figure it out myself despite the research I did. I am enhancing a famstrip I have found online and as part of this enhancement I need to redo the ground photo realistic texture, did that no problems from SbuilderX, if I apply the .bgl as it is it fits perfectly where it should. After some trial I have managed to do a blendmask however, despite the blandmask show correctly, the whole texture is totally out of location, checking in TmfViewer I have noticed that the corner do not appear as hidden part (so that could be why the texture isn't where it should be as latitude and longi…

Is there a way for a given coordinate to determine if it is land or water ? Preferrably in batch.

Hi all, after many years with a stable fsx config and in sync with a PC HW refresh I'd like to develop my next flight simulation solution, including an advanced scenery component within the solution. The biggest area of concern I have, mostly due to my lack of knowledge, is the foundation of the scenery component in terms of add-on products that I may adopt. I am then asking for some support with the following two main questions: 1. is there a tutorial that explains in a clear way textures, landclasses, .... ? This would help raising my knowledge 2. from what I see there are solutions based on UTX+GEX and others based on FTX Global + Vector + OpenLC: d…

Hi ! I'm New Here , I'm french and I Live in Ivory Coast (Africa) since 3 Years now ,and I'm working on the Abidjan DIAP Scenery In Ivory Coast since 1 Month Now . This is a very Complex scenery because the FSX dev's (Sorry guys !) Has maked a very bad Work in Africa , the altitude of the Airport and the city is 230Ft Over the Real ! So I took on me , and now , all the altitudes problems are resolved , even with ORBX vector ! The scenery had a Photoreal Ground in 50Cm/Pixel and an Autogen manually placed , one building per one ... Here is the link (Sorry , In French ...) for the screens and the download Link in the end of the page : http://alexandnico…

I... am... so... irritated right now I think my head might explode. So... I am ready to start doing ground poly work using GMAX 1.2 only the GMAX installer will not install. When I run it it informs me that the product already exists on my computer. I did try to play with it almost 2 years ago but I uninstalled it. Needless to say, I am now ready to get serious with it and now I get this stupid error. It tells me I should uninstall with the Control Panel prior to trying to install again. Well... GMAX is not on my uninstall list. There are no folders left over of it. I even purged all traces of Autodesk and GMAX from my windows Registry and rebooted a…

Hello fellow simmers. I have FS2004 (yes I still use FS004 lol) A few years ago I downloaded from Flightsim.com a great freeware scenery developed by Italian Scenery Designers (ISD Project) for the Leonardo Davinchi Fumicino Int'l airport (LIRF). I installed and noticed a tree line alongside runway 7-25 shows up without the tree textures. I downloaded the scenery a couple of times to reinstall, but they still show up without the tree textures visible. I checked within the texture folder and the tree .bgls are there. My problem is: WHERE in the scenery folders is the file that need to be removed in order to make the bank blocks dissapear. I have decided to resolve my probl…

I am new to editing buildings in FSX. What programs do you need to edit buildings/objects in FSX? I have ADE but it doesn't help as it just places where the taxiways are placed. Thanks!

Hello folks out there, i was looking at a pmdg 737 run on youtube, and i noticed how beatiful the scenery was. they mentioned eddie butcher clouds and such. im running FSX steam edidtion.

I've added some freeware airports to upgrade/update the stock FSX ones, usually just AFCADS with the latest dates I can find to try and ensure the airfield looks like it should. Sometimes I get duplicate ILS shacks (or even a duplicate control tower!). I place any add-on airport in the Addon Scenery folder within its own sub folder (eg. EGLL, containing scenery and texture sub-folders), making sure it's above all the other usual suspects (landclasses, meshes etc.). How do I go about removing one of them at least? Some kind of airport editor? Freeware or payware? Thank you.

Enjoy

Hello everyone, I've been attempting to use Ray Smith's Anchorage Int'l AFCAD and the ILS for 7R cannot be assigned by ATC, only 7L. The localizer and glideslope for 7R are usable. Any clue as to what could be causing this? I'm not an expert at AFCAD or scenery design. Thanks!

Hi There I've Been Working On A Airport For FSX From Scratch Since Four Days As The Stock Airport Is As Of Old Standards (Pre 2006) I Believe.So After Working On For Countless Hours And Gathering All The Resources In ADEX v1.60.5095 [00.00.6083] I Am Getting A Error While Compiling The .ad3 File To bgl File.

Hello, I have some interesting problem here. First of all, I never made sceneries and I am dont know much about it. Three months ago I steped up to P3Dv.3 and really want my homebase in P3D. But scenery is only for FSX. LKLN - Line - Czech Republic - Europe. I know, that it could be compatibility problem, but someone told me, that it can be figured out by changing format of bgl files with ModelConverterX. Scenery is here: http://www.flightsim.cz/fsitem.php?act=exe&id=694&menu= But after adding scenery to P3D, airport has missing every building and stuff. So I checked this: http://www.avsim.com/topic/414443-thai-creations-mumbai-india-is-out/page…

im trying to make a path from the runway to the road but its not showing after compile...ive tried vehicle link, taxi, and path...no luck

Has anyone else found that KBOS airport scenery ILS RWY 15R doesn't line up with the RWY center line? Is it suppose to be like that? Here's a link to the files in AVSIM Library: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=fsx_kbos_rs_cs.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search Any help would be appreciated Bill

If you do not own the payware FlyTampa scenery, and you want a better, more accurate scenery/AFCAD than default, then this is a MUST GET! You can download it from the AVSIM library here: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=195938 This is just a FREE scenery without advanced textures. Native P3D objects used, with the exception for the Ground Marking and the Concourse-D terminal, that are done using Google Sketchup. Looks basic, but accurate, and it works. After hard work getting things to work the way i wanted, here's a scenery update for OMDB. This update will help those not owning FlyTampa payware to use an accurate airport based on the FlyTampa skeleton. …
