Mesh Scenery Design - How To

Hi all Can't seem to download the samplers pack. I go to dev mode help and click on samplers which opens up google and I see it downloading but when it finishes I get an uncompleted download. I was able to download and install the main sdk and documents. Cheers

Hello fellow simmers, after a few years of no flightsimming I started to install my P3D and all the addons again. Now i'm at the point that I want to install FS Global 2018 FTX but the installer I still had on my PC isn't working properly (can't connect to the internet). Anyway I wanted to download a fresh one from where I originally bought the software, at the Flightsim Store. But they got bankrupt! I have all the (legal) information like reg.key and stuff but can't find out where my order went. Does anyone know if the Flightsim Store transferred all of my account information to another webshop? I already contacted Pilots! store and waiting for a reply. But maybe you guy…

In my FSX SE the buildings are showing up like black boxes. Please advise on a fix, thank you.

Does anyone know of or have a copy of EZ-Landclass that has been updated to work with Windows 10 and Excel 2016 or newer? Once I updated my version of Excel, I started getting a "Compile error in hidden module: Clipboard" message and the no longer works. I not, any recommendations on a similar tool to edit large areas of landclass?

I am currently modeling the entire United States for a freeware 10-meter mesh scenery project (see victoryinstitute.net/wildweasels) and I would like to fix as many of the airport plateaus as possible so users can have the best possible experience. First off, I apologize if this has been answered many times in the forum as I did a search and could not find an answer here or elsewhere. I know how to tell the sim to remove all U.S. airport flattens (or by state), but that trades the plateau issue for the bigger problem of floating runways. I know there is a way to use slope polys, but I don't know how to use them. And when I am dealing with hundreds of thousands of airports…

I downloaded whitedotsim HAAB.version 1.9.1 for FSX. It is working well and there is no issue about altitude (put alt file into scenery. world. scenery folder) . The only problem is I cant see taxi lights, runway lights or PAPI. When I checked with ADE, I can all of them in night texture and also in runway properties. My suspicion is that gourd polygon may be bolcoking them. Can anyone help me? Thanks Ash

I'am asking this question since I would like the FSGlobal 2020 Next Generation mesh which was recently released for P3Dv4/5 also in FSX. The developers told me that the product is not compatible with the 32bit sims since they allegedly use another file format, but somehow I doubt that this is true. Is there something like a "64 bit mesh"? I guess you guys here in this forum should know the answer whether there is a difference and more importantly whether I can install or transform the P3Dv4/5 mesh to FSX. I think of a reverse engineering process like decompiling the FSGlobal mesh BGL files for P3dv47v5 to a format (possibly some image format?) such that I can recompile t…

Hi all. Name's Charles. I came across this super old post from a google search and I'm wondering if there's any updated mappings of the Polynesian islands myself. If I can get all of them, that'd be fantastic, but I'm indifferent as to which one I can get data on. Thanks in advance!

I hope this is the right forum to ask this if not please let me know where would be better and/or the moderator can move my question .. thanks. I am trying to find high resolution 3d scenery with the real buildings, trees etc (photoreal) comparable to the google earth flight simulator, for microsoft flight simulator X or x-plane (or any other full function flight simulator). I've tried ortho4xp at zoomlevel 19 (maximum), and the MegaSceneryEarth free sample for Delaware, and neither come close to google earth flight simulator. When you fly low in an ultra light they look like you are looking at a 2d drawing on the ground of 3d objects looked at from above (ie al…

Greetings all, I have Pilots FS Global Ultimate Next Generation. I purchased it from the old FlightSim Store. I did use the coupon for the SimMarket transfer and a valid purchase there. Unfortunately, the download from SimMarket is not working well and I can't seem to use the bin files to from the ZIP file from SimMarket on my existing download. In short, it's been VERY frustrating to use the Pilot's mesh. What other recommendations are there for scenery mesh that are as good or better than FS Global? I've used Justin Tyme's work before, but not since he's moved to the site. FS Global always had issues with airports being on rises or sunken because o…

Who can make for me Kabul airport scenery?

Hi, I have recently changed over to Prepard3d V4.5 from FSX SE. I'm glad I made that choice. However, I have two concerns with both. The scenery outside the windshield looks like it is tinted. If I zoon in on cockpit panel and look to the left it's like a shadow, then the sky turns bright. This is both on Prepard3d V4.5 and FSX. Do I have a setting to high? Mike

When you install any Mesh for a region, normally which folders are these files saved in? And what is their file types? BGL?

I've been exploring Africa by installing all the WoAI packages I can find (preferably obscure or extinct airlines) and following the various flights. A recent flight from HSSS to HSSJ (Juba, South Sudan) revealed the Nile to be flowing in an "aqueduct" 3000' above the surrounding terrain. I had installed FreeMesh Africa and decided to try a different mesh scenery - AfricaSRT at simaviation- with the same result. I can't imagine the difficulty and intensity the labor involved might be, but it occurred to me that MS may have made rivers and lakes resistant to change by the current mesh methods since they are usually flat and level, unlike the surrounding terrain. I'v…

I've been flying MSFS since the 80s and have never been able to perceive a difference a special mesh file makes in the flying experience. I'm currently using FSX-SE (Win10, Geforce1080) and have been flying routes in the Andes and Madagascar and airports are either sunken deep into a hillside or atop a plateau several hundred feet about the surrounding terrain. The same for rivers and lakes. I've installed numerous scenery files claiming to flatten and render realistic the anomalies. I've used ADE to solve some problems but others defy the well intention efforts of scenery designers. I love VFR flying, especially in mountainous areas, and it seems that both FSX and de…

Hello, Does anyone know if Toposim is having problems. I was hoping to take advantage of the FSW toposim products. I can't seem to login or I can't reset my password. Justin - you there?? Ron

I have just downloaded all the free mesh via u torrent but have finished up with huge coloums of bgl files any idea were I go from here I thought it would come as zip any help please fss0469300 many thanks in advance

Sorry if this isn't the right forum. In 2009 I purchased stuff from FS Genesis, they still have a working web site, but they don't seem to respond to customer service tickets. Does anybody know whether the company still alive?

I this like the old original FSX where one could add scenery?

Hello my friends. I'm learning to modify FSX-SE airports with the ADE 167. I really researched the Internet helps but I would like to know the difference between: Exclude AutoGen, Flatten, Flatten Exclude AutoGen, Flatten Mask Class Map, Flatten Mask Class Map ExcludeAutoGen, Mask Class Map e Mask Class Map ExcludeAutoGen. You can take the doubts that I have? Thank you so much.

I'm trying to edit, albeit minor editing, the default AFCAD airport information in FSX Steam. I've downloaded ADE, the SDK (P3D 1.4), and have opened a stock airport. I changed a couple things, however, FSX does not seem to read this BGL. It's compiled and I've placed it in the Addon scenery folder but no dice. I even moved it to Global scenery, but nothing. FSX just ignores the change. I remember years ago editing default data in FS9 with ADE and creating new approaches, adding waypoints, ect. I don't recall the method being much different. I was able to close runways and everything. FSX isn't allowing me to do that. What am I missing?

Is this possible at all ??, Ive made a few buildings and landscape features that i would like to impliment into FSX, mainly for personal use but if i can improve on them i might take the plunge and share them, ive imported the objects into game but im struggling at matching them up, like a waterfall and dam feature thats stood too far off the DEM at the bottom and at slightly the wrong angle, going back and remodeling is a tedious job and takes the best part of a 5 hours, and all that to go in and find out its too much or not enough is a bit demoralising, so, my plan is to navigate to my desired location, somehow make a 3D copy of the area, which is only about a thousand …

Objective: I have three sound files I would like to play sequentially that are triggered on the hour. Example: Sound_1 (5 seconds) Sound_2 (5 seconds) Sound_3 (10 seconds) Can someone generate an example controller file and fx file for this scenario?

I purchased a set of meshes for all of Canada from FS Genesus. All the meshes are 19 size. There are also some additional meshes in the 32 and 76 size. ( "size" for lack of a better term). Here is my question: there is one for BC in the 19 size and another specifically for the rockies.in the 32 size.. Do I install both or will the 19 size override the 32 size.. Not that clear but I hope you get the drift of my question.. Thanks

Hello, I am using SBuilder for FS9 and create meshes from a height map (.bmp) via File/DEM tools. It works fine. My problem is that I get a lot of bgl files for a region. Is there a way to get one single big bgl file ? Thanks for your reply.
