• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Exclusion rectangle not removing autogen trees

Using it at some VOZ airports that have trees on the taxiway, aprons etc. Adding a exclusion rectangle with 'all' ticked doesn't work. Tree's remain. Does anyone have any other options I could try?
 
I have VOZ about a 1/3 of the way down in my addon scenery. Its only at certain airports where this happens.
 
Strangely, I just swapped some textures with another set and a airport that never had any now is covered in trees on the aprons and taxiways etc.
I swapped back to the original textures and nothing changed. Trees everywhere. I cant figure it out.

A whole separate issue however to the ADE issue.
 
2 things you could try..
Firstly put the scenery at the top of the priority list, the problem should go away
If you are using other global addons, I would reccomend creating an additional _LC scenery folder, in there you would just have all files for terrain, autogen and mesh, this would sit one below your main scenery and will help blend your scenery with surrounding terrain - you could then use something like SBuilder to draw a poly, set it as airport ground which also acts as another exclusion... been 10+ years for me since FS9 dev, so bare with me
 
1st option of putting it at the top made no difference.

I'd have to get up to speed a little with sbuilder on how to do that.

Ok, I will give you a quick run down -
Launch SBuilder, create project and locate your area of interest
Select the "Polygon" tool, you will find it at the top which looks like a yellow card labelled "Polygon Tool", simply click that, then click on the map specifying your area to exclude autogen.. or flatten..bare with...
Once you have drawn the poly, right click to close it, then back at the top simply click the button that looks like a mouse arrow, select the poly you drawn, right click and select "Properties"
From there, I dialogue will open where you can chose which Landclass it will be, scroll to the bottom and select "AB_Flatten_ExcludeAutoGen"
With the poly still selected which should now be green, press the "Compile" button which is again at the top on the far right, which has an arrow in a green box.. be sure to remove any flattens in your current scenery, then move your newly created BGL to your scenery, or as mentioned earlier, one layer below your main scenery and you can just call this "WhateverYouWant_LC"..the "_LC" is not required, but it's an obvious and clear flag to denote that it is managing landclass.

If it don't work with "AB_Flatten_ExcludeAutoGen", try another which don't autogenerate trees such as LC_Rock or something, provided you have satellite imagery to cover it
 
Just to add, if you go this route, you can create your _LC scenery structure like so

Whatever_LC
--------"scenery" (Drop your flatten/exclude BGL file here) - no need for a texture folder
