• 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.

    How do I get Overhead Floodlighting ?

    I have an overhead lighting issue at an airport I'm editing (KTOL). I'd like to add a dozen floodlights to the cargo area but couldn't get the street light to show up. I found this thread, and then downloaded the lights set that was recommended. Now, how do I install these lights (they are meant...

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    Yeah...I tried to use the water landclass for the ditches but for some reason they didn't show up. The only way I could get water was to use an apron...seemed to work ok for some time with that setup. I'm starting to think that the problem I've encountered was caused because I deleted the...

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    Hey guys, I've been working on my little airstrip off and on since I last posted...but not much because I've gotten it to the point where I can fly in and out of it. Still plenty of tweaking left to do though. But a new problem has developed. FSX encountered a fatal error, so I...

    Ahh...figured it out. To create water, use an apron. My project is really starting to take shape now...thanks for all your help.

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    Thanks man. Now I'm back to the "can't see the water problem." I drew the ditch on top of an airport background (Flatten Excude Autogen)...problem is...I can't see the water in the ditch. There is no Grand Canyon problem like before, but no water...any ideas?

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    Tried them both...the ones from the fsxrtm library are more 3D like. I got the trees to change with the seasons. I just deleted the airport background that excluded autogen that was underneath the forest landclass...now I have the default autogen trees...which change with the seasons.

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    That's what I figured...with the abbreviations. I guess I'll just make them all summer trees. Do you know what the difference is between the two vegetation libraries...vegetation.bgl and vegetation_fsxrtm.bgl?

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    More questions... Again, how do I make the trees added with ADE change with the seasons? Also...what do all the abbreviations on the tree files mean? Like...26M_SP, 13M_HW, etc.

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    Also, does anyone know of a program that can be used to create new landclasses to add to ADE and FSX? I want to put in some fields, but now with the landclass options in ADE (which provides cropland textures with trees, houses, etc in addition to crops), I can't just stick in a corn field, or...

    Whisplacer is a nice program for putting in the scenery objects...thanks for the advice. But like you said, I'll need to save it as a seperate bgl. Right now, I have two bgl files for the airport in the AddonScenery/scenery folder. The airport one and a CVX one...whatever CVX means...

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    I just noticed that there are two vegetation libraries... vegetation and vegetationfsxrtm. I was just looking in all libraries under vegetation...not sure which ones came from which libraries. I did put in a tree with the suffix "wi"...for winter I suppose. This gave me a winter tree but...

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I have a couple fields drawn up and they look fine...and one woods. Now I'm trying to populate the woods with a nice amount of trees. But all the trees I've added from the object library have their leaves...none of those trees change with the seasons? What is...

    I made the Grand Canyon in my back yard....help

    I think maybe I figured it out through trial and error. Tell me if I got this right. In order to create the scenery around the airport, I need to first create an airport background...selecting Flatten Exclude Autogen. Then, using that background as a canvas, draw my polygons on top of...

    Here's the deal. I'm a long-time flight simmer who has downloaded and installed addons for years. I've mastered that process. Now, for the first time, I've set out to create my own scenery....in particular, a neighbor's landing strip and some of the surrounding scenery. So I...
