• 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.

Hellow everyone
I was making a airport in my hometown.
I am using the Sketchup, the main building has been completed ,so I try to make the runway now,but I have some Problems.
The runway in the FSX is not on the ground,I can not see the Shadow on the runway and when I take off leave the ground， the runway will shine.
Please tell me how can I make the runway by sketchup THX!
 
Hi,

If you would make the runway as ground polygons, instead of as a normal mdl object both these problems will be solved. You could try to use the ground polygon wizard in modelconverterx to convert them to ground polygons.

Hi,
Thank you very much！Arno
I find the way to make the ground polygons. but when I use the Ground polygon wizard to convert the MDL to the BGL ,the modelconverterX said:“failed to locate SCASM path,plase update the path in the options”
But I can not find the SCASM path in the FSX SDK
Please tell me where can I find the SCASM path..in the FS9 SDK or FS 2002 SDK?..or........THX：P

SCASM isn't a part of FS9 or FSX SDK. A Google search of SCASM and look for SCASM download site. After you install,.. you will need to take notice of the location where you installed the SCASM. Then after you have written down the location,.. within MCX, goto "Options" and then "Exporter Settings". Under BGL Writer, look for "SCASMPath".... Enter the path or click on the "..." and locate where you have installed SCASM. You are done...


Hope it Helps.

Hi,

Unfortunately your pictures do not show, so it is hard to see what is the problem. Can you check the links again?

Hi,

Did you place a terrain flatten for your airport as well? For ground polygons to work correctly the terrain must be flat. The terrain flatten should have the elevation as specified for your airport in the airport XML.
