• 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.

Alpha Channel Usages

My question is about the Alpha Channel Usage. I am puting gates in at my home airport in seattle. It is going to be released as freeware. The gates are animated for diffrent types of aircraft. While I finished placing the gates around the terminal, I though about the ground scenery. In other words, the lines that are painted on the ground. I know you can make yellow lines through AFCAD, but thats all you can do. I was wondering if I could use an Alpha Channel to place red safetly lines and stop lines by my gates. If I think I know what I am doing, I belive it would basically work like this. I would make a simple polygon in gmax and texture it with an alpha channel. I would then place it with my gates at ground level in Flight Sim. My hope would be to have the diffrent lines added to the tarmac in Flight Sim, but not to destroy the look of the tarmac. Is this even possible? Any thought are appreciated.
Thanks,
