• 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.

background texture.

While I am here I will post another question that's been on my mind for a while.

Is there a way to get a background texture as a reference image in ADE?

Also, I have some add-on airports that have new ground textures, sometimes borrowed from Google Earth. I realise that ADE doesn't work with textures but how do developers get those custom textures in?

Cheers!
 
I am not sure what you mean. ADE can use background images as references to create an airport. It can't place images or textures in sim (like photo scenery) however.

Actually it was two questions - forget the second one. What I wanted was a background texture to trace over but I haven't figured out how to get it in yet.
 
The manual is your friend. Also do a search of this forum for background, and scaling.

Hope this helps,

Can you tell me where to find the manual please?

You should have got the Manual when you installed ADE9X. It is in a Folder inside where ADE is installed on your computer. If you did not get the manual



then go to

http://www.scruffyduckscenery.co.uk/


click on "Scruffyduck Download Center"


Inside the Scruffyduck Download Center, click on ADE9X Current Version


In the next dialog, click on Manual English v1.47.07 or German manual if you read German.

hope this is helpful :)
 
Alternatively try Start Menu > All Programs > Airport Design Editor 9x > Help.

In there you should find links to the manuals and tutorials (if you elected to download them when you installed ADE)
 
Ok, they were in the folder. It's actually Windows 7 that throws me. I'm not used ot the start menu or may even have some problems with the start menu. The were in the Help folder as you said.

Thanks all for the help.
