• 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.

Deleting objects

Hi, is it possible to delete default buildings and objects without deleting the taxiways and runways? If this is not possible with Airport 4 Windows is there any other software for this? Thanks.
 
Yes, if you are familiar with XML code you can delete a selection of things.

Create an exclusion for the airport area and then enter a true or false statement for the required objects to be removed.

This source code will show you how to exclude the Taxi Signs and any Library Objects !

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FSData
version="9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >

latitudeMinimum="40.9642094956533"
longitudeMaximum="28.8356362988431"
excludeLibraryObjects = "TRUE"
excludeTaxiwaySignObjects = "TRUE"/>
<!-- To Add or Exclude other objects include to the above the following with a true or false statement -->
<!-- excludeAllObjects = "FALSE"
excludeBeaconObjects = "FALSE"
excludeEffectObjects = "FALSE"
excludeGenericBuildingObjects = "FALSE"
excludeTriggerObjects = "FALSE"
excludeWindsockObjects = "FALSE" -->
<Airport ident="LTBA" name="Ataturk"

magvar="-3.30" alt="49.68"

</Airport>
</FSData>


The text between the <!-- --> is seen as a notation and can be cut and pasted into the code to remove what you want !

Or (if you are not working for Fs2004) you can also make a small exclude with a tool like FSSC or Airport for Windows. Just make sure it is that small, that it only fits around the reference point of the object you want to remove.
