• 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.

I am trying to get rid of the original airport boundary/flatten what tag do I use and also do I have to set the altitude of the exclude? I have tried using this.

Exclude_Airport_Backgrounds_Flatten_MaskClassMap

For all of the airports in stock FSX install that I've ever seen, you would exclude them with:

Exclude_Airport_Backgrounds_Flatten_MaskClassMap_ExcludeAutogen

Really, you need to load the area into TMFViewer to know EXACTLY what tag to use. In TMFViewer you can see exactly the GUID Microsoft used.
 
Open FSX_KML, and go to the Tags tab, and it will have a huge list of GUIDs next to each tag.

If your GUID that you got from TMFViewer corresponds to Airport_Backgrounds_Flatten_MaskClassMap_ExcludeAutogen, then it makes sense that the one you would use to kill it off would be the GUID for:
Exclude_Airport_Backgrounds_Flatten_MaskClassMap_ExcludeAutogen.
