• 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.

Ground2k4 Help

Hi:

I am very new in the design arena, as a matter of fact this is my first aptempt to design a fs scenery.
I would like to redesign the Tromelin island in the Indic ocean due to in the fs9 it's in the wrong position and with scenery not according with the realitty. I would like to build the sand airstrip it has and try to fly to it from Madagascar island with my Seneca V (it is part of a long around the world trip I am doing).
I tryed to use the Ground2k4 for doing this, but I cannot succeed with the documentation provided, or even tutorials I collected in the web.
The island simply does not apper. I could find a way to make it appering but without any elevation or even shores.
Can someone help me with a little tutorial just with the first steps like: build an land/water area, after that a LWM (Land/water with this layer etc.) and after that a LWM polygon (with this and that). I think the problem is to start the island directly in the ocean, but I do not have all the correct instruction and I like to lear with my hands-on in a project.
Well, my apologies for asking this help, and my gratitude if someone could help me on this.

Whilst i cant help you with Ground 2K4 as im not familiar with it, i would however recommend SBuilder from PTSim.com .

You can get the shareware version from aussim.com and Luis Sa has a very good forum for help at www.ptsim.com/forum and look under Scenery Design if you get stuck.

There is also a basic tutorial i created for Luis that works with the programs Help File at

http://vic-sim.fs-shipyards.net/files/islandtutorial.pdf

It is designed for newbies to SBuilder and covers what you will need to learn to then create the Island your looking to make.
