• 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.

Hello everyone!!!

I have lots of doubts since I recently started making scenery and I am a beginner for fs2004 and was working on Chennai (VOMM) in India. I was able to correct the layout and added taxiways and aprons as per the tutorial by soarfly scenery concepts but when I made the custom terminal It didn't show up even though I did everything correctly also the stock airport buildings show up even though I deleted them in ade and also any help with exclusion area around the airport would be very very helpful.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Jeppa6640

If you click on the yellow box you will be able to draw an exclusion box around your airfield. You have to start at where you want the top left corner to be then with your finger on left mouse button pull down and across until you have a yellowy orange box covering your whole airfield. Click on all and then ok and it should get rid of all autogen buildings and other things.
Hope that helps

I created a custom terminal model as well and its not showing up and I tried doing that for another smaller airport called CYYG and still the buildings not removed
 
Re your custom building: when you created it did you use dedicated co-ordinates for it that places it exactly where you want it to go or did you just create the model? if it was the second option then you have to place it into your scenery using
a tool like Instant Scenery to actually place it in your scenery and save it in a .bgl file which this kind of tool offers you. Then you will see it in your scenery.
Just a thought on CYYG ( and I'm not getting at your ability here) but did you save the file and compile it and copy the bgl to your fs2004 add on scenery? a simple task that I sometimes forget to do after all the years of scenery design under my belt.
hope this helps.
