• 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.

Hi,

Right now i have made several backgrounds but they usually are squares by nature, However how can you select the background you wish to have ?

For example Instead of the background of the entire surroundings how can you select specifically the background of the airport.

It might sound easy but i didn't find it at all anywhere so please :confused:

Best Regards,

Skippy

Is this for FS9 or FSX?
 
If I can assume you are talking about photoscenery, you need a blend mask, which is simply an 8-bit Greyscale TIFF picture with the same name as your background picture but with a "_b" (for blend) at the end of the file name.
White parts in the TIFF show up; black parts are transparent and thus disappear. Intermediate grey areas are translucent and thus "blend".
If you are compiling in SbuilderX it will modify the .inf file automatically and include the blend mask if it finds it.
