• 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.

Anyways to get into the point Im trying to make a small town in Belarus, Pinsk which has a small airfield with Unofficial ICAO code of XMBP and have one grass runway, but the problem is that when I use SbuilderX to make the photoreal town around the airport it just doesnt make images i just need to some tips on how to make such scenerys i tried taking smaller tiles of the area and just make it several files for the photo but that doesnt work :banghead: :( Anyway here is the area i Wanna make...

Thanks in Advance!

Btw im a newbie in Scenery Development and all my projects are gonna be freeware cause i do this for fun :)
 
Please explain how it just doesn't make images. Do you mean that while in SBX it doesn't display an image when you click on Add Map from Background, then select OK (in the window which opens after selecting resolution) or that no image file is saved to the Tools/Work directory in the same folder as where SBX resides?
TIP :idea: - when you select the area for your map from the displayed satellite image (map size) and then the 'resolution' (how many tiles to use) and click on OK a small window will open to advise how many tiles are being downloaded. do NOT click on OK until all the tiles have been downloaded. You will see the progress of tiles being downloaded at bottom left of screen. When that 'progress' reaches 0 and disappears (this might take some time depending on number of tiles downloaded) then you can click on OK (that small window then disappears), then click OK and the area of the 'map' you chose before will be displayed and your image should be created (into Tools/Work folder). This had me fooled when I first started doing satellite imagery and could be the reason why you can't find your saved image.

I found what documentation there is to either be difficult to understand in places and/or some things missing. There have been posts to other threads which say the same thing.

If you go to Youtube and search for 'SBuilderX', you will get about 1130 videos entries for it. If you search for 'SBuilderX photoreal' you'll get 386 results. These videos can show you much more than anyone can write you about the process.

Why didn't I think of that (to advise Younes). That's what I often do myself for anything I am trying to solve. As a first stop often better than a Google search.
