• 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,

I am not new to FSXplanner but I haven't used it in about a year. The problem I am having is after I compile my airport (an existing airport or a new one.) to BGL I go to FSX and choose the airport. The problem is...the changes and/or new parts/ airports are not showing up. There is no change what so ever. When I create a new airport I show up at where it should be but there is no runway..or anything else! I have tried everything! Please help! :confused:

P.s. I have enabled the scenery in FSX.
 
Does any part of the airport show up correctly? In the list of airports in FSX your new one is at the top?
 
I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to create just a runway to get started (I'm new to FSXPlanner). It won't show on the list and not in the game. It does show up on the map though. I have also enabled the scenery.
 
Do you mean the airport shows up on the map within fsx? when you compiled the bgl did you make sure that runways should be included in the bgl?
 
Ya, it's on the in-game map, just there's nothing there. Ya, I just check and made sure "Write Runways" was checked when compiling, still nada.

Does it matter if the runway elevation is of by a few ft? I might not have been perfectly precise.

Yes it does matter if the runway elevation is wrong. Below the airport and it will not show. Above the airport and it might show at certain angles and heights. Runway altitudes need to match the airport altitude and the airport area must be flat at the airport altitude
 
Ok, I got the elevation right (checked it in-game), and this is a 500 x 50 ft runway. Airport and runway elevation are the same, but still can't find the runway, and it is still showing up on the in-game map.

how did you check it in game? not using the aircraft altimeter - that does not show the ground altitude
