• 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.

In FSX invisible txiwys for ai

I used to be able to do this in FS9, making a txiwy narrower than 2 feet, create a txiwy all around the bay and back. I ended up with a nice sail boat taking off and sailing around the bay and back at specific times.

In FSX I'm trying to make the same for a friend of mine to make an ai boat to follow it. But of course all I am getting is a water taxiwy on top of built up ground to the elevation of my airport even though I specified 0 elevation. I tried ADE to flatten this, but the compile didn't work. Haven't tried Xbuilder yet, but I'm fairly sure I'd get the same results.

I think I could make another airport, so to speak,.... at water level. Bob
 
Hi,

And yes, you would have to make your 'airport' at sea level.
Of course in FSX you can also make use of the 'living world' AI and make your route with AIBTC for instance. You would not need another airport then.
 
Have no idea what both those items are. I have deluxe version. are these in the SDK, or are these separat programs? Bob
 
Hi Bob,

AIBTC is a seperate program for making your own living world sea (vessels)and land (aninals and vehicles) traffic. A more or less similar but more complicated tool is found in the SDK. Maybe FSX KML can do it also, I am not sure though.
