• 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.

FSX Landable Island

I know there was a 2010 thread on this, but I didn't see anyone come up with a solution. Does anyone know how to make a landable island for use in FSX or is it even possible?

Here's what I have: I have created my own 'fictional' airport project on Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. Among other things including PR LC I have a body of water (A lake if you will) over a PR LC, this all works fine, but what I want to do is place a "Small" Island in the center of that lake. I've tried the "hole" thing outline in several threads and tutorials, but none of them work. Now the 'lake' was created using ADE (Not Sbuilder) because I can never get the water class in Sbuilder to work the way I want it to for reasons that would take forever to explain. Anyway, ignoring all of that, can you successfully create a 'solid' landable island using either ADE or SbuilderX that will actually work. If no one has ever been able to do this, then I won't persue it any further. I don't want to fool with anything that is going to take MONTHS or YEARS to accomplish. If there is no "semi-Simple' way to do this, then I won't bother with it. I don't want to have to keep zipping files, uploading files, then linking files all the time. If it's possible to do successfully, then all I want is a step-by-step instruction on how. If it's not doable, then I won't fool with it.
So the basic question is....Can you make a landable island using ADE or SBX? Yes or No? If yes, please explain. P.S.: I'm a NOOB, I don't know much about design or creating graphics and all that. I have BASIC knowledge of SbuilderX,and some more complicated knowledge of ADE. I have limited knowledge of all this QMID stuff. To put it gently, I'm a "newborn" that needs to learn to "walk" before he can "run".
