• 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.

P3D v4 Library Object Placement

I can't get the library objects to show ontop of a image (jpg) from Google Earth for exact placement on the airport background. I have an SBX bmp but they always end up so large that when you zoom in they are always blurry so I screenshot closer to get clearer detail of hangers etc. Is there a way to do this? When I click to move up front the library object is below it and when I but it to the back the apron is on top of it. Frustrating. I hope someone knows a way to do this. Never mind, I found that only the apron is blocking my view. I saved the airport; deleted the apron, placed the hangers and then undo to put the apron back. I have learned the hard way to always save before you play with your work and end up ruining it. Well, that didn't work so I'm back to my original question. The undo moves the last hanger placed NOT the delete of the apron. So...take and move the apron out of the way; place the library object hangers and then move the apron back where it goes over the background image and that works. I figured out my own way it works but I left this post for someone else with the same problem how I fixed it. Thanks for all the help from everyone in the past. Back to the airport. BTW: KFOK Francis S. Grabowski Airport and ANG base for Prepar3D V4.5 and V5. It will be available over at the Sim Outhouse Resources next month when I finish it. There is a thread over there for it in the Prepar3D.

You can set the aprons to be partially (or completely) transparent using a key command with the apron selected (as I remember?).
 
I know Scruffy Duck is not doing any more with this. I will have to check the Manual and see. I know that in FS9 you could make taxiways and runways transparent to use over photoreal scenery and I did that with catapaults on a static cruiser in FS9 but in FSX and later I'm not sure if you still can.
