• 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.

Dear all,
I am a new comer and I would like to ask to advices on how to create a scenery. Can you help with mesh terrain? How can I get them free? How can I edit them in Gmax?

I hope you can cooperate.

Hi Marco,

Mesh terrain is not made with GMax. The SDK includes some special tools to make mesh terrain. Have a look at the Terrain SDK, especially at the resample tool.
 
Hi Arno,
Thanks for your reply.
Now I have a .bgl file of the area but I would like to modify the terrain with the real texture.
How can I do that?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Marco,

If you mean with real texture that you want to place an aerial or satelite photo on your terrain than that is possible with the resample tool as well.

If that is not what you mean, can you specify your question a little more.
 
Creating a scenery from the beginning!

Hi Arno,
I'll try to be more precise:
I would like to create a scenery and I have a .bgl file that reproduces coast line and mountains. I would like to improve this scenery by adding textures as I see them from a satellite pic (googlearth for example).
I understand that this file is based on DEM (digital elevation data)... so that's fine, I do not need to get a DEM myself and start from the beginning... or do I?
Sorry to be so general but I am really new to this and I do not understand the steps. I have used the "Creating Terrain SDK" from FS2004, but it did not help that much...

Finally, aswering your question:
yes, I do mean "real texture that you want to place an aerial or satelite photo on your terrain" but how can I do that with the resample tool?

Thanks for your time
Marco
