• 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.

Newbbie, is SBuilderX the tool to use

I would like freeware or payware that would create the Mayan Riviera, but since I cannot find any I want to create it from Cancun, to Tulum, Mexico. I have never done anything like this. I am using SceneryTech North America Landclass v1.4, and the latest GEX, which I think would give me the autogen textures. The city of Cancun is reasonable, but all the buildup of hotels, Playa Del Carmen etc. is just vegetation. Any direction to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. This is for my own enjoyment. If I can do it.

Thanks,

Lynn

And you'll end up using other tools as well, but you in the right place.
I'm betting it doesnt work quite like you have in mind now... but boy are you going to have some fun...

I use it all the time... so when I'm flying, I might just pause for a second, to widen a river, add a hotel, add some steam to a chimney... change the road... or sink Australia...

Thats where you'll end up... but not tomorrow... Senor ;)
 
The fun begins. I have downloaded the tutorials and began to read some of the forum. It looks like a daunting task, but should build some new brain cells in my old brain.

Thanks,

Lynn
 
Just dont give up... its like everything else, once you click, its really easy...

Look in the help file itself... theres a section on making scenery thats very good... read that whole help file end to end...

Then try Scruffy's island tut that you will find in the "Html" folder where SBuilder is installed...

Don t worry if you don't get it all right... but one thing you must get right is the setup of the BGL folders... that must be right and the island tut tells you how... also must have FSUIPC installed...

Then... the thing that you must understand is that you don't have to be a super artist...
You program with pictures...

So try this simple thing once you got those folders right...

Start FS and fly to some desert.... pause FS... open SB...
Then tell SB to show you your aircraft....
Then click on Landclass and put four tropical rain forest tiles in...

Compile it... restart FS... fly back there and you have just made a beautiful Oasis...

See... you not painting... you programming with pictures... I just love that whole concept...

The guys here are all guru's... I think these guys actually wrote the code... so you in the right place...

When you going... also get a program called RWY12...
