• 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.

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently looking for someone whom knows how to place an aerial photo into Fs2004 while keeping the AFCAD taxiways and runways visable.

If you know how to do thi please contact me via PM, as I really need help.

I'm more then willing to pay for this to be done.

Thanks

Aaron

P.S. This will be for Sydney Australia YSSY

Hi Everyone,

Just another thought, this could also be done an easier way, first make the base in Gmax then put the aerial over the top. As you would use alpha to cut the water, you could use alpha to cut out the runway or tawiways for that matter. What do you think? Is somone willing to make the object in Gmax? I can do the texture work.

Once again you would be paid for your work, but the object must fit the airport.

Thanks

Aaron
 
Hi Aaron,

If you want the AFCAD/XML scenery to show on top of your photo, it is easiest to place it with the resample tool from the SDK. The only downside of this method is that you are limited to a resolution of 4.8 meters per pixel.

Doing it in GMax with the alpha as you describe, would be possible. But I think it would be a lot of work to align the AFCAD and the alpha channel properly. So I would not prefer that method myself.

I've now the resample tool but i dont know how to do it work I mean i dont know what i have to do with that program... I've a .bgl file with the photoreal texture in the correct position and also another .bgl file with the afcad...

So how to put the afcad file above the texture?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

If you have already produced a BGL with resample and another with AFCAD, then they should appear just fine if you load them in FS.

Or do you mean that the BGL with the photo texture has been produced differently (not with resample)?
