• 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.

FS2004 Problem deleting default road

I'm having an issue deleting a section of default road in FS9. The road runs right through a new taxiway I created.

I can cover this road with an airport boundary created on layer 10, but at night, I still get lights appearing above where the road is located (I use UT USA night lighting effects). I checked the UT forums and no solution was offered, so I figured if I can exclude that section of road, the UT lights would likely disappear. Am I right assuming this?

Well, I loaded SBuilder and connected to FS9. I then created a poly around the section of road I want to exclude. I checked the exc box in poly properties and set my layer to 6. I compiled the file and placed it in an active scenery folder. Loaded flight sim and the road is still there. I also tried layers 5,7,8, and 10 all with same results.

So, I'm scratching my head here. What am I doing wrong?

I think Ultimate Terrain FS9 road lights are not vector lights, so a vector exclude won't work. You'll need to exclude them as objects???

You might try looking for the UT forum on the web. I'm sire they can give you better info.

My thought wad if I could exclude the road, then maybe the lights would not show at night. My problem is I can't even exclude the road. That's the real issue right now. I'm certain it's an FS9 default road, as I had a friend take a look on his system (he does not use UT) and he sees the road. What other layers should I try excluding so I can get this section of road to go away?
