• 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.

MSFS24 Problem developing a small airport with no parking

Problem developing a small airport with no parking. There are thousands of generic airports in MSFS2024 that have no parking. When developing those airports, you get a problem right away because you need to start the development from the runway with the engine running. It's irritating. Attached is a small app that can make a parking spot overlaying the generic airport, so you have a place to enter your Devmode without the plane running. Follow the app's GUI inputs, and the output is a package ready to compile with the packagetool. Grab the resulting package, and put it in your Community folder. Now when you select the airport in the main menu, you'll have a parking spot, and a cold and dark plane.

To get the generic airport code, use MSFS2024 BGL2XML
Attached is the noparking.txt that lists all the MSFS2024 generic LAND airports without parking and where to find them with the VFSprojection in msfs2024. Just copy the proper APX file to your harddrive somewhere, and extract your airport. I just list the land-based airports.

Get the app here:

Updated: version2 will create a package that works for 2020 as well as 2024.
