• 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.

Rebuilding a Stock Airport

I am starting from scratch and rebuilding an airport that comes with FSX.

The Airport is Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

A problem I am having is that when the airport is compiled and loaded into FSX an number of 'stock' scenery objects appear.

These objects are taxiway signs, ils localizer buildings, control tower, terminal buildings to name a few.

Since I haven't placed any of these in the .xml or .bgl file I have created I assume they are contained withing another scenery file somewhere and FSX is getting instructions to load them despite them not being in the airport I have created.

Can anyone tell me where to find these and how to delete them?

Pleas and thank you.
 
I'm not sure where they are hiding, but here's what I did.

First I made a huge exclusion rectangle to deal with the taxiway signs. Bigger than the entire airport, so that master taxiway sign didn't evade me. I checked Exclude All Taxiway Signs on that one. Then I made a herd of smaller ones in the appropriate places to get the rest. Those, to be complete, all got checked with Exclude All Library Objects, All Generic Buildigns, and All Extrusion buildings. However since I didn't move the runways, i was careful to not accidentally exclude things I'd need like the ILS localizer or the big rotating beacon. Otherwise I'd just have to replace them myself.
 
Thanks.

I'll give it a try. So just to confirm - Exclusion Zones do not exclude things I place using FSX Planner?
 
Thanks Radivil.

Now to work on:

1. Finding out why the properly compiled .bgl file cause FSX to crash when the airport is selected, and

2. Figuring out how to get Whisplacer to work properly with the completed .bgl and/or .xml file
