• 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.

Scenery or Airport for an airport project with surroundings?

Hello all.

Im not getting a satisfiying answer to the question what one should use for an airport with surroundings. The examples folders in the SDK has a scenery folder and an airport folder. Looking at the tutorials available (flyingtheston for example) they seemingly choose "Scenery" for a simple airport, for whatever reason.

Cant find the answer in the SDK doc either. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Thanks
 
The result would be the same, so it doesn't really matter. Looking at the two samples, the airport simply places airport facilities and adds a custom texture. The scenery project includes an object library and a placement file. All my projects include both, and more, so I could have started from either. Most of the contents of both would be discarded for your own project anyway, and what remains is pretty much the same thing.
After learning the basic layout from the samples, I now use my own template to start a project, so you don't actually have to use either.
