• 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.

Taxiway problem

Hi

I'm new to SDE and to FSX scenery design, this is my first post here.
I just came across SDE and i am trying to understand the program.
I used the scanner function to find LPPM airport because i wanted to fix the taxiway which is on the right side of runway 29 instead of the left side. The problem is that in SDE this airport does not have a taxiway. I just see the runways but no taxiway. But in FSX there is one taxiway. How can i change it to the other side?

If anyone could be so kind to point me in the right direction for building one runway (step by step guide) in a new airport from scratch i would be grateful also. :)

Thanks in advance.
 
The airport data for Portimao does not contain any taxiway information. Are you saying that one is visible in FSX?

There is no taxiway data in either the FSX or FS9 records

Taxiways are made up of a series of taxipoints, parkingpoints and taxipaths. None of these are present in the Bgl file for this airport.

SDE is not a beginners tool at the moment. It has no map based interface to help design and modify airports (as with AFCAD) however that is in development.

The image below shows LPPM (Portugal) FSX default scenery.

As we can see, the default scenery has no taxiway at all.

If you are seeing anything besides what that image shows, certainly you have installed a new scenery or had an old one in FS9 and activated it for FSX.

You need to find where those scenery's files are installed and edit the AFCAD using AFCAD2 tool. As Jon said, SDE has not yet a graphical interface for that.

Yet, you can contact the scenery's author and ask him to put the taxiway in the right position.

Good luck.

Best regards,

José

Hi Jon

Thanks for your answer. I used to create some scenery for FS9. I am a begginer in creating FSX scenery and SDE and FSX KML are new to me. But i guess i'm starting to understand these tools better, so i hope to pass the beginner phase soon. :)

I found out it was an AFCAD from MyTraffix X that created the taxiway. I will fix it with AFCAD now. Thanks for your answer. ;)
