• 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.

FSX Tools for taxiline

where can I find a decent tutorial to sharpen and expand the basic skills?

other than the basic tutorials on making house, and such, the wiki section has some nice information on how to do some specific things you would do for most common things like taxiways, ground polys (even though Arno has done some great things with MCX for doing ALOT of the guesswork out of ground poly goodies, so the ground polys should be done with MCX process imho.)

I would go through some of the wiki how-to's and it may even give you some ideas to try and incorporate.
 
Can we export the xml/ asm file from ade/afcad then tweak it the layer whether can be on top position so we can get the default taxiline right? :D just analyze.


Hi EdGeneer,
Still dont understand why do we need a circular template. :rolleyes:
 
I think Arno and Scruffy should just joins heads on this and create a little plug-in inside ADE to export taxilines into Max. There... problem solved, :D.

A circular template just lets you use the template without having to rotate it but a little each time (thats if your even going to use snap... a template with many sides could serve fine with no rotation, if your only placing by hand). It seems more flexible that a square or rectangular template... I suppose you could make it rectangular, and just rotate it exact each time...
 
Guys I'm developing my base airport and I agree with you that Loft method is a bit tedious, but think it's most used approach or am I wrong?
But when I made my taxilines how to I match them with those on ADE stock airport?

Again what I have not understand is the approach method for parkings and other ground signs (hold short, runway ahead etc etc). Have I to do a specific poligons for them all?
