• 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.

Transparent taxilines?

Hello again my friends, ;)
Is it possible to design transparent taxi lines in Airport for windows, something like what we have in FlyTampa Dubai scenery? I have tried different methods but without any success :( . I used road method to create taxi lines but the problems is that the transparent texture doesn’t appear transparent and also there is layer problem .The taxi lines (road actually) disappear when I select different layer than 16 .I should use higher layer like 30 to make them appear above my Gmax runway. Do you have any suggestion? Should I design the taxi lines in gmax too?
Is it possible to use line command method in Airport for windows but with a texture other than fs default?

Regards
Touradg
 
Hi Touradg,

It is indeed a known problem that transparant textures do not work on road objects. So you would have to use a different technique if you really need to use a transparant texture.

About the layering, if you have made your runway in GMax, it should not be a problem to get it at layer 12 or so :). The problem with the roads being always on 16 is only a problem if you use the old style Runways, as these have a fixed layer.

If you want more flexibility you could indeed make your taxilines in GMax as well, but personally I find the old road objects easier to work with and in most cases they are sufficient as well.
