• 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.

Hi all, i have been using ADE to make a local airfield for FSX but what ever i try, there are trees on the runway... I have looked on the ADE website and followed all the instructions, but the trees wont budge... Please can anyone help? It would be much appreciated... Thankyou! :scratchch
 
It would help to know if you are modifying a default airport or creating a new airport that didn't exist in FSX.
 
And once we know what airport you are talking about, send us your ad4 file to check what could be wrong!
 
Luke,

Try creating a Terrain Polygon around your airfield and then using Airport Background - Exclude Autogen to remove the trees.

If this is in an ORBX area there may be a different issue.

Let us know if that works.

Please upload your project file (*.ad4) as that would be the easiest way to figure out what is going wrong at this point.
 
Looks fine to me...

Which points to either a conflicting file or addon.

Look in your root FSX folder for your terrain.cfg.

Open it in Notepad and search (Ctrl+F) for "guid={46BFB3BD-CE68-418E-8112-FEBA17428ACE}" without the quotation marks.

What you find should be...

Code: 
// Airport Backgrounds (FSX) - Flatten + MaskClassMap + ExcludeAutoGen
[Texture.164]
Name=Airport_Backgrounds_Flatten_MaskClassMap_ExcludeAutoGen
Color=FFFFFF00
guid={46BFB3BD-CE68-418E-8112-FEBA17428ACE}
FlattenMode=flat
FlattenPriority=51000
LandClassRemapType=airport
//LandClassRemapType=airport
ExcludeAutogen=Yes
RenderToTexture=No
RenderPriority=20000
Water=No

cheers,
Lane
 
Luke,

I just went in and deleted all the polys and was just down to the basic airport with you created. I then drew in a Terrain Poly - Landclass - Airfield1 and did not have any trees on the runway.

There is a technical reason for what happened to your scenery, but I can't explain it. But if you try what I did that should work.

As Lane is not seeing a problem and mentioned whether you have any add-on's, maybe a mesh or Landclass for this area is an issue,
if you have i wonder if this is causing the trees to appear, maybe something installed is causing a conflict with your airport, just a thought!

Thanks all! Bluestar, please can you send me your version of the airfield, so i can see what you did to remove the trees? thanks :)
 
I would recommend the following. First, your polygon to exclude the default background needs only to cross the boundary of the default background. There's no need to make it any larger. Second, you don't need the eight exclusion rectangles. None of the objects that they would exclude were part of the default airport and they won't exclude autogen objects. Your airport background poly should change the area it encompasses to airfield grass and eliminate the autogen plus provide the flat area that an airport needs. Third the runway start for RWY5 has been moved to the tower location and probably should be moved to the end of runway 5. Lastly you need a runway link for RWY 5 in order to connect it to your taxiway. I'm attaching your ADE project file after the modifications. No autogen present on my machine.
