• 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.

YPPH - Perth Airport Master Plan - Assistance Req'd

Hi there, first time project here.
I would like to complete YPPH as per the Master Plan several billion dollar project that is transforming our city at the moment. I have attached all of the documents / imagery that I can find for the project as well as the updated bgl.
I have invested about 20hrs putting together the runways / taxiways as per the master plan and believe that it is accurate.

I need help with:
1 - a plan on how to integrate the 4 new terminals being built which are only at design phase right now.
2 - anyone who can help with turning original photographs into buildings, as I cannot understand how Instant Object Makers works for the life of me... Ideally, I could provide photography of the buildings and the sites in general.
3 - advice on how to remove trees from the new runway 03R and the right hand side new apron. I have followed YouTubes on using the ground poly, but it does not remove the trees from the OrbX Australia that I am using.
4 - anyone who knows why the intersections, VOR's are so far different from the SID's and STAR's that I'd like to have in here.

Enjoy,
Rod Meyer

Very, very complicated airport for the first timer.
I guess that you have tried to make at least something on it, but gave up because investment of 20 hrs.
Instant Object maker is tool for primitive models (cube, surface, rectangle..) YPPH is not a primitive one.
SIDs and STARs are Standard departure and arrival procedures.
VOR is VHF omnidirectional range. VOR produces an angle between the station and the receiver in the aircraft.
As per your saying that you "would like to complete YPPH" then you need to start from another end.
Invest your time in learning Free Blender 3D or if you can afford 3ds max. it will take you 100 times more than "20 hours", but you will gain finally and then we would talk about help.
If you still need help at this stage then i suggest your project is going to be somebody's else than yours.
 
Huh, fascinating. SketchUp is free and produces excellent models for FSX, FS9 and P3D. Plus the user has the option of easily integrating all the existing models in the area using the SU Warehouse.
Everything else, the trees, the navaids; that just requires studying the particular problem - trees on the runway are specific to that particular airport .bgl, you would want to search "excludes," "ground polygons" and "autogen." YouTube is cool, but I learned the vast majority of my FSX skill from this site alone, so...search more and have at it!
 
Thank You FSFOX, I agree there is a LOT for me to learn in order to take on this project properly. In the last month I have taken on two other airports from scratch and followed a YouTube tutorial from Sagga Toure through the entire process which has really helped. I will look into Blender3D and 3DS Max, Sketchuo in the meantime. Thanks for getting back to me with honest feedback.

regards,
Rod
