• 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.

    P3D v4 New airport taxiway not showing

    Amazing stuff! I hope I can learn. Perhaps if you are willing to send me 'workflows' so that I can follow each step. I guess this would add to your workload, but it would allow me to get up to speed rapidly. My old brain (close to 80 years) is still ticking over pretty well, but I am time...

    It is installed in its own folder on a separate drive from any flight sim. I haven't linked it to a sim. The scenery glitches are the same as before showing duplicate airports top down screenshots #18, #22. Yes but no AEC file set specific to PAKY. There are ABP.PAKY.bgl and APT.PAKY.bgl...

    Hi GaryGB! That is a very kind and generous offer. Of course, it would be fantastic! I only hope my ancient brain is still up to it 🤔 I would be grateful for a bit of guidance on how to get fired up again in SBuilderX. I'm pretty sure I used Sketchup in FS2004 with hundreds of Nova and other...

    This is fascinating stuff! I have PAKY working now but only by using the 'nuclear' option of uninstalling Global Vector from P3Dv4. The result at Karkuk is very pleasing - decent scenery with boulders and scree showing nicely. (attached). I checked out quite a few airports which I thought...

    Amazing stuff. I doubt if I have enough years left in my tank to get some of these design programs working. I wish....! Having said that, way back I was able to use Airport for Windows, Rwy 12, SceneGenX, ExcBuilder and another program I can't recall for making custom buildings e.g a flying...

    I am staggered and very grateful! Thank you for unravelling the Global Hell into which I innocently drew you. I suppose I should have realised that Global FTX products had the potential to relocate airports and runways. I did not realise as i should that FTX Vector would use a different data...

    I will try that. In the meantime I found this vector .bgl in Orbx (attached). I just wonder if this is doing something anomalous. All the ORBX folders are below PAKY so it should not, I guess. Pathway on my PC is: F:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D...

    Not a typo! The screenshot in #20 is P3Dv5. Unfortunately, I am more or less at square one wrt v4. Thanks for researching the CVX vector exclude. It would seem that this is not the problem. I am not sure how to interpret the TmfViewer output - looks a bit like SBuild from way back. I...

    Two runways - an anomaly Not two altitudes at runway ends- altitude in cockpit is 20 ft lower at threshold of Rwy 28 than the altitude shown in the ADE.ad4 project file. I will check for a CVX vector although I am not exactly sure how. It is up to me to find out. :cool:

    P3D v4 New airport taxiway not showing

    Guys, I am really grateful for all the interest and help. But, I do not know where the idea that I wanted two runways came from. I just want to add a taxiway from the ramp at PAKY to Rwy 28 in P3Dv4. Nothing more. Not being too well informed in these things, it looks to me like the stock...

    P3D v4 New airport taxiway not showing

    Thanks. Are you referring to the FSX-SE or the P3Dv4 scenery? My modified PAKY shows up fine in FSX-SE. The problem is P3Dv4. I have been tweaking sceneries since FS2002 and am aware of the need sometimes to click white space in the 'activation' box. If I had failed to do that then I could...

    P3D v4 New airport taxiway not showing

    Success, up to a point. I have the modified PAKY showing fine in FSX-SE using P3Dv1.4x SDK for the .ade compile. But, there's some odd Scenery Library behviour, as it did not work first or second time. Using Edit Area to check, I found that FSX-SE was loading the scenery from the P3Dv4 Addon...

    Thanks for this information. Tomorrow (Friday) I will try setting ADE up for FSX-SE and make a similar small scenery at PAKY. The SDK is built into FSX-SE - very handy.

    Aw, thanks so much for doing all this, GaryGB! I only got time now (midnight) to take a quick look at your post, but I can see you have taken a lot of trouble. I appreciate it very much. I'm a 24/7 sole carer so getting time (and peace!) to work through your links and suggestions isn't easy...
