• 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.

    MSFS KSZP- Santa Paula - Available

    +1 ^^^^ KSZP was my home airport for 30 years and a very special place. So realistic it makes me homesick. Any chance you will port it over to P3D? My computer is too low spec for MSFS.

    Correct scaling of Guy Diotte models?

    I've tried to add several of the beautiful Guy Diotte models to my airport scenery but I've always been surprised by how HUGE they are. Is there one consistent scaling reduction to bring them into conformity with our other static aircraft?

    P3D v4 how are runway names and AFCADs associated?

    I have solved the problem by creating a new AFCAD in ADE, but the basic question remains... Where are the runways stored for ATC reference?

    P3D v4 how are runway names and AFCADs associated?

    I posted this on Orbx user forum and also created a support ticket w/ them but the problem hasn't been solved yet so I thought I'd dig deeper and try to research it myself. re: Orbx NA Socal KEDW when I spawn a flight at KEDW on rwy 4L and request straight out departure default...

    P3D v4 laborious first attempt to add photo scenery to ADE

    SBuilder opens now without the irritating FSX path. The ptsim failure must have been an anomaly. It opens perfectly today. I will peruse the forum and tutorials. I don't know if I have Visual Basic 6 but I do have the free version of FSUIPC and I may spring for the upgrade. Much of your...

    P3D v4 laborious first attempt to add photo scenery to ADE

    Thanks again Gary. I just downloaded V3.15 today and see the "Google_api3_Satellite" selection. Should I delete previous versions of SBuilder? It installed as just a folder with contents. I installed outside of the P3D root drive (C). I tried to add www.ptsim.com to my security exceptions but...

    P3D v4 laborious first attempt to add photo scenery to ADE

    Can anyone look at the initial four files I posted and see if there are any glaring errors for an airport that is located at 36.0523611, -93.3673250 ?

    P3D v4 laborious first attempt to add photo scenery to ADE

    Yes as I grabbed the Geo coordinates for the rwy center from the cursor on Google Earth and set that as my ARP. I then created the rwy from that point on the correct headings. Where is or how do you access "downloader for Google imagery tiles" in Sbuilder X? I could not find it. I tried to find...

    P3D v4 laborious first attempt to add photo scenery to ADE

    Thanks for the help Gary. See attached. As you can see I was attempting to create a small short field airstrip near one of our recreation areas.

    P3D v4 laborious first attempt to add photo scenery to ADE

    I took a Google Earth image and processed it thru SBuilder, Gimp, and resample.exe. It ain't pretty but it did work... sorta. The image looks like it's 90 or 270 degrees out of sync with the ADEX file. What coordinates would be out of whack to make it do this? I had to spoof the extension on...

    What's going on with VLVT in Vietnam project AA?

    Yep that was it. It is VnW War Project Air America. I grew up in the South and appreciate all your Classic Airports and terminals. My first commercial flight was in a DC3 that touched down three times between Jackson and Baton Rouge. We used to meet my grandmother at the fence at Hawkins field...

    Ghost ship at VLVT Air American VnW War Project P3D 4.5

    As I am waiting for the new improved P3D Vietnam air war project to come to fruition, I took off from Vientiane to fly to Long Tieng L20A. L20A looks great as usual but I noticed some grass patches of taxiway that needed fixing at VLVT. I imported the default VLVT_ADEX_JG.BGL file into ADE and...

    What's going on with VLVT in Vietnam project AA?

    I created a flight in P3D 4.5 from VLVT and although I could see the taxi markings on the background (they don't seem to show on this view), it seemed to be missing a lot of the taxiway paving. The little gray area that shows between the threshold of 31 and the parking areas is an apron...

    fault finder errors and land class question

    Thanks Scruffy. With better understanding I cleared the faults one by one. My little airport came out great!

    fault finder errors and land class question

    P3D4.5 Orbx SoCal As I develop some facility with ADE, I've been revamping a nominal version of one of my favorite RW airports, Santa Paula CA KSZP. The attached CSV file details the errors found by fault finder tool. I'm not sure what they mean and how to go about rectifying them. I have...

    one dang tree on runway and it's driving me crazy

    Thanks Gary. Lots to study there. Your Google Earth comparison has spurred me to make a more accurate KSZP. It is a gem of an antique and GA airfield. There's a reason Steve McQueen made his home there.

    one dang tree on runway and it's driving me crazy

    Thanks Gary. Good info. I see the ground poly tool in ADE but where (or how) do I create or obtain the textures?

    one dang tree on runway and it's driving me crazy

    Ed thanks for your suggestions. I found the problem. Somehow I deleted or moved the default Orbx FTX files for KSZP and it created the problem. When I reinstated them, the custom ADE KSZP I made was restored without issue.

    one dang tree on runway and it's driving me crazy

    I ran a search and I couldn't come up with a previous post that seemed completely pertinent to my issue. I'm running P3D 4.5 and have built a nominal representation of KSZP with ADE. I've had this custom addon working great before but I don't know what has changed. I have placed it over Orbx...
