• 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.

    GP lines color

    Is it possible to change the color of GP lines (ie. taxiway or Rwy) center lines from pure white to make for a "Weathered / used" appearance ? An off-white such as light gray would be good. I have attempted to do this in the ADE-GP Ground Poly Editor, Ver 2.2.21 with it's "change color"...

    ADE taxi and hold short polys not showing

    I've been trying different layering and compiling techniques. Presently the GP layering is the ADE GP default (layer 24); however compiling with the " Generate FS8, style GPs " block checked yielded the attached result which is a minor victory here ~:) Can anyone suggest a method for making...

    FSX startup error / fail

    Thank you Tom I deleted the Remote line and that fixed the problem. I've done lots of this stuff and not seen this sort of problem and naturally I'd like to know what caused it ~:) Ken

    Runway markings

    Very interesting technique Tom. Not sure about the software process, but I've noticed that whenever I place an apron adjacent to a Rwy, it very conveniently slips it's edges underneath the edge of the Rwy yielding a nice clean joining (with no fuss on my part ~:) Ken

    Runway markings

    Thank you for the very helpful instructions Tom. I followed your instructions (above) exactly, and the runway markings appeared (screen cap below) . Some of this stuff just seems magical; but I am taking notes ~:) Many thanks, Ken

    Runway markings

    I just converted another French Polynesian Island, Hikeuru airport (NTGH) from coral surface to asphalt. No problems with markings (so far) >> The real world NTGH is asphalt now. Now I am going to add some aprons and some other minor details ~:) AND hope that the markings don't mysteriously...

    Runway markings

    Hi Tom, Thank you for your reply, and for offering help. The ad4 is attached. It's a fairly simple project. >> An atoll in the French Polynesian Islands that I found floating a fur piece from where it should be. I verified the real world location using Google Earth and moved the "USS" NTKM...

    Runway markings

    Hi, While moving an airport and associated runway the markings (ie. idents, centerline, theshholds, etc.) all initially were present in FSX. However after I added runway "turnarounds" at the ends of the runway, all of these markings vanished. And I am no longer able to apply them.. Did I...

    Airport / Runway relocation question

    FSX Accel airport and runway were on the water, near the atoll where they should be. I relocated / moved the airport and it looks better on dry land ~:) However when I exit FSX and then restart FSX and load the aircraft at relocated airport, it does not load at the new location. It loads...

    Asphalt runway edge line question

    I deleted the files and started again with default airport. Still have the Rwy edge lines. Don't know where to begin looking for problem poly / file. I wonder if something in Orbx is causing this. Not a huge deal, but I like to know why stuff happens ~:) Ken

    Asphalt runway edge line question

    Thank you for the tip. I opened the airport in ADE and opened the File Priority Analyzer tool. I have not used his tool before and found it very interesting. It showed two layers > the layer I created with ADE for the Addon scenery folder; and what appears to be the FSX "Stock" scenery...

    Asphalt runway edge line question

    My rig > ADE 178, FSX Accel, Win 7-64 I was working with an asphalt runway tonight and could not eliminate the runway edge lines by unchecking the appropriate block on the "Markings" tab. The only blocks that are checked are Rwy Center Line, Rwy Threshold Lines and Rwy Ident. And yet ADE...
