• 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.

    FSX Adding a tram to Orlando Int. KMCO

    I would like to add the missing "elevated" passenger tram that goes between the main terminals at KMCO, but I'm not sure how to do this in ADE? Is there a example on how to best create this in ADE? Also, what about the "tram" itself? Thanks for your help. Scott

    FSX KLAS tower not showing....

    Ok, it looks like it worked. Wow, the new tower is VERY tall(!) What is a good scale to use? I have always used 1.00 as a scale for any object.... Scott

    FSX KLAS tower not showing....

    Ok, I think I've got it now... I loaded the Paris.bgl file into ModelConverterX and found the "CDG tower a" image file. I then converted it to a .MDL. Then I added this file to the Model list in ADE. Then I copied all the CDG files mentioned above to my addon scenery/texture folder. Now I...

    FSX KLAS tower not showing....

    I found these .dds files in the EURW/texture folder: CDG_towers_Shateton.dds CDG_towers_ShatetonSpecular.dds CDG_towers_Shateton_LM.dds These are also in the global/texture folder: CDG_towers_Shateton.dds CDG_towers_Shateton_LM.dds I assume these are the textures for the tower. Scott

    FSX Taxiway shoulder stripping...

    Is there a tutorial on how to make taxiway shoulder "stripes"? The one seen on just about every taxiway at all major airports (KLAX. KMIA, KFFK, Etc). A good step-by-step tutorial on how to make these with ADE would be good info to know. Scott

    FSX KORD RWY 14L VASI setup...

    Thanks for the explanations guys! Now I have a better understanding on how to make any adjustments to the glideslope location/beam. And those numbers did fix my VASI location, so that now it works correctly. Thanks again! Scott

    FSX KORD RWY 14L VASI setup...

    Thanks Jim and Ray. I will try those numbers for the location and see what happens. What about bean width of the glide-slope? Some runways have 3.0, some have 6.0? Does it depend on the runway width? Is there a standard beam width in SDE? Scott

    FSX KORD RWY 14L VASI setup...

    I recently had to adjust the ILS/glide-slope "cone" in ADE for the default KORD 14L. (The default glide-slope/ILS had me touching down halfway down the runway) However, now the VASI lights are always telling me I am too high (all white) for the entire approach. I need a detailed explanation on...

    FSX Service vehicles not showing all the time at the gate...

    At 10AM, I made a short flight to CYYZ. After landing Ground sent me to my parking spot that I always use (I have a reserved parking spot). When I taxied into the spot, the service vehicles (Push back tug, Baggage loader/Cart Etc.) where at the gate waiting for me. I made the same flight again...
