• 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.

    Same Scenery File - Displayed Differently

    background info I have added 9 parking docks to a freeware scenery file developed by another party which I am using explicitly for my formation team’s use. The airport is CYFC. The .bgl file that I used for the airport I assume was created using the stock (default) file for that airport. I also...

    Visual Parking - Parking Docks

    What I mean is the pilot can see his proper spot for parking by some form of marking on the tarmac where his designated dock resides. It should be a circle or square with either a cross or a number (image attached) is this even possible to accomplish?

    FSX-SE Crashes at Free Flight - Start Flight

    Here is what I have figured out to make my project work: 1. I have to work from the FSXSE Stock Airport (in this case CYFC Fredericton) 2. Add my objects (Parking pads) 3. Compile the airport using my custom name (for test purposes, I used TEST) 4. Copy/paste the .bgls into the Addon Scenery -...

    FSX-SE Crashes at Free Flight - Start Flight

    Just a bit of the history; The file I am working with is fredcyfc.zip I believe the developer may have started with the stock airport file from FS9 and added his items to the stock .bgl. He then compiled to the present AF2_CFCYbgl. If I try to open that in ADE, it reports no airport information...

    FSX-SE Crashes at Free Flight - Start Flight

    My apologies for doing so - I really did not know that I had done that. I guess when one is 78 years old that anything can happen. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though -

    FSX-SE Crashes at Free Flight - Start Flight

    I have added a few parking pads (Docks) to an airport scenery file. This file was not made by me - I am just adding to it. My file compiles with no errors or warnings. In FSX-SE, the sim crashes immediately when Start Flying is clicked i am not certain, but I think the original file I am...

    compile error: airport design editor helipad must be >3.3 and<50000

    Hi Ed - Thnx for the info There were two helipads at that airport and when I saw the compile error, i deleted hem. I zoomed in as close as I could and see no remnants of the helipads. I even zoomed way out to see if by some chance the original developer inadvertantly dropped an orphan helipad or...
