• 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 Adding a Mountain Texture; Easy?

Hey all,

We have a couple of mountains in Phoenix I would like to repair and just wondered... Is it easy to just paint a mountain with a texture? Could someone like me do this? Is there a program you recommend that can paint a mountain (section of scenery) in FSX/P3D, particularly P3D?

I would love to do some touchups to the Phoenix area.

I had done scenery in FS2004 like 15 years ago. Loved it. But I know that FSX is quite a bit different and there is more to it. I have been out of the loop and basically now remember nearly nothing about it, except finding GPS coordinates to locate hangers in the sim and facing them the right way. And that has nothing to do with a mountain.

Hi Bill:

SBuilderX could make your custom photo-real aerial imagery land class BGL.

There is good high resolution elevation data of the USA freely available for making terrain mesh as well.

Many thanks, GaryGB. I'll check that out.

Caleb, two of the mountains I have in mind have Luke Air Force Base near one and Sky Harbor airport by the other. KPHX is Sky Harbor.

Maybe you could open the nearest airport in ADE and find the coordinates for the mountain in ADE and draw a ground poly and assign a custom drawn image to it.

Probably not the way you are supposed to do it but it might work.
