• 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.

Adding Landmarks

As a MSFS2020 beginner coming from X-Plane and WED, there is still a lot to learn for me to be able to create the desired output with the SDK.

I don’t plan to create a new Airport right now but like to:
  • Remove buildings and vegetation where I know they don’t belong
  • Add some landmarks (I have modeled in Blender) at the correct location
  • (if already possible) correct some roads and bridges to avoid cars driving where they surly can’t drive in reality
  • Do some terraforming, i.e. add a missing lake
The instructions I found all start with a new Airport. Does that mean I have to attach all my landmarks to a (nearby) airport (which I have to recreate as I can’t edit existing airport) or can this be achieved without an associated airport?

Not at all, an airport is just another scenery element, you could easily just place a single landmark if you want.

Thanks a lot! I'm now able to add the first objects and exclude some unwanted objects. Still a long way to master the SDK.
