• 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.

Aprons disappear when Taxilines are loaded

Hey guys!
I'm having a strange problem here. I'm creating the ground for my airport in Gmax, exporting and manually editing the ASM files ( using the FS2002 tools ). The airport is for FS2004.

I've created one BGL for the Fotoreal ground ( layer 8, in the asm file ), the aprons/taxiways on another BGL ( layer 15 ). This was working perfectly, appearing exactly how I wanted. However, when I put the BGL with the markings ( taxilines, parking lines, etc... ), the aprons/taxyways disappear on the game. The markings are on another BGL ( layer 20 ).

Basically this is the structure:
ground.bgl -> Layer 8 -> foto-real ground
aprons.bgl -> Layer 15 -> runways, taxiways, aprons
lines.bgl -> Layer 20 -> taxilines, center lines, parking lines, etc...

The problem appears only when i put the lines.bgl on the "Scenery" folder. The lines appears, but the aprons don't ( if I remove the lines.bgl, the aprons appear back ). I've already tried to change the lines layer to 16, but the problem persists.

Can some help me? What is going on?
Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Fergo

Thanks for the reply José, I'll try it tomorrow.
But there is a logic behind the layers on the ASM file? I thought I could use any layer I wanted ( higher the value, more on top the layer would be ).

Hi,

Usually only layers that are a multiple of 4 are used (so 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, etc). Using the other layers does not always work. Or did not work in the past, it might also be a bad habit to use only these :)
