• 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.

FS2004 ASM tweaking into library objects?

Messages

I learnt to model very nice apron and runway markings with loft method and CAT tweaking in .asm, and that's OK.
But still I need a long time to position them precisely, because I first need to find the right place for a single marking, as a reference point, and then draw and position in Gmax all the rest by trial and error.

Is there a method to include a compiled tweaked .asm into a library object, and place it via Instant Scenery in a painless way, as it is possible for 3d non-tweaked mdl's?
Thanks for suggestions

Hi Stefano,

No, tweaked ground polygons can not be put in library BGL files. They use different code that only works when put directly in BGL files.

If you have a well calibrated background image in GMax when you are drawing the runway, taxiways, etc, getting it at the right location should not be too much trial and error though.
