• 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.

Hello,

I've been away from airport design for a few years and now I'm picking it up again.
Back when I was active I used https://www.ptsim.com/sbuilder/gmaps.htm for background images, however that tool seems broken.
What do you use to get background images and coordinates for the corners nowadays?

I personally use SBuilderX with any freeware plugins, but I honestly recommend after finishing the ground with a freeware imagery, get yours one from Harris Mapmart for commercial use.

Okay, not sure I follow you. You mean it's possible to extract background images from SBuilderX along with coordinates that can then be imported in ADE?

Did you enter the co-ordinates from the airport reference point, un-tick the box on the left marked offline. Every time you zoom in press OK
