• 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.

Building issues

First off, let me say how great ADE is, it' so easy to use, and with the ability to work with buildings, it's amazing!

Now to my issues:

1. The buildings I've added seem to be floating above the ramp. I can't seem to edit their altitude to 0.0 AGL.

2. There are buildings that show up in FS that don't show in ADE so that I can remove/edit them.

3. There's some autogen scenery where it shouldn't be.

4. The green area that surrounded the stock airport isn't shaped right, how can I fix it?

I've attached the ADE file, and the background image for reference.

Thanks for any help!

If you are referring to generic buildings, that is an FSX "feature" and just about impossible to fix using generic buildings. Library object buildings should be OK.

This is probably the same issue. You need an airport background poly with tag of "exclude autogen". It looks like you have a small one around your fuel parking spot.

Same as previous, but make this poly type airport background with tag Mask Class Map or Flatten Mask Class Map depending on if you need it flat for airport surfaces.

Cool! Thanks! One problem though, I can't control the shape of the library objects like I can a generic building, and one of the styles of the generic buildings looks almost spot on to some of the T-Hangers at the real KAZO.

What to do?

With library objects you can only change them via the Scale value and this changes each dimension (width, length, height) by the same amount. Thus something that is 10x10x10 at scale 1.0 will be 5x5x5 at scale 0.5. This is nothing to do with ADE but the way that FSX works (and FS9 for that matter)
 
Ah. Well, I tried using edwardshanger0 and scaled it down alot, put a few together, and it looks ok, but not right by any means. Well, until I can make objects myself, they'll have to do, lol.

Thanks for the help.
