• 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.

Can't delete backgrounds from stock airports

Hi everyone

I have been trying to remove the background of a stock airport in ADE 1.79 for P3D V5 following one of the steps on this page: https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive.com/s/help_docs/m/20268/l/331650-how -do-i-remove-a-stock-airport-from-the-sim but I can't see the work done once I enter the simulator. I have tried a thousand ways to remove the background but I have not been successful. Can someone guide me in this regard? (sorry if I don't explain myself well, English is not my native language)
 
Please state the ICAO of the example stock airport you currently are unable to remove in ADE v1.79.

Hi, I maybe am confused...are you wanting to delete the stock airport from the sim completely or just some/all of the default background objects?
If its just the default/stock background (buildings, trees, etc.) and you are using ADE, this can be done with an "exclusion" rectangle. To create an Exclusion Rectangle, select the YELLOW square at the top of the ADE frame which will turn your cursor to a + sign, then mouse the + sign to a point above and to the left of the object you wish to remove and drag the resulting rectangle down and to the right to cover the are to be excluded. Once complete, you will be given the choice to "exclude all" or select from a drop-down menu of the items that can be excluded within the rectangle that you just completed drawing..
All that said, you will then need to save the airport as a "different name" and in a different place than the default airports. After the store, bring up P3D and simply "add" the newly named stock airport to the P3D Scenery Library.
 
Perhaps you could try a slightly different approach. Instead of exclude specific use exclude general and choose backgrounds from below that.
