Default Scenery Buildings

[sylalonde]

I am trying to make 48V more realistic but where the taxiway moves into the flyin community a building is sitting on this taxiway and I want to get rid of it but have no clue. I use Abacus EZ scenery, Rwy 12 Object Placer and Traffic Tools. Is there someone that could help me?

You need to create an exclusion rectangle where the building is. Hopefully that will remove it.

I assume you are using FS9? You can create excludes manually using XML or you can use a tool such as EXCBuilder2.

Default Building in FS9

Jon, I am using FS9 and I don't do XML but am working on that. I will look into EXCBuilder2. With XML what file is the exclude put in. I am very green when it comes to scenery design on that level. I like your work and hope to be able to do such quality one day.

EXCBuilder - Works Fine

Jon, Trying to exclude many areas won't work as maybe i am trying to doit. I have my .xmls below and I want to combine and compile them to exclude many buildings. How do I combine them?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData
version = "9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >
<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "40.0010894829556"
latitudeMaximum = "40.0176013313521"
longitudeMinimum = "-105.049950246766"
longitudeMaximum = "-105.025657945496"
excludeGenericBuildingObjects = "TRUE"
/>
</FSData>


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData
version = "9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >
<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "40.0049164006511"
latitudeMaximum = "40.0052405786614"
longitudeMinimum = "-105.041165988008"
longitudeMaximum = "-105.040765209792"
excludeGenericBuildingObjects = "TRUE"
/>
</FSData>

Your help is very welcomed.

Combined your XML would look like this:

xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData
version = "9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >

<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "40.0010894829556"
latitudeMaximum = "40.0176013313521"
longitudeMinimum = "-105.049950246766"
longitudeMaximum = "-105.025657945496"
excludeGenericBuildingObjects = "TRUE"
/>

<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "40.0049164006511"
latitudeMaximum = "40.0052405786614"
longitudeMinimum = "-105.041165988008"
longitudeMaximum = "-105.040765209792"
excludeGenericBuildingObjects = "TRUE"
/>

</FSData>

Not all buildings are generic buildings. You might want to try the excludeAll option instead of just excluding generic buildings.

ExcBuilder

Jon
I did go with the exclude all. It works much better, for when I was doing the rectangle exclude it was not getting everything. Thank you for your help.

Are you working in FS9 or FSX?? in any case some autogen is not removed by the XML exclude rectangle. What are you still seeing that you want to get rid of?

Fs9

Jon,
There is nothing remaining that I included in the area to wipe clean. I exclude most everything except objects so I will be able to customize it myself. I just build an exclude defining about 4 different exclude areas and compiled that XML file and it did exactly what I expected.

Working in FS9

Sorry, I keep meaning to let you know that I am working with FS9.
