MSFS Exclusion Poly to clear trees and airport back ground.

[Microdude]

There is no way to add an exclusion poly in ADE MSFS. I need to get rid of some trees in airport.

 

[toprob]

Add a poly, tag it as Vegetation and drop the density down to zero.

 

[Microdude]

Ok that seem to work but now i have roads and farms on the airport property. How do i clear every thing to just grass?

 

[Microdude]

OK There is no way to change the tag to vegetation.

 

[Microdude]

and by the way this is for ADE for MSFS

OK There is no way to change the tag to vegetation.

Yes there is I think you set the properties in the Vegetation section

 

[Microdude]

I did that and still have farms and roads.

 

[scruffyduck]

That is the underlying photo scenery layer. Even when you removed all objects etc that still stays/ I am not sure there is any way to actually remove that and get a blank surface.

Is this the trick to also eliminate a terminal (default) building with purpose to be replaced with a new building further on?

yes

Add a poly, OK, the idea is to define the poly form an size with the aircraft viewbar by starting MSFS in dev mode and "walk around the corners? I have seen that the circle is viewable in ADE 13, OK so I will try, but instead of Vegetation I chose asfalt?

I dont succed to save the poly i.e. it is there but when saving it disappear: the manual at this point (help online) dont have the same view...

OK Your third screenshot shows the terrain polgon settings for old versions of ADE - it has no meaning in ADE 2020. When you create the scenery polygon use the Exclude attributes to remove buildings.

If the poly is not visible after you create it then please check that it is set to View in the view menu. However I see a possible bug in that menu. So the option to set the view status of scenery polys may have gone missing

Simply perfect- thanks! Building gone just like that... now is the trick to get a terminal building inserted which I intend to try to take from FSX...I have the (scenery) .bgl and .dds (texture) files for this airport, I heard about a export proceedure, or do you have a better solution. If it isnt possible I have to go via Blender and build something but that is a demanding project...lets see.

That answers something I was wondering, is it possible to exclude road traffic.

 

[scruffyduck]

I am not aware of what that might be - certainly not in the tools currently created for ADE AFAIK

 

[Microdude]

thats my problem, i have a road with traffic in the middle of my airport. Thanks Jon for the Info. on the underlying map.

 

[Akkis]

1) how can I edit the yellow taxi line i.e. I am not able to get hold of them?
2) the blue lamp lights next to taxiways etc- some of them are visible- some others not? Why?

Firthermore there dont seems to be possible to export/edit the dds- file format from FSX for buildings so probably I will need to go via Blender.

 

[scruffyduck]

1. if these are taxi markings then you need to edit whether they appear or not via the Property Grid. For example Left Edge or Right Edge

I think there are issues with taxi way lights

 

[Akkis]

OK Jon, let me see.
I understand.

Use modelconverterx, much easier than faffing about with blender.
