• 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.

FSX annotator

Im using UTX europe and genx vfr uk and ive followed the fsx annotator tutorial and placed my trees and saved it and made sure the saved files go in the VFR texture folder but im not seeing anything in FSX. been stuck on it for about 6 hours now.

Ive tried putting the scenery folder at the top of the scenery order.

Ive done exactly what the manual says so cant see whats wrong.
hope you can help, thanks.
 
What are you annotating?

The annotations need to be anchored to either a texture tile, or a photoreal resampled bgl to work.

The annotation will only appear where that tile/texture appears.

I read that somewhere but I dont know how to anchor it.

Im just adding trees and forrests and maybe buildings.

I used autotrees in fs2004, its an awesome gadget loved it.

No ... perhaps I wasn't clear.

The base texture or imagery IS the anchor.

I see. so it is anchored then because I have opened it in annotator and then added trees.

Im annotating the genx vfr photoreal terrain
 
yes ive sussed it, i was using the wrong path, i should have been using

D:\Program Files (x86)\Horizon Simulation\VFR-Gen-X-2.0\Volume3\Area2\2.4m Photo\Scenery

not

D:\Program Files (x86)\Horizon Simulation\VFR-Gen-X-2.0\Volume3\Area2\1.2m Photo\Scenery

Thanks for picking my brains man, you had me sniffing in the right area, cheers
