• 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.

Hi
I am new here. I downloaded the program today and installed on a remote pc via simconnect to FS X! It connects.

Now I would like to modify some Swiss airports (Geneva, Basle and Zurich); I would like to paint the gate numbers (docking numbers) on the ground in front of the terminals for online flying. Is this possible with FSX Planner?

Thanks

You can place the gates and parking locations and jetways with FSX Planner, but I believe that painting numbers on the ground requires specific textures to be displayed on the apron. FSX Planner does not deal with textures, so you will need to use another program to do that. Perhaps someone can recommend the best option for this?

Painting numbers on the ground is not something that can be done with only some XML commands from the BGLComp SDK for example. FsXPlanner gives you access to these commands in an easy way mostly.

I think you would have to make those ground polygons yourself in a tool like GMax. And then place them at the correctly location. I haven't seen a tool yet that fully supports this and makes it easy for you :).
