• 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.

Ground Poly Line Texture Issue

Good afternoon all,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help point me in the direction before I pull out what little hair I have left on my head! :p

I'm working on updating a stock airport (CYBG) and was trying to use the ground poly line tool to create a custom hold short line. I have created and placed the line in ADE using the Ground Poly editor, and using the default "taxiway_marks.bmp" texture for it.
However, when I save and compile the airport and then load it in P3d (4.5), I can see the custom poly line no problem, but it appears that no texture is being applied and it just shows up as a gray line.

All other ground polys I've made show up fine, and I noticed that ADE creates an ADE_GP_textures folder in my working scenery folder with all the textures I've used for GP's, which I then just copy into my active scenery's "textures" folder. Upon looking in the ADE_GP_textures folder, however, I noticed that it is not generating a taxiway_marks.bmp texture to copy over to my scenery. Perhaps this is the problem?

I can't, for the life of me, however, figure out why it's not generating a texture or how to get it to generate one.
Thank you!

Did you follow the instructions near the bottom of page 24 of the user manual re use of the texture taxiway_marks.bmp? If not, that's your problem. If so, did you either:
  • compile directly to your P3D scenery folder, or else
  • copy the taximarks.bmp to the associated scenery folder?

Oops, I missed that part in the manual, but thank you, it worked! :)
