• 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.

Harbor Obstruction

Well im now in the building and restoreation phase of GTMO's Harbor. Req a lot of landclass polywork and water works. Ive found ADE is perfect for use in buiding GTMO complete considering the nature and location of the NAS. Anyway these nutty buildings wont leave. I applied the same airport backround and flatten like i did to get McCalla restored to FSX sim. But they dont want to get out. Any ideas on how to evict these unwanted tenants?

Is this a stock airport? if so can you let me have the ICAO?

If there is no stock airport at this location then ADE won't find these objects.
 
GTMO's only known Default ICAO in FSX is MUGM. GTMO is the ICAO for windward side or McCalla Field which MS forgot and i restored in FSX.
 
OK but that goes back to my question. Is this a new airport that you created or part of MUGM?
 
Yes leeward (MUGM) is the only default area in FSX. So the windward side GTMO is new. So im assuming the Harbor might have to have its own ICAO like my GTMO Hospital Zone.
 
OK if you created a new airport from scratch then ADE will not find the buildings associated with it. An airport background polygon tagged to flatten and exclude will remove autogen items including some buildings and trees. It will not remove generic buildings or library objects. This needs a regular exclusion rectangle and at the moment ADE does not allow users to create these. This is a particular problem when starting with a new airport. I am still not clear how far from MUGM this is but if it is outside the search radius that ADE uses to find buildings etc then that would explin not being able to remove them.

Creating an exclusion rectangle is quite simple however
 
It appears i need to create a separate exclude except i never did one. MUGM's Radius circle ends half way thru the entrance channel.
 
Ok i preformed a experiment useing ADE and FSX planner R28 build. I just scanned the ade bgl with fsx planner and laid down the exclude square and hello no more buildings and no CTD. Thought id take a scientific wild beep guess i learned in collage comp science. It worked. Can you think of anything that could go wrong if useing the two in tandam as long as the ade is used for the primary Afcad?

Generally we would not recommend using more than one utility - each handles things in a particular way and you may find that stuff goes missing between the two. In this case you should be fine.
 
Quick ? while im experimenting with another use of ADE to build a harbor. How does one part water to fill in with land?
