MAYDAY! MAYDAY! I am going nuts attempting to make a heliport with a code in the rocky Mountains. I have attempted several times to get it done by following the most recent youtube guide i can find. I go to an do create an airport. Then from the objects menu, I add an airport with a code, apron, hanger, helipad, runway and make it transparent and some windsocks. I follow the directions to the "build" but then all is gone except the hanger and the windsocks. The code I am attempting to use is KBE1. I want a code so that I can Spawn my helicopter on the helipad or fly to it from an airport.

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.

Make sure to press the enter Key on your keyboard everytime you write text (ICAO, name , region, folders etc), the scenery editor sometimes strongly Need its
Also you save your scenery before clicking the build all, right?
At last, if you like don't mind sharing the folder of your project some One could give a Little more help!

Ok I went back and tried it again. i pressed enter after every (ICAO, name , region, folders etc). I have always saved the scenery before the build. Still it is the same thing, when I am finished the only thing there is the Hanger and the windsocks. When I try to look up the airport code in the sim, it is not found. I have attached the files

Can't check in the sim, i did a small change in the dir structure, the sim expects your assets to be in the packagesources folder, yours were in the root folder, while
in the packagesources you have a unused "sceneries" folder (wich was called in the temporary folder, i have deleted that)
just unzip anywhere (not in your old project) and let me know if is is working now

No, still the same hanger and windsocks is all that tis there. Thanks for trying but I am giving up for now. I can still spawn my helicopter there by using save in the sim and I can use litttle nav map for flight plans to it. just wont have my apron or pad.

ok, eventually i'm back for further testing
Hope you didn't gave up, but i think you have missed a basic step in your scenery building process:
After clicking Build All, is perfectly fine that your scenery disappears, but, in your project folder, you will obtain a new folder called Packages, inside that folder there is another one that MUST be copied in your Community folder in order to
get your scenery visible in the sim (in my shots, the hangar is missing because you are not using one of the standard assets but maybe one from another scenrery you have installed)
Keep going my friend, you were in the right way!

Thank you again. Now it works and i can fly from or to it with the code and the hanger is there but is was taken from an airport in my library. Now I just need to get back into the project and change the runway heading, it is off and make a parking spot so that my helicopter will spawn on it. Thanks again.
