• 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.

Help Excluding and Flatteing Polys

Jon,

I am trying to recreate Norton AFB (KSBD). I used ADE to flatten polygons and remove buildings. A developer friend was nice enough to offer to help me place a sign on the airport tower. However, when I sent the airport to him it had multiple problems with excludes and flattening polys that need to be corrected (trees ect).

I am using FSX Acceleration plus FS Global Ultimate Americas and MegaScenery Southern California. Is there a way I can “see” what he is seeing to correct the issues? I have attached the file for you review.

Jim

Your ADE file contains neither terrain excludes nor an airport background polygon.

Thank you for replying George.

Did you look at the airpot in FSX? Did you see any trees or other objects in the tamac? Any idea why I dont have things growing out of the tarmac on my end?

More importantly any thoughts on how to correct it?

The default airport background doesn't cover the area of your apron so autogen will appear:



This is what I see:



You need to exclude the default flatten and create a new one which covers your apron.
