• 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.

How am I going to create this?

Do these pictures provide a good enough question? This is seriously going to be hard to model, any ideas?

Fences are quite straightforward! If you mean the stuff behind them, then it's not going to be all one object, so you'll use a combination of primitives (especially cylinders) and modified primitives. Looks like the builders are still working on it: perhaps if you ask very nicely they'll give you a tour of the site. Take your safety footwear, high-vis vest and a hard hat together with a notebook, pencil/pen, camera and stay away from gaping holes in the floor.
 
Ahh yes the stuff behind the fences. These photos are a few months old, terminal is actually finished and I'm due to work there when it opens next week, thanks for your help I will give it a crack
 
Lucky you, just tell security what you're up to if you're prowling around taking notes.
 
Hi Jacob, I tried sending you a PM with some GIFs that show how I would do this but apperantly they're tok big or something, because I cannot upload them to either my Photobucket account or directly here (the forum doesn't support GIFs?)
I'll see if google Drive accepts them and PM you later.
 
create a mesh line following the fence's blueprint and extrude it vertically to the fence's height. Then apply a texture with alpha channel.
 
I'll try to expand on Dave. Basically you will treat the fence as a solid object like a wall so you can make a plane the size of the fence. On your texture sheet you will make a grid pattern to represent the chain link. Using the alpha channel set the alpha to create a 100 percent transparency expect for the chain link grid pattern which you will set to 100 percent opacity. If you use Photoshop you will have all the tools you need to do this.
