• 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 delete runway number and arrowheads?

I am using photoscenery for my runway and all markings. I have successfully deleted every marking except for the runway arrowheads, some people call them chevrons. Cannot see where to delete these...

In addition, how do I remove the hold shorts as well?

Also, if I remove these things, will this affect the AI planes? I still want the AI planes to behave normally in airports.

You may need to have short sections of zero-width paths to prevent texture bleed (especially on entrances to runways).

Thanks guys, so far was able to remove everything except these two things, the stop bar and the single arrow.

Perhaps you could use a shorter runway without a blastpad (only in ADE)?

Edit: George was faster and correct.

You might have duplicate afcads or ADEs other name. Remove it once you have one ADE. You need to rename AF2_XXX.bgl changes to bak.

If you have to use displaced thresholds (like I often have to do), the arrow is not removable. So I use a ground poly to hide it.

It is never necessary to use displaced thresholds with photo-scenery and invisible runways. Just remove displaced thresholds, blastpads and other markings.

Position the runway (anywhere) such that AI operate satisfactorily.

If the airport has a displaced threshold in real life how would you make the AI aircraft operate properly without creating a displaced threshold in ADE?

It depends what you mean by "properly". By judicious positioning of the "invisible" runway and apron paths, AI can operate satisfactorily.

In fact in the image shown above, the displaced threshold is so short, it can be removed and AI will operate properly.

If I can buy into this discussion, I too am trying to make the displaced threshold arrows invisible. It would seem that with P3D we can make every element of an airport runway to not show except these threshold arrows. I accept that it would be possible to shorten the runway so you do not need to have a displaced threshold but I prefer to keep the runway length in line with the airport charts so I need to have a displaced threshold. Surly there must be or should be an option to make the threshold arrows "no show".

There is an option in ADE to select 'No Threshold End Arrows" but that seems to be unrelated.

Ideas anyone?
