• 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.

FSX How to add autogen houses to FSX/UTX?

I am new to scenery design, just getting up to speed with ADE.

In one small area near an ADE-improved airport (CSU3 Saint-Hyacinthe), UTX has inserted roads with no autogen buildings (there are a couple of trees, but no houses). In reality, this is a housing development near Sainte-Madeleine, with lots of small bungalows. It's probable that there were no buildings there when FSX and UTX were released 'way back in 2006.

Is there any way I can correct the autogen to add houses to this small area?

If so, what would be the best approach for a newbie? I suppose I could use ADE to add individual houses, but is there a smarter way? Is the Annotator the best tool? SBuilderX?

Your ideas would be appreciated.

it's said you have to have a photoreal background to work with autogen annotator, so only could be with individual buildings and object placement tool, or get some kind of photoreal texture for the zone. you can eliminat this afterwards.

Thank you, Bernardo and Jim, for those suggestions.

For now, I am having fun learning how to use Instant Scenery 2 to populate that small area with all sorts of objects!

I believe Instant Scenery 2 FSX BGLs will work just fine in P3d... Place items in FSX and move the BGLs to P3d.
