• 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.

Hi,

Yes, if you want to make your own custom runway it is easiest to do so in GMax. What you have to do is make them with the FS2002 gamepack for GMax as that is the only one that allows you to tweak them into proper ground polygons.

Have a look at these two Wiki articles for more background information:

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ground_Polygons_-_Creation_(Gmax)

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ground_Polygons_-_Applying_(Gmax)

If you have specific questions afterwards, feel free to ask them.

Thanks for info. :) Only when I open this websites it says: There is currently no text in this page :(

Once again thanks and I hope to be able show first pictures of my runway soon...

P.S.
If there is some other GMAX tutorial for making poligons for runway it would be great :)
 
if I make a big wide a ground polygon with only 1 object its got blurry when landing at foggy weather.

is there aany way to do this?
 
Can you clarify your problem a bit more? Is the texture more blurry than in other weather?
 
hi arno,
I make a big ground polygon to cover all airport area and texturing with a ground image, its use a makemdl fs2002.

when foggy weather/ rain its got blurry like this

all airport got blur like that... is there a good tutorial to build a ground except makemdl did? like fssc maybe, but fssc cannot use a custom runway texture. :(
 
You mean the aircraft gets blurred and not the polygon you just created?

That is normally caused by overloading of the graphics. Did you convert your textures to DXT, it is advised to all have them as DXT.
 
no I mean I've got blurry on my created polygon like 'blurry on that aircraft' sory bout my english :(
sory I cannot capture a blurry scenery for this time..

yup, I already convert all texture to DXT3, is it need to be convert to mipmap texture too?

is there a technique to make a custom runway like payware do?
 
Yes, mipmaps are also advised. Also, DXT1 is better for most textures that do not use transparency. DXT3 uses more memory.
