• 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.

I need to fix this

Hey everyone.

I have been working around this problem, and avoiding it quite frequently, so I have finally decided to fix it.

I've been building a few taxiways in Blender. Then converting them to a .dae file. After that I import it into ModelConverterX and apply all the textures and exporting them through the ground polygon wizard. After that I open FSX, and I can see the default airport. Since I wanted to start from scratch, I tried to remove the default airport by opening up AirportDesignEditor. Then opening up the stock airport, and deleting everything on it. But when I go back into FSX and try to taxi on my new taxiways, I find out that it isn't registering as a surface, meaning it I'm just taxing on ground. The evidence that this is true is because its really bumpy when I taxi, and there's dust and dirt flying around my wheels. I think I need a way to tell FSX that my taxiway is a hard surface and not the ground. To avoid this problem I have tried going into to ADE and making the taxiway, and placing it in fsx under the one I made in Blender. This sort of works, but it's hard to make them the same size. I feel that this is not the way others make ground polygons for their scenery.

Any help would be appreciated:)

Place apron paths under your ground polygon taxiways. This will harden the surface and stop the dust and dirt around the wheels.
