Sorry, I missed that you posted these. I may have a go at full on terminal model. Feel free to take more, they are invaluable.
Someone should take full set for the history files before it gets demolished.

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.

Exporting various things now. Just a slow process as I am experimenting with various methods for groundworks on future projects at same time, then realigning the ADE file with correctly placed taxiways needs a day I can't find at the moment. Looking at week after.
Taste of the completed lining. All edgelining and gone over the parking areas too. I found it oddly relaxing to do. May move onto Van Nuys next.

EMAS. You ask you get. Still got skidmarks from where a corporate jet gave it a try.
Pretty much finished the groundworks now. Just needs Christmas week hols to get it into the sim and align the ade. Had to stop myself where I have got to. You keep seeing stuff to add. That's for next year.

Hi
Default buildings could be ones placed on ADE/Airport files. Assuming you have the scenery registered near the top of your library, then the default airport file with it's default buildings will not be used. Could you have some other airport file on your system? Maybe an Orbx item?
Try simple airport scanner to find duplicates.
https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/simple-airport-scanner-1-70-beta.440300/
If you find a duplicate for KBUR on your system, disable it by renaming to *.off, instead of *.bgl
Also check you do have CVX_KBUR_Bob_Hope.bgl in the scenery folder. It has excludes in it.
If you are stuck, post a Pic and I'll try to figure out which buildings are showing. Need to get things in order so you can benefit from upgraded ground, finished in next few days. I hope.

Well the groundworks are complete. Just want to paly with it myself a bit to check all is well, and twiddle with some building placements, then v1.1 is ready. Before 2019 I hope...

Hi Mole_Man99
Wanted to report a small issue I'm having with your beta version. Having the scenery installed seems to produce an undesirable effect on some of the landclass in the Tujunga and La Crescenta area, which is on the opposite side of the Verdugo Mountains from KBUR. Getting some night textures during the day and vice versa. It's just a handful of tiles at the base of the mountains that runs along the Foothill freeway and Foothill blvd.
This is with Orbx global with NA Landclass and vector, but no SoCal region. Tried clearing shader cache, reinstalling NA landclass, but it remained until I disabled KBUR. Not sure what causes it or if you, or anyone else, can reproduce it.
Everything else is great so far and I'm looking forward to seeing it completed.

I'll try to look for it. Can you post a grid ref of the area so I can slew to it.
EDIT: I see you reinstalled NA landclass already which I just suggested. Time to earn beta tester stripes.
Make a folder inside your KBUR/scenery folder called disable. With p3d closed, or scenery inactive, drag and drop all files into this folder, except
KBUR_ADEP4_MDM.bgl
LC_1619.bgl
Reactivate scenery, and is issue still there?
If not, from within p3d you can deactivate scenery in scenery library menu, add in 3 files at a time, and reactivate, see if you could narrow down which file causes the issue for me to look at.

It's N 34° 12.75' W 118° 14.90'
Tried loading in with only those two bgl files active and the issue remains.
I then turned off anything Orbx in that area, essentially loading in with default P3D landclass and terrain, and the problem is not present. So it looks like the conflict is likely just with Orbx's files.
Here's a shot of the area with everything active.
A broader shot facing 300° with KBUR on the left edge and Tujunga area to the right.
Same area with all Orbx scenery disabled.

This is what Beta testing is for. The file LC_1619.bgl is not needed and may be causing the issue. You can delete it and see if it helps.
It contains landclass info. I then changed may mind, back in June, and went for photo scenery in the Hansen Dam park area, but then left the old LC file behind. If user does not have Orbx NA landclass, I guess we see no issue.
If that does work, could you just try the two files here. Place them into the kbur scenery folder. They will put default grass and a rectangle city all down that valley. I am interested to see if it can work over Orbx. I see on your pictures, the Orbx lc is not great. You have open fields around the airport, when it is in a densely populated area. That is it's character.
Delete the two files after testing.
You should see something like this. Note how even on this default setup, P3D pokes different landclass through the grass and rectangle city, sometimes dependent on slope. With Orbx additional lc categories, I think it gets confused. May be worth uninstalling and reinstalling NA landclass, if you only reinstalled it over old instalation.

Help, I can't stop adding stuff. V1.1 will be sealed off tonight or tomorrow, or it will never be ready. Just finishing off some of the approach areas. Was going to add custom buildings, but that will delay release, so generics and autogen will sit there while I model onwards.

How do I get this scenery. Looks nice.

There will be a link at the top of the post to a download on Saturday. V1.1 is finished now. Just wanted to test a bit more and ran out of time to upload.
V1.2 is in development...

Did disabling the LC file work? There are landclass polygons also in the *CVX file that may be causing you trouble. I may need to do an orbx compatible file with no lc poly in them. You need the cvx file as it has exludes and flattens in it.

V1.1 is ready and link at the top of the post is active.
Enjoy, and let me know any issues, or things you like to see in airports missing from this. Considering where to go next with it.
Things to see
Aerial imagery with accurate building placement on all 4 approaches. Blended to fit with accurate road/rail add-ons. UTX and Vector.
Some enhancements to on airport structures, and all taxi lining and edging custom made
EMAS, for all you Southwest pilots...
Tweaked Dynamic Lighting
Improvements to come will include enhancing the main terminal. Very simple model and the doors don't line up with markings on the ground now.
Also may have a go at bespoke lighting. The default lighting arrangement on this cross over runway means edge lights are visible in the middle of each runway at cross-over point. Also the taxi edge lights don't appear exactly where you would want them.
For now, AI planes do not land at correct location on rwy 15. The default threshold markings can not be suppressed, so the displaced threshold has been removed. Searching for a solution/workaround.
