• 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,

What do you mean with a high level airport? Both GMax and FSDS3 are mainly used to design 3D objects. The code they produce (both use MakeMDL to create the scenery MDL files) is not really suitable to make complete airports.

People that make ground layouts for airports with GMax usually use the Fs2002 gamepack for that, as you can tweak the output of that to display as correct ground polygons.

Otherwise the airport layout is also often made with tools like AFCAD or SceneGenX.

So maybe you can specify a bit more what kind of scenery you want to make?
 
what i mean , make airport with high details like example : Fly Tampa Airports
which programs is best to do this GMAX or FSDS3 . If you have any example Airport tutorial in GMAX or FSDS3 , please send to me because i want make high details airports.


thanks,,,,

A little patient will never hurt.

You say you want to make something like the Fly Tampa scenery, but you still don't answer the questions being asked. Do you want to make detailed 3D objects like that scenery or do you want to make an airport ground layout? To give you a good answer with some useful tips we need to know more than "a detailed scenery".
 
The info needed to "make airports like Flytampa" is all within this forum already. The techniques are in fact the same as used in other addon airports. The only difference that may make certain airports appear more "high level" then others is the artwork within the textures, something you do in a paint program which is not FlightSim related at all.
