• 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.

Dear forum,

i have a few general question about scenery design i don´t find answer for (hmm ok i´m not much good in searching the web :( , but i tried hard).

My idea is, creating a little scenery in tongass fjord. I read lot of various products which i could use (or not) and from freeware to payware grrrr.
E.g. "instant scenery, fs-enhancer rwy12 etc. etc.

First of all ( i´m learning gmax for further porjects) i read that instant scenery and compared products use the standard libarys or add-on libarys. But how can i use some objects from avsim or from our site here and use them in my scenery so that everyone can use it?

I mean (sorry for my very bad using of english) wich progs i need that i can use the freeware objects, place them and build a scenery for everyone. I´m now totally confused about how to start:confused:

In gmax ok i can build my own objects but i found aslo some nice freeware objects that i want use.

Can anyone give me a hint for the starting?
 
Hi Tabbi,

It depends a bit on what kind of objects you have found. If you found for example some older API macros, you will need to use a program that can place those. FSSC is a good example of that.

But I think you will find most "modern" objects in the form of an object library. For example for the Rwy12 tool a lot of object libraries have been released. You can use these libraries with tools like Rwy12 or EZ-Scenery to place them in the scenery (or the Object Placement Tool of FsX if you are using FsX).

Hope that helps a bit,
 
Hi Arno
Sure that helps :)

That it was i thougt by me.
Hm i try the freeware progs first
But if i found a nice place near a but around are trees? So i need a landing strip just a little one for bushflyers, i need AFCAD or FSArchitect? Some programs in this direction?

And i have to write down where to find that addition libaries?

Sorry but because of the amount of various progs out there it´s hard to understand. I´ll try it giggles. Hope i can show next week a first result.

Hallo Tabbi!

Go to the Swiss Gmax und Autogen Forum, which you find within this url:
http://www.stumbles.ch/
There is a Rubrik called Tutorials, where you find a beginners tutorial (in German!) about using Gmax-objects and other objects from libraries in scenery design.

Maybe this is a good way to start
