• 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 am experimenting around with several different design things in FSX...

#1 Solentiname Islands, made coastlines more accurate a la FS_KML. Compare it to stock scenery. For those interested, I did NOT use PolygonHole:

#2 MNMG. Managua Intl. Added jetways, seasons to correct desert texture, more parking, relocated terminal based on real-world location, etc., and of course, some Copa Airlines AI coded to exact real-world schedules. In the distance, you might be able to see the La Costena Cessna Caravan AI, and Atlantic Airlines Let-410's. I made true-to-life schedules for them all...
Please pardon the default TaxiwaySigns, for which my exclusion xml is failing at present...

#3 I'll finish with a shot of the San Juan River, which is on the Costa Rica/Nicaragua border. Again, redone to real-world dimensions and elevations, and with adjusted waterclass, which looks quite different at 2.x low vs. 1.x high--not sure I like 2.x low:

I don't know what will come of this whole thing, but it has educated me on a bunch of different design techniques with the FSK SDK (vector shapes, xml, bglcomp, waterclass, landclass, jetways, GenericBuildings, taxiwaypaths, and aircraft texture painting.) Hope you enjoyed the screens, and thanks for all the help all of you have given me...
