• 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.

Aircraft Carrier problem?

Does anyone know how to make an Ocean Flatten file with ADE?

Hi,

In general the sea should be flat already, so you should not need a flatten. Do you see elevation changes in the sea?
 
Hiya Bob,

Yes I do. It is very simple:
Build your ADE airport at the level of the deck of the carrier.
Make a new ADE airport called e.g. OF65 (in case of the Nimitz for instance) at sea level that consists of only a taxipath link at the same spot as the carrier and wide enough the cover the deck surface of the carrier.
Put the ocean flatten file at the top of your scenery library and activate it.

Cheers,

Roby
 
Roby,

The ideal way to do this is by using a CVX file, thereby not needing a fake airport.
I've never found a simple way of doing this however.
 
I found this article:

As long as there have been landable aircraft carriers in FlightSim, there's been a problem that occurs occasionally where the planes on the carrier appear to sink through the deck and come to rest at sea level, inside the ship.

I looked at the flatten files in "Carriers 2006". They seem to be done this way.

Righr now I am having problems compiling the main airport file.

What does ADE Fault Finder say? Is the square at the bottom left of your ADE screen red or green?
