• 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.

If one were to offer one's airports for sale, would including stock items in the .bgl, such as the default fire trucks and other scenery objects cause copyright infringement issues?
 
Perhaps if you viewed it as two parts, a freeware part, with default stuff, and a payware part, that includes the stuff you made, that might work? you just get the freeware along with the payware?
 
You shouldn't need to include the actual default bgls. Seeing as though every simmer with FSX has them I don't see why you can't just sell the "object coordinates"

Or at least thats what I've always done.
 
Hi,

The default objects should never be included in your BGL files, no matter if you make payware or freeware. Just reference to the GUID of the default object to use it. Since it is default, the user has it, so you don't need to distribute it.
 
Yeah, I understand, thanks.

Southwest, how's the progress coming along with your airport, your website is a bit non-functional. I'm attempting to make Exeter international. Quotes for using the photo scenery is very expensive though!
 
Plymouth's coming on well thanks Shaun, I finished most of the 3D night lighting last night aswell as the proposed 100m runway extension. Still a few things to do - new website coming soon, that one looked crap, but working on this at the moment....

Aerial imagery is very expensive but in the long runway is worth it. My Plymouth uses 50cm which I think is adequate if you use enough tiles to maintain the resolution. 25cm would bet fit a larger airport. How far into progress are you with Exeter?

Sounds cool, I look forward to seeing it progress.


Where do you get your aerial photos from?
