• 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 need improve the terrain in the fsx sceneries, I wanna get rid off FsxKml definitively,so Sbuilder would be a good tool, in regard to redesigning coastline, excludes, landclass, etc?, is problematic for such tasks?, well, only a general point o view, that's all, a basic task as remodeling terrain in fsx no can be relied on FsxKml, that's all.

I never used FSXKML, but I can say SBuilderX is very usefull, only need is to exclude the terrain items and add the new items
 
I've attempting to change coastline and terrain, etc. but I see fsxkml as a little "erratic", I can get good outcomes, well, I had promised not to experiment with more tools, but I must change of tool, because I'm stuck. will be good for make island, I have to correct a lot of them.
 
Hi
I have changed from FSXKML to SBuilderX last year. I do make large areas, so I do draw coastline and Islands in Google Earth. And before I can import the files, I use another program to export my lines to Shapefile, which SBuilderX can read.
You can do much more with SBuilderX than FSXKML, so I am a big fan of SBuilderX.
 
Thanks Kalak, that is what I want to hear, I'm confussed with the tools, the island is something I can't achieve, and some tools seem to me a little erratic. It's seem to me that there isn't a clear procedure for this things yet.
 
Don't know about SBuilderX but with FSX KML if you want to redesign the coastline it becomes a big pain. First you have to start with an exclude which will literally blow up a big QMID area that will show as land (a large square). Then you have to redraw the coastline, add the landclass, add the shoreline classes (sand) and then if you want also add the waves. It is very tiresome, I don't know if that is much simpler with the other tool.
 
yes, amigo, I have got coast lines redesigned, and was difficult to get the hang of it, but I have had little sucess taking out and replacing water but with de islands has been more problematic, as you can see it's is a issue that has become a obsesion for me, I have followed every tutorial step by step with no luck, :(, anyway I left this issue aside so I'm now very happy :rolleyes:
