• 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.

Scasm Runway Papis...

My lights and Papis for my runway are SCASM coded, to show over the polys, the runway's invisible, yet I need to set an offset threshold in the SCASM to align the papis with the touchdown marking....


BUT! This introduces lines and the threshold markings are written over my ground polys, and I can't seem to make them invisible...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried putting another invisible runway, same as the original, but shorter by the needed amount, with PAPIs, but for some reason they wont display.

If the threshold offset is the same at both sides, this will result in same geolocation of both runways, FS does not like this. You need to move one runway a tiny bit (something like fifth, sixth decimal should suffice)

(also there is the possibility to make GMAX papis)

I had the main side lights with the 1st, full length runway, then another runway, 500m shorter, with the same heading, in the same place, with the papis, which appear at the ends of the runway, but in the right place on the 1st, full size one. But they didn't display. God knows why the papis aren't aligned with a touch down zone. I can't seem to make one. There isn't any threshold offsets now, as they appear over my ground polys.

yeah, i think making papi's is a bit beyond me atm. I might have a look into it cheerz

IIRC there are also several offsets to change PAPI position.

Looking at my sourcefiles, try playing with VasiDistN and VasiDistF params.

Failing that, post your code. We will take a look.

Sir, you are very right. I don't know how this escaped me, staring at a bit of unfamiliar code, I failed to spot it. I'm having a try now.
