• 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.

Scenery with my new plane; thinking...

Hey all,

In the past, I used to do alot of scenery with plane projects. Im wondering about doing some with this new plane I am doing, some basic buildings and hangers for a small cluster of Alaskan dirt strips in the mountains.

The plane is the classic Piper Pacer. The scenery would come with it and mainly just be some buildings for the dirt strips which are barren to begin with.


Thinking also of doing old-version presaved flights, (not missions). I wish Missions werent hard to create... arrgh...

That sounds like a good plan. Nothing as invovled as a large airport but just enough to improve some "local" strips.
 
Missions aren't that hard to create, once you get the hang of it. There are also a couple alternatives to the SDK's Object Placement Tool that almost makes building missions as easy as going through a setup wizard. Jim Keir and Flight1 have tools, if I recall correctly.

Like the idea Bill. For those dirt strips I would suggest making them not flat, but nice challenging bumps & ruts.

I wonder if its possible to paint down some grass for making the runway visible from the sky?

Thanks OllyAU for the heads up on those. The first one I couldnt do as they require royalties from payware sales. Looks brilliant though. I hear its the best.

yup, useing the sat photo background method, just paint over the sat photo with your own textures etc etc to great your own airfield and bingo :)
 
I almost wonder if I should create some new, custom airfields.

Fictional airfields might be better in that one isnt re-creating a real one, 'and' if someone does the real ones, the fictionals remain the same and will not overwrite actuals that have been redone.
