• 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.

Surface Areas Tool

Hey there.

Was wondering whether anyone might be able to point me in the direction of a tool that creates rotateable surface areas - ie, a tool that hardens surfaces which can be rotated (and moved and adjusted for size) - for FS2K2. The surface areas in AFW do not rotate and FSSC facility does not create a hardened area.

I tried the FSSC forum on the surface area question, but have not got any reply. Thought you guys might have soime ideas :)

It'd be ideal if the surface hardening would correspond with the bituman taxiways so that you'd hit the rough if you left the taxiway, as you do in real life, rather that having the whole airfield hardened in this manner.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Cheers,
Matthew.
 
Hi Matthew,

Are you looking for a platform (hard area) or for the surface type of the ground?

In the last case you could use the technique used by my Bumpy tool. It sets the SurfaceType for the total area, but also checks if you are inside the polygon needed to enable it or not. That way you can make smooth taxiways, while the grass around can remain bumpy. Is that the kind of thing you are looking for?

Arno, your a legend mate.

Sounds perfect. Just downloading it now. Can't wait to put into action.

Cheers,
Matthew.
