• 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.

Hello,

I did use the ground poly wizard of model converter to create my bgl's of may taxiways and runways.

But problem ist, that if I add my runway/taxiway to fsx, that I get the effect of unpaved surface. But my taxiway should be have a surface of asphalt.
Is there any possibility to add this?

Thanks

regards comy
 
Hi Comy,
use ADEX for drawing the taxiways and runways, the ground polys you designed with MCX will lay on top of it so you get the image of the ground poly and the function (asphalt etc.) of the ADEX taxiways/runway.
Simply make the ADEX ways a bit smaller than the ground polys and they cannot be seen.

Hope that helps.

Hi

Thanks for answering. Yes that a possibility, about I have thought too.
But I can't open my ground poly objects in ADE, so I have to do it by try and error, because the taxiways of my airport have other positions than fsx default.
But if it the only possibility, I will do.

Thanks

regards comy
 
You can take a screen shot of your airport and add it as a background image in ADE. Then follow the picture.

Or use the Connect button to see your FS plane in ADE, allow your plane to taxi along the photoscenery taxiways, and create the ADE taxiways as you go.

Hope this helps,
 
Yes, that really help:) I didn't work really much with ADE. But this make it easy.
Thanks
