• 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.

Taxiways!

Set the image complexity to Extremely Dense in FSX and see if they appear.
 
Is this a airport that has no signs and you are trying to add them?

Taxiway signs do not have an adjustable scenery complexity XML tag. By default FSX dispays the signs when the scenery slider is set to Normal.
 
I could try that but when I set FSX to normal scenery loads of houses appear at my airport?

Is there A way i can get rid of these?

Create a terrain polygon of type airport background that covers the area of your airport that you want to clear. Set the Tag to Flatten Mask Class Map ExcludeAutogen The altitude should be set to the airport reference altitude for you by ADE. Click OK and compile. You will get an extra BGL File that contains the terrain polygon and this should remove the unwanted stuff

Terrain Polygons are accessed from the ADE main toolbar - the buton with the green polygon on it ;)
 
Wow that is amazing.

Can the flatten tool flatten stuff then? Bit silly quesiton like.

and yay it has got rid of the houses over my aiport.

Thanks.
 
Of course - that is what it is for. It can flatten the area for the airport (since FSX airports must be flat) and exclude stuff. You can also create land class and water as well as vector roads. The v1.35 release notes give a bit of information about it. ADE provides basic support for terrain work at and around airports. For major re-engineering tools like SBuilderX or FSX KML are more appropriate :)
 
Another problem I just did what you said and it worked a treat but there is still a pylon(electrical wire) in the middle of my runway?

You need to use a terrain exclusion that removes utilities to get rid of that - Draw a terrain poly around the area, select Typs - Exclude Specific and Tag - Utility1 or utility2 and see if it goes with one of those
