• 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.

FS2004 Tree shows at different location

Using Airport Design Editor, I have redone a number of my local airports to better define their details. I have a problem on one, where a tree is right in the middle of one of the runways. I have moved the cross-hairs using slew to get the lat/long of the tree. I then went back to my ADE for that airport and not only is there no tree on the runway editor. I originally thought that the tree was at another location, however I had the location set on ADE for decimal instead of long/lat. The tree on FS2004, shows exactly at the same location as that spot on the runway on ADE, however on ADE, there is no tree object there?

I have all of my edited airport bgl's in a single folder, which I have as the top priority under settings, which I added to the scenery.cfg file.

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to track down, errant objects that appear in FS2004?

Sounds like the tree is autogen. Try using a small exclusion rectangle centered on the location of the tree set to exclude all. This can work in FS9 but not in FSX.

Jon has given you the correct answer for autogen on runways, taxiways, aprons, etc. The other way to get rid of it is to create a new airport polygon that includes that area with a program like SBuilder.

If you want to get rid of an autogen object whose center point is not on a runway, etc., another trick is to place a library object there. For example, to get rid of an inappropriately large autogen building at a certain location, I will place a tree library object at the building's center. Voila, the building has been replaced with a tree.
 
Exclusion Worked

Jon definitely provided the right answer. Added an exclusion rectangle on the spot and the tree disappeared. Also tried a polygon, but that did not work. Thanks for your help, learned something new.
