• 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.

Where can I get SAT images to replace the ground textures around the airfield.

Also are there some good tutorials on how to download and process the image into ADE and then to P3dv4.

I am new to ADE and scenery diesign with LM products. I am wanting to redo the local international airport near my home.

Thanks

Randy, depending on the part of the world you want to work on, the USGS will let you download imagery for many areas, mostly in the US. There are a few tutorials here and elsewhere as to how it works.
Also, If what you want to do is replace the ground textures for your own use, I would try SbuilderX, it lets you create photo imagery from a few sources.

You can load the image into ADE but only as reference, i.e., so you can draw over it.....but it will not generate ground polys from it.

I'm not seeing why you would need to buy FSX for SBuilder to work on P3Dv4. Sbuilder already includes the necessary image rendering tools to create a v4 compatible ground poly.
