• 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.

When you create a Flatten without paying attention to surrounding altitude

LOLOLOL.... Yep.. This happened to me when I tried bringing my jungle airports over to FSX from FS2004 for the Kodiak missions, lololol... Totally different altitudes. One jungle strip was up high in the sky, like 800 feet. Another was down in a hole.

Mowing the grass on the sides of that 'Ancient Aliens' pyramid airport is going to be challenging....

Hahaha i seriously thought about Calvi Airport in Corsica, maybe some of you already experimented it but the slope isn’t really rude, flattening it created the exact same effect in FSX :D

Yikes! That is a real airport... apparently Columbia has at least two similarly 'raised up' airport runways, as the next video up was yet another one. :rotfl:

If you decide to do this airport, you need to mention the first line of the manual that this is the way it is in real life. I have been asked a thousand times that my VTSP airport has a mistake. The ILS is not align with the runway.

***NO! It is not align***

It is 3 degrees offset to the right in the real airport. Not everyone flys in their computer with charts.

You wonder why they actually designed and build it like that, must be quite some work :)

Imagine all of the rock and dirt they had to move! I suppose that the valley was not very level to begin with. That is a runway to you do not want to overrun!

The real world can be funny sometimes. It contains things that we would consider a bug when we would put it in our scenery. Another favorite of my is the photo below I once found. If we would ever put a trees on the road in our scenery everybody would complain it is wrong. But he, it seems it can happen in real life as well :)

That reminds us a little of a song from "Madness" from the 80s: Our Tree(House) in the middle of the road :rotfl:

In Google Earth, it appears they might have leveled a ridgetop to make the airport.

Reminds me of the tricks I had to do years ago in SimCity to make an airport. But you quickly learned that is not an efficient way to move mountains :)

The airport logic in Sim City 2000 was awful. If you didn't assign enough land to the airport, you wouldn't even get a runway.
