This means a textured, FSX MDL-format 'flat' 3D model was most likely used for the ground adjacent to KDFW. It is likely that the airport marking in question is a FSX Ground Polygon (aka "G-Poly aka "GP" made with SCASM / ASM).īased on information on the product page and certain product support forum threads, it is likely that KDFW was the first airport at which FSDreamTeam introduced FSX MDL-based G-Polys which are placed at specific elevations relative to a supplied local KDFW terrain mesh with the developers python-based "Couatl" 'Addon Manager' scenery object display controller, to minimize flickering in all views except Top-Down when all scenery package display requirements are configured in FSX according to the developers criteria. I've check each year and none of them show a C32 at this location. As you can see, it's C39, I can go back as far as 2007, and there's one photo that shows C39 in 2001. Below is the current satellite image of parking gate at Dallas Fort Worth International.
Fsx airport scenery packages how to#
I know how to edit the parking gate in ADE, but I'm kind of puzzled as to how I make the changes to the ground polys gate number that's written on tarmac. The FSDT KDFW airport ground polys for the parking spots are not correct. agn files were, but I was told they're autogen files, and these files were located in the Texture folder of that airport scenery. They're from the fsdreamteam KDFW airport scenery. When you said I should not edit default FS files, I assume you're referring to the FSX default files. No, I don't plan to distribute my scenery. So, could someone explain how to edit this? I won't make any changes in the ADE until I can make the changes in the textures. Of course, I would have to find the file.īut I'm not sure how to edit and make those changes in the textures. I can edit the gate number in ADE to C39 but the problem is that C32 will still be written on the pavement until I make those changes in the Texture folder. Going back to the year when FSDT released this product, there was never a C32 at the location of C39 and I don't understand why this was implemented. I parked at gate C32, which should be gate C39. I was planning to make these changes and come to realize that the gate locations are also written on the pavement, or the tarmac, and these are texture files which also have to be edited. I check the airport file in ADE and sure enough, there is no C33. I knew then that this airport had to be outdated. But there was no gate C33 in the list of selections in GSX. I was doing a real world flight from KATL to KDFW and when I arrived, I ran the GSX program to select my gate number, C33, so that ground crew would be ready when I arrive at the gate. This airport scenery is the Dallas Fort Worth International airport scenery by fsdreamteam. I have a question regarding making changes to textures of airport sceneries that are out of date. Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.Īny other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.īy 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.Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain 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 airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum.Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft 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 making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum.Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions: But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this.
