How do I create a flat area for my airfield in FilghtSi...

[Guest prozkaki]

I've just taken my first steps in creating some scenery by creating an airfield based on an abandoned WWII airfield near to where I live. I've installed it into FlightSim X, and maybe for the first time many years I've landed an aircraft there. But, I do have one problem, part of the runway is covered by terrain as the site isn't quite flat. I think it might need to update the mesh, if so, can someone point me in the direction of a very simple way of doing this. All I want to do is flatten the terrain in one small area. Nothing more complicated than a small polygon at a fixed altitude. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anton.

Hi Anton,You indeed need to make a flatten polygon for that. The shp2vec tool from the SDK can do that for you, but it is not really easy to use.So I would advice you to try SBuilderX or FsX KML. Both of these tools give you a GUI to make such polygons.

Hello Anton,Please see Terrain Design for Flight Simulator Xavailable in the Avsim library:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxsd&DLID=100997Best regards.Luis

If you're using one of the airport editors for FSX you could make a small apron area, texture it as UNKNOWN, set the height and slide it underneath the runway. Note if there is any autogen poking through this won't get rid of it.

Thanks, FsX KML was just perfect - I now have a flat airfield. - Anton.

This is a task I try to address in a tutorial as well:http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=105771scott s..
