I am a 'first-time' user of WED! I looked up my airport. It has a designer, it looks like, and, since we're in 250r3 (3, I think) they may be waiting for the final release candidate. What excites me here, is, I really feel like these are public airports--just like in real-life! I can still use the airport (in Las Cruces, NM, KLRU) all I want. When I get better and WED gets more libraries perhaps I'll do a custom airport! Thanks so much for these! It's a life-saver. I'm taking notes this go-around. BTW: right now, I'd like to finish my 'first' one and get proficient at using the Gateway.
Great Video, thanks. Last week, I was a little frustrated, because after viewing the first 5 videos, the day after everything was gone. Now I understand that you are updating the videos to the latest updates of WED and X-Plane. Thanks a lot. Looking forward for the next 19 videos !!!
Great video. New WED 2.0 comes with Slippy Map view to pull ESRI Imagery for tracing purpose which is 100% legal per license. The images are good enough to cover majority of the use cases. Therefore last part this video talking about Google/Bing/wedomaker is good for 'information purposes' but might cause some unnecessary confusion with new comer. Looking forward to next video.
Ahh, it comes with its own map now?? Just kidding ;-)) I will obviously touch upon that IN DEPTH in the next videos, however when it comes to "installing the tools" I felt that a mention was in order.
Incredible!!! If possible, include instructions on how to improve and create additional content for buildings and scenarios near the airports to enhance the visual flight experience. Thank you very much...
Unfortunately the scope of building airports for the Scenery Gateway lies "within the airport perimenter fence". Buildings in the vicinity are only allowed were they are an integral part of the airport experience, i.e. a landmark hotel really close or such. But certainly no buildings in the next city or so... Laminar is (slowly) adding their own landmarks for that.
AWESOME job Jan ! Thank you so much , i already followed your older series , but i will again follow you're new series !!! 11:16 .... Yes , you really did do a lot , but Mr. Wedbot still kicks your ass ;-)
The only thing I would say is don't discuss content that Laminar is not going to reject. Only direct and show content that we can actually utilize for building/developing airports!!! Otherwise great stuff!
Daammmmn 472 Airports! I am ganna be honest with you man. I am only here to learn how to build my home airport OEJN. The third most important airport in Meddle East. I saw the 472 & I was like “ and he didn’t check OEJN yet!”. Is it possible you make this one! Just google Jeddah airport and see the pics. Tell me if u don’t get excited to make such a an amazing design. SVAE ME THE Trouble
Jan, thanks for producing this series! I found it after the XP Dev team dropped your name in the recent live Q&A. The one thing I'm looking to do, which isn't included in this series, is modifying topography at and around an airport. I'm very familiar with KCLT and it feels like a completely different experience in the sim when the airport is portrayed as flat. Could you let me know if it's possible, or might be a WED feature in the future? Thanks!
Hi Jan .. I am trying to build some airports here in Australia and generally having a ball. I am stuck with what seems an overlay that stays above the ortho scenery. Its wrong and looks terrible. Can you tell me how to remove it so the ortho is visable only. Its YGAW if your interested. I flew here for 5 years and its changed a lot. We now have a 4 lane highway which has shortened both runways. Any assistance welcome. Thanks
I generally don´t give specific advice there on youtube - please bring your question over to the Scenery Builder forum at X-Plane.org - many knowledgable and friendly people there to help you! Happy WEDding!
Great job on this! However, It's a couple of years and perhaps needs an update, if there's any crucial changes. Anyway, since I'm a free spirit I'm not planning to do anything for the Gateway and, hence I'd like to know how the editing differs from this if you simply decide to create an airport anywhere in the world instead of importing (an empty) one.
What can I forget and what is new for XP12? Is that worth a video? Just starting out with XP scenery. I only did some MSFS sceneries a year ago, it is a struggle but fun :D
Gibt es irgendeine Möglichkeit die Sichten zu ändern? Also nicht immer nur von direkt oben auf die Scenery zu schaun, sondern mit einem Winkel auch von der Seite in WED??
Jan, thanks for this. I have a question. You say that Laminar will not allow 3rd party libraries to be used in Wed sceneries. When I pick a downloadable scenery from X-Plane.org, almost always the author attaches a list of required libraries! I am confused.
Read your reply yourself and the confusion shall lift! Here is my hint: Laminar Research has NOTHING to do with X-Plane.org. ;-) In other words - the airports included in X-Plane (by LR) do not allow this, but other scenery (that the user can download/buy) will do so.
How do you get rid of airports that are in xplane but no longer exist. Example KCCU Travis AFB’s “aero club” is still in xp but has been gone for 15 years. Another is a field Se of Ksmf just East of freeway. Is housing now. Problem at night when looking for ground reference.
Jan Vogel I reserved Travis and gave nade the changes to upload. Since David Grant is tight gect Rorbuer they use it as a helipad, I will upload to gateway Todsünde or tomorrow with the changes. How do you file to airport removed... guess I dhoukd research that
While exporting I get this warning: Metadata key 'GUI Label' does not exist, but is needed by the XP 11.35 GUI. ...I'm not an expert so unable to understand how to fix this please help
I'm guessing as it told you how to use Bing Maps and Google maps via Wed-o-maker to give you an image to trace. I've not messed around with WED in a while but I remember specifically using Bing with WED to get satellite images. This would appear to not be allowed anymore.
@@janvogel9719 already started with VABP airport. Following the same guidelines as mentioned. But true Google Earth maps are much more updated and clear to trace. Its sad that they have completely removed the option to do so.
Cool video but "realistic"? Have you ever seen St. Gallen Altenrhein in Xplane 11?? It looks unrealistic on the highest level.. Really frustrating, that's why i'm watching your video to make my own Altenrhein!❤
Hey Jan, can you please help me? I am trying to make a small German Airport..EDXK Leck. Is it possibe you can help me? Please write me back..very nice work
Ich bin nur hier um EDFC zu ändern. Da steht das du in bearbeitet hast. Ich will nicht die ganze Tutorial reihe dafür gucken um festzustellen das ich den erstellten Flugplatz nicht nur für mich updaten kann sondern das meiner höchstwarscheinlich abgelendt wird da meiner besser ist

AWESOME Job Jan, thanks to you that I make my local airport in Tirana
Thanks for starting a new series Jan, I am sure they will be very useful and educational for all of us.
Herzlichen Dank für diese Videos! Ich habe mir gerade das Erste angesehen und freue mich darauf, den Rest zu sehen!
You made my hometown airport!
Glad to see some new videos. Grabbing a cup of tea...
omg Jan I love you. I was panicking when your other tutorial series. This is a godsend! Thankyou.

Jan Vogel how can you add custom landmarks. I have seen scenery packs with no apt reference.
Really cool that you are updating your videos. Great tutorial. Looking forward to the next videos. Amazing stuff.
AMAZING Jan Vogel... thanks you for for helping us learn to use WED editor :)
Thanks for the nice words - more videos to come very soon!

Hi Michael, I just checked and KCLT is not flat in my version of XP12. It is also not possible to modify terrain elevation in WED. Cheers, Jan

well... Where are the old tutorials? Gone with the wind? )
Thanks for you videos !!!

Can this be used to create custom scenery for xp11?
Never be sorry for the best president ever!
Gibt es irgendeine Möglichkeit die Sichten zu ändern? Also nicht immer nur von direkt oben auf die Scenery zu schaun, sondern mit einem Winkel auch von der Seite in WED??
Leider nicht. Viele Grüße!
Thanks so much for the update
Kai tak airport is why I am here. Hence what are the options? Can it still be used snehow off site and how, possibly as a supplementary.
Jan, thanks for this. I have a question. You say that Laminar will not allow 3rd party libraries to be used in Wed sceneries. When I pick a downloadable scenery from X-Plane.org, almost always the author attaches a list of required libraries! I am confused.

my airport is in custom scenery and scenery packs. how do i get it to scenery packs.ini. it says custon packs backup.ini after saving.
Hi Jan,
I would like to take scenery editing to another level and select google maps tiles for a slippy map.
But I have no idea how to do it, do you?
How do you get rid of airports that are in xplane but no longer exist. Example KCCU Travis AFB’s “aero club” is still in xp but has been gone for 15 years. Another is a field Se of Ksmf just East of freeway. Is housing now. Problem at night when looking for ground reference.
You have to file for that airport to get removed on the Scenery Gateway
Jan Vogel I reserved Travis and gave nade the changes to upload. Since David Grant is tight gect Rorbuer they use it as a helipad, I will upload to gateway Todsünde or tomorrow with the changes. How do you file to airport removed... guess I dhoukd research that
Can you make airport mdst in the Dominican Republic please
I saw comdirect in your bookmarks 👀 do you work there by any chance?
Nope
While exporting I get this warning: Metadata key 'GUI Label' does not exist, but is needed by the XP 11.35 GUI. ...I'm not an expert so unable to understand how to fix this please help
Click on Airport, then "add Metadata", then "GUI label". Type 3D or 2D, dependent on your scenery.
@@janvogel9719 thanks a lot will try
@@janvogel9719 when I click add metadata nothing activates...So can't select anything
Hello Sir why you deleted your previous playlist of WED?
I'm guessing as it told you how to use Bing Maps and Google maps via Wed-o-maker to give you an image to trace. I've not messed around with WED in a while but I remember specifically using Bing with WED to get satellite images. This would appear to not be allowed anymore.
The reason is that with the current X-Plane version and WED 2.0 too much has changed - the old videos were not up to date.
@@janvogel9719 I will be looking forward to seeing the new workflow. This may inspire me to try making some airports again.
@@janvogel9719 already started with VABP airport. Following the same guidelines as mentioned. But true Google Earth maps are much more updated and clear to trace. Its sad that they have completely removed the option to do so.
@@MonishJohnson , I totally agree with you. It is a shame that they don´t allow to use their imagery for this in the end user license agreement.
Schön gemacht!
Kann ich auch ein Airfield nur für mich erstellen womit ich keinen Konkurieren würde?
Cool video but "realistic"? Have you ever seen St. Gallen Altenrhein in Xplane 11?? It looks unrealistic on the highest level.. Really frustrating, that's why i'm watching your video to make my own Altenrhein!❤
can we use bing instead of google?

Hi,
Kannst du mal Deutsche Videos machen? Trotzdem weiter so
Dachte es ist auf deutsch schade
