Just wanted to say this is the best most straightforward video around creating airports I've come across and is the reason I was finally able to start making my own ones... Well done sir
Thanks for this video. There is a bunch of mostly undeveloped land behind my house. Following your video, I added a short strip and ramp behind my house. Called it KWDL, Woodlands International. Lol. Just a strip, ramp, parking spot, and windsock. But it’s cool to takeoff from where I live and fly around. SDK is buggy and it CTDd a few times but I finally got it and there’s a new custom addin in my community folder now!
@@epictetus9766 I agree. WED is far superior. I would love to edit out those STUPID unrealistic, yellow taxiway stanchions, that are freekin everywhere, middle of taxiways, displaced threshold, taxi exits.... Turn off the lights in daytime. Too bright at night. Fix signage/markings. Having to mess with a cumbersome file structure seems dumb. I do enjoy the FS2020 scenery, clouds, weather etc tho. FS2020 airports/signage are pretty bad. XP has them beat in this regard.
Mustang - this was a great tutorial... I followed your steps -and i just created the small airport i fly from in my small plane and it looks great !!! thanks for a great video . I will subscribe your videos to learn more . Just make sure you do all the step-by step stuff... so that i can follow and learn. Great job ! regards from Portugal
Finding it too difficult to follow with the newer version of the SDK. Menus are different, screens are displayed differently. Thanks for the effort though.
awesome video, this was just what i have been looking for. cool your from NS Canada. me too lol Im on Cape Breton Island. Not enough airports here. i am just about finished creating a bush trip for Cape Breton
I'm getting an error "Airport has to be in the area of previously defined airport" but I have set the polygon I've created before to "Airport area"... what am I missing..?
i had the same error.... i believe it was because i was using four letters as a ICAO name for my airport that actually existed somewhere in tyhe world... i just changed the four letters of my airport and it worked,,,
Is there a specific reason why you choose RWY 34 to start with and not RWY 16 ? And about the light selection for the runway, are you sure about the LOW/HIGH lights definition? I think the option is for intensity and not the height, don't you think so.
Great! Hope it works like WED for X-Plane where people can submit for approval or keep locally for themselves. FS2020 is way behind XP airports due to WED community support. FS2020 great scenery, lousy airports. XP lousy scenery, great airports. They will never catch up to XP unless they get free community support. There are just too many airports worldwide. I am instructor and have to have correct airports and signage. Good luck
For someone who hasn't modded in their entire life, this has def helped, but I may need a more in-depth video. I want to create airports as well but also add fancy buildings.
Hey mustang60348 Thank you so much for this tutorial! Also saw your other tutorial, this is the best and most useful project creation tutorial as you explain everything really nice. However in the meantime looks like they changed the developer mode, updated it so in this tutorial at around 1:34 you are adding the package. In the new one, Add package window is completely different and I was actually not sure which option to choose.. and seems like that's one of the most important steps. Can you please explain the package creation only for the new updated sim? The new one has buttons: Airport, Visual effect, Custom.. In my case I chose option: Airport and followed the offered options and looks like everything works now. Also, in your second tutorial, Asset creation is now different.. it was confusing (with the new dev mode interface, but I made it work). I guess it would be nice for all the community to update your tutorials. I will definitely recommend them to my friends. Thank you so much! (subscribed and liked your video)
Hi! How to know if a folder is an Airport? Type SCENERY fits both airports and cities. I need for my own addon catalogizer but not sure how properly distinguish airports/buildings and aircraft/liveries
I swear it's different now. There's no "outpit dir" box at the start and once I input the title etc. it gives me a popup saying "select package type" with Airport, Visual Effect and Custom as the options where you have to put in package name title and creator. Can't get past that point.
+1mustang60348 - Excellent tutorial, thanks! I've been pulling my [virtual] hair out trying to use Exclusion polygons/rectangles to suppress trees/forests. Your tip of ignoring Exclusion options and clicking on Vegetation and setting top slider all the way to the left to 0.0 did the trick. Thanks so much for that tip! 😁👍👍
It took me a couple of tries because it was my first venture.. but I was successful in creating Banff airstrip CYAB, which you may like If you would like the package file I can send it to you.
You said "press E" to change to edit, but not what to press for moving. I could not find out how to do this. So, after restarting to get into move mode, I compiled the airport and transferred the package over to the community folder. It looks just right as the other airport I have there. But it does not appear, nor is the runway in the scenery. After having created hundreds of airport for FSX and X-Plane I have to give up for now. No nerves left at this time.
Would you please explain why you choose the simplescenery SDK sample rather than the simpleairport sample to create what is a after all a simple airport? They are different, so which should we use to create a detailed airport and why? Thanks.
Great tutorial, was wondering if you could possibly try and update this. The newest SDK update seems to have made the older folder tutorial obsolete. Now the older airports no longer seem to work. Also noticed that the latest update to the SDK seems to tank the performance of my computer and when clicking the options of the menu structure the first click goes through the box into the sim almost always placing or selecting an object. Not sure if you have tried the newest SDK yet.
Great Video thanks. On following it, I placed an airport on a local park near my house, which worked great, but when I fly, it is about 50ft below ground level, any ideas what I did wrong?
I cant for the life of me figure this out... Im not even Seeing the same files, folders, or SDK options as you in sim... Do you have an Updated video with the most current SDK?
Great video! 😀 Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to make it 👍 Question: Is an ICAO code a *requirement* for a new airfield (even if fake), or can this be left blank? 🤞 If it is does it have to be 4 characters in length?
Quick question. What do the other simmer see when they fly over and your airplane is "in the forrest"? I mean, you built your own airport which is seen only on your MSFS and not by the other players... Do other players see your airplane in the bushes?
For those of us that use WED in X-Plane, this is extremely cumbersome. Realistically, most people just want to edit out the annoying/incorrect stuff at the airports that already exist and they frequent, then use them locally. I would love to get rid of the lame. unrealistic, yellow taxiway stanchions that are misplaced everywhere. PFL means PAPI lights 4 on left not right! LOL Fix signage. Dim the lights. Turn them off in the daytime. Get rid of push back dudes at uncontrolled airports etc etc FS2020 did a great job on scenery, but 70% of USA airports are incorrect. X-Plane Airports are far more correct, this is because of free community support. Real world pilot and instructor. Not a fanboy of either sim. Competition is good.
I need help, when I click "save scenery" it just flashes green (at the part where you save the airport properties) I can't choose a different folder/save location...
anyone know if i can put an A320neo into a bush trip. its not really a bush trip im trying to make but more of a canadian city tour. Cross Canada trip. Not sure if i have the A30neo naming correct or not. in game it says i need to download content.
Hello! thank you for doing this. QUESTION! everything has worked out as far as loading the airport. my problem is the runway of the airport has pulled ground surface up, pulling water as well so it looks bizzare and is not functional. Is there a way to put an airport runway in which just lays on top of the generated terrain? THANK YOU!
if i create a missing airport, then asobo adds it, what happens? will one override the other or will they do some sort of strange merger? is it difficult to delete what you add?
AFAIK what is in the community folder overrides anything already in the sim IF you have used exclusion polygons and squares properly. No to delete what you add just remove the package from the community folder.
I can't make it work with new airport for some reason. It works fine with simple scenery like buildings or towers but when I try with an airport following the exact instructions of the video, It refuses to work. Any Idea ?
@@mustang60348 The airport does'nt appear on the globe or in flight. I followed your instructions, everything seems fine, the compile report had no errors, I have copied the compiled folder from the packages folder to the community folder as you said. Thank you for your help.
@@Sophal27 I would have to see exactly what you did, there could be a number of things, for example, you might have not used exclusion polygons, or you might have saved the polygons over the scenery.
@@mustang60348 I think I did as you said, I saved the polygon and the airport with different names, I checked there were 2 xml in the scene folder. I will try again, maybe I did something wrong.
Can you show how to flatten buildings with polygons and add new surface to it, because whenever i try to do that, new surface is transparent, i can still see everything that was there before.
Does it get rid of the building, the surface issue is kinda funky for me right now too. I think it might have something to do with your view distance. I will do some research and get back to you.
mustang60348 it just flattens buildings and everything inside polygon, but you can’t replace the surface with that method, whatever you put on it, it’s still visible through it, just in 2d.
mustang60348 i saw a video somewhere where they changed the surface by drawing aprons all over the place, and changing material, but i didn’t try that method yet.
@@mustang60348 Thank you for your help, I've come back to this video many times for help. I've created my first Airport and built the package, now when I go back and load in the editor to change some things, then hit save scenery, the file save is grayed out, and I can't update my mod. What am I missing, after I hit build I can never edit again?
@@therealpoody7485 You say , "Change some things", well, it depends on what you are changing in order to be able to 'save scenery'. Are you adding objects etc, then you can save scenery, otherwise just REBUILD scenery to save your changes.
To the best of my knowledge, you can't edit current scenery. What you could do though, is to rebuild that house or object and place it in the scenery and use a polygon or rectangle to get rid of the old one.
@@mustang60348 the question is how to rebuild this exact house.? I've checked all houses at "object" on scenery editor but the defaults houses on the sceneries aren't listed. So if you know the best way to rebuild these existing houses. Thank you for your answers, Peace.
@@ramacharly9516 You have to build a custom object in a program like Blender or 3ds Max and export it as a .gitf file that you can import in the sim. I did a full tutorial on how to do that.
Sorry ASOBO, but you need to rethink this whole cumbersome process. FS2020 airports are pretty bad, great scenery tho. I suggest copying the whole community support system that X-Plane uses. I will never tell. Sssshhhh FS2020 will never get airports right without community support. There are just way too many worldwide. Also, Trying to get an airport right just by using Bing ortho images and maps creates way too many errors.
@@mehmettakbas9193 Did you download and install the SDK from the developer menu inside MSFS. If so, it should have created a directory on your C drive, called MSFS SDK.
@@mehmettakbas9193 Under HELP in Dev menu (Make sure you have a browser window open before this) click download SDK, run the file that is downloaded and it should create the directory I mentioned above.
WED for X-palne is so much easier! Microsoft need to do better. I have created several approved Airports for X-plane and this is way more complicated. Why so many files being saved is all over the place.
Wow - X-Plane's World Editor is MILES better than this nonsense way of having to create airports. I'd have half of the airport complete in the same time as this video. No criticism on the video - just the SDK.
insane? I've used WED for years and never understood why was not 3D, such a pain in the *** without previews ... and this few month old devkit is "insane"? yes! insanely good!! you can edit right into the scenery, you can also edit terrain to adjust it where necessary, without the hassle to learn a long and hard process involging 3 different software to model a couple of bumps... this is a great SDK, improving month after month. c'mon, be serious.
Ok so you begin a video in a windows/view I dont know how to get to .... mmmhhh meh!!! :( HOW TO GET THAT VIEW AT 0:01 but great work anyway the rest will be usefull how do you spawn that inspector windows!? 1:40 You jumped overto many easy not obvious steps Edit: im good for now thanks anyway ill defenetly put a like, without this vid i would be lost xD
That view is just the view you get to when you load a project into the sim and load an asset group, that's' just how I started, no big deal. You can get there manually by holding down left ALT key and click and hold the left mouse button to look straight down. The inspector window is spawned by clicking view in the project window and selecting inspector.
Those houses south of the threshold just formed a protest committee to protest your airport. 5 stars for realism!
😅

You do these tutorials very professionally. Keep up the good work.
Great tutorial but I hate the SDK and I find it unecessarily complicated.
Thank you for putting this together. A simple yet thorough explanation of getting started creating custom airports. Keep up the good work!
A quick note: The lights setting of Low-High is for intensity on the lights, NOT the physical size. OOPS, good catch H Buberci.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us :) I have really struggled a lot after using WED for the last 5 years.

I've used WED for years and never understood why was not 3D, such a pain in the *** without previews ... and this few month old devkit is "insane"? yes! insanely good!! you can edit right into the scenery, you can also edit terrain to adjust it where necessary, without the hassle to learn a long and hard process involging 3 different software to model a couple of bumps... this is a great SDK, improving month after month. c'mon, be serious.
@@LipsumLazyGamer fair arguments. Maybe I need to be more patient with it and have another go. I just didn’t find it at all intuitive compared to WED.
Back to the drawing board the ADE is rubbish!
Ok so you begin a video in a windows/view
I dont know how to get to .... mmmhhh meh!!! :(
HOW TO GET THAT VIEW AT 0:01
but great work anyway the rest will be usefull
how do you spawn that inspector windows!? 1:40
You jumped overto many easy not obvious steps
Edit: im good for now thanks anyway ill defenetly put a like, without this vid i would be lost xD
That view is just the view you get to when you load a project into the sim and load an asset group, that's' just how I started, no big deal. You can get there manually by holding down left ALT key and click and hold the left mouse button to look straight down. The inspector window is spawned by clicking view in the project window and selecting inspector.
