      You are welcome. I try to take into account what it is like for new folks. I particularly worry about the CC and how my phraseology works for those that speak different languages. I am happy you found the video helpful. By the way, you can make complex scenery. It is a continuation of what you have already learned. I cover all of the basics that I think people need and every now and then, people will ask about something new. But, you can do it. Use your imagination and take off. There is nothing to fear because you can't mess up. Everything you do is in that scenery folder and with a simple delete, all goes back to normal. Let me know what your interests are and I will point you to a tutorial. Thanks for watching.

      There is an update to this video. After SU-12, I had to make a new video for the SDK changes. ua-cam.com/video/MXPL0n0kA_4/v-deo.html
      I am perplexed you had to make three thumbnails, though. It only takes one thumbnail. Could you explain what you made the additional thumbnails for? One is for the marketplace section. I permanently delete the marketplace information, so there is no need for a thumbnail. Here are the latest videos I was working on. One is for an existing airport overwrite, and the other is for a new fictional airport. Good luck.

      And after some testing with subsequent versions of the same helipad in MSFS: I started (3rd time or so) after unchecking the helipad and restating MSFS, a new project and tried to add an airport in scenery editor. 'Airport' stayed red, even after adding the ICAO and naming the airport. The error when hovering over the red Airport in scenery manager was: “The airport should be in the same zone as the airport declared previously”. The solution I found in the MSFS forum was to delete physically the previous scenery files.
      Hope you can make something of all this. I am on the most recent MSFS and SDK and SampleScenery as presented by you in your UA-cams.
      Will tomorrow look in the presented videos above.

      Thank you Antonio. I have seen too many comments where folks seem afraid to try. I am trying to show that it can be done. Many doing it now had to start at the beginning. Sure, some came from other sim programs but some liKe me didn’t. I used to build primitive scenery back in the early 90s on the first iteration of FS but life took me to other interest. In essence; MSFS is when I returned. And from the start of MSFS for me, I was determined to learn. I hope to share the little I know with others. Good luck my friend.

      Hello, Thomas. I have never owned a console, so I must learn how it works before answering. As for the scenery, I can tell you that anything you build is only in your world. If you want friends to enjoy your work, you can share the package, and your friends can add the scenery package to their community folder.

    In some photogrammetry cities, the water can be seen on top of a bridge from certain angles (not talking about the solid structure underneath). Example, fly east to the river out of Saskatoon (CYXE) and view the road bridges. Is there any way to remove a photogrammetry bridge to replace it with a non-photogrammetry model? If so, would this restore water levels where a photogrammetry bridge had been?

    Is there a way to copy the buildings on the ground an re-use them elsewhere? I seem to not find generic houses.

    • @patriotsix5880
      @patriotsix5880  11 місяців тому

      There are generic houses and buildings in the standard Asobo library. You can also find various scenery objects in flightsim.to that can be added to your library. Every item used in the sim is available in the library. Just so you know, the sim uses AI to add generic buildings. The AI attempts to fill the space it sees on the base map with a building. As you are building scenery and the editors are open, type "house" or "building" in the objects window, and the options can be seen. Unfortunately, there is no preview, so it is a matter of testing objects until you find an object you want to use.

      The chapters can be found on the timeline or in the description.
      Terraforming can be tricky, and the simulator might resist behaving. If this needs to be more precise, let me know. We'll be able to find a solution.

    I find the SDK rather hard to use, but i enjoy all your tips.
    It would be a little bit easier if you would activate the display of file name extension on your démos.
    Windows 10:
    Open File Explorer (open any folder).
    Click the View tab.
    Select "File name extension"
    Optionally, you can enable Hidden items.
    Filename extensions will now be visible.
    Its then a lot easier to see if a file is .xml ot .bin or .txt etc...

    Would you happen to have the skills to correct the problem of AI traffic not taking off at the Atlanta airport KATL? From what I've read it's a problem with the hold short nodes entering the runway. The AI don't stop at the hold short line. They just continue onto the runway and stop, but never take off and then vanish when they time out because they never receive take off clearance. I have discovered that the problem is with the enhanced version of the airport that was part of the USA world update. When you delete the world update, KATL reverts back to the base version and works correctly. I found that if I remove the folder "microsoft-airport-katl-atlanta" under the "Official" folder the base airport will be used without uninstalling the USA world updates. I also discovered that the imaginesim third party version on the marketplace will work correctly, but for some reason the microsoft enhanced version folder must be removed for the imaginesim version to work correctly. I don't really like the imaginesim version because of the wonky bumps in the taxi ways. Also, you mentioned Cochran Georgia in a video. I'm over in Warner Robins. Also, I been waiting for someone to do a version of middle ga airport in Macon.

    • @patriotsix5880
      @patriotsix5880  Рік тому +1

      It probably can be done by overwriting the airport and adding hold shorts. I have the Imaghinesim mod myself. I contacted Imaghinesim over the terraforming issues as well as the default tower and the Imaginesim tower existing at the same location side by side and butt ugly. Imaginesim replied but did not seem eager to fix the issue. So when a creator is not willing to improve a product that you pay for, I cross them off the list forever. I can delete the Asobo KATL and the Asobo tower will disappear until the next update. That said, it is not my job to make up for Imaginesim oversights. Sure, if it was free, I would do what it takes to improve it. But, we are talking about payware. Sorry, I have now stepped off my soapbox but nothing irritates me more than a lack of customer support, follow-up, and action. I am currently sitting at KATL and I use FSLTL traffic. I must have picked a bad time because there is no activity at the moment for me to monitor. Or it might be because I am in Devlopr mode.
      I have made several improvements to Georgia. I was uploading all of the mods I built on Flightsim.to, state by state. I have close to 500 scenery mods I have built. I stopped uploading to Flightsim.to before I got to Georgia. I find the folks that download are mostly ingrates. Out of every 1,000 downloads, you will get a single thumbs up. I don't ask for anything but if somebody can't even say thank you, they go into the same dumpster as Imaginesim. 😂 It makes me feel like a prostitute. To be fair, I have met two folks there that are nice and appreciative. I have built everything that asked for since they contacted me.
      If you want to reach out to me I will gladly give you my Georgia work. You can go to my Facebook Group and contact me that way. facebook.com/groups/788136852324508 I know some folks do not use Facebook. I understand that. So, if you are one of those that do not like Facebook, you can email me at patriotsix9677@comcast.net
      Here are the Georgian scenery packages I have built:
      Athens Nightlights
      The Battery - Earth files and night lighting (The location of the new Braves Stadium)
      Atlanta Motor Speedway Earth files and night lights
      Mercedez Benz Stadium Earth files
      Extensive night lighting in Atlanta
      Buckhead Night lighting
      Carterville Night lighting
      Hampton Night lighting
      Norcross Night lighting
      Stone Mountain Night lighting
      Woodstock Night lighting
      Macon area night lighting. I think it includes Warner Robbins
      KMAC scenery
      KMCN Scenery
      Keep in mind, I am not a 3D guy. I have no interest in building 3D models. I use models available to me in the Official and Community folder to achieve a likeness as best I can. It will not be exact but there will be a hangar where a hangar belongs.
      If you are interested, tag me in one of the methods mentioned above. I expect nothing in return. I am happy to help a friend out.
      if there is something else you want, let me know. I am busy through Christmas but after the holiday I will be back to building. I may look at KATL after the holidays to see what I can do. Once you commit to overwriting an airport, you are in for the long haul. A small airport, no problem. At an International airport like KATL, bring a pack mule with a week's worth of provisions. It's a job.
      Thanks for watching.
