FSX plus Horizon VFR new scenery question?
Posted: 06 Sep 2009, 16:36
As a winter project, I would like to enhance the Horizon VFR scenery in FSX with some now defunct RAF and civil airfields. I have been reading up and playing with ADE9X and FSX Planner.
I have the basics of both but am being troubled by the Horizon terrain mesh when I test the airfield in FSX.
ADE9X does give a polygon tool for flatten and exclude, but all the tutorials show it inside the taxiways. I need (building on 'virgin' soil) to flatten and exclude the whole airfield area (ideally) before I start work. At the moment an altitude across the airfields area (difference of about 40ft) mean half buried RWs at one end and floating RWs at the other.
Is there an easy way to flatten the land? A default airfield is already done, so enhancing it is much easier, however none of my projects are there in FSX!
The list (if I sort this out
) will include RAF Tangmere, RAF Thorney Island, CAT Hamble, South Downs Gliding Club and RNAS Ford.
