Easy Airport Creation with Building and Runway

FSCloudPort allows you to create simple runways and place buildings etc around airport. You need to sign up for access.

If you are looking to add trees, lights, auto-gen buildings, you can use Nabeel's scenery editor.

AFS2 - Scenery Editor

FCloudport airports generally do not use more than one runway object because runway objects which cross, or even parallel ones which are too near each other, will cause display problems, usually flashing textures.

You can get around this by disabling the line in the .tsc file which calls the object. You do this by adding // at the start of that line. Naturally this will only work if you have photoscenery covering that location. You can land 'on the photo' - it may not look pretty when you are on the ground. but it looks much more realistic from the air. You can create a hi-res photo background for an airport, but that will make the airport area flat.

Thanks emfrat for that. I was going to ask how to get rid of the airport runways but keep their location and you have just answered that for me. I am not much of a fan of the cultivation in user created scenery either, so I have deleted places folders in some of it. Just having satellite imagery is preferable to me. I can see my house and local landmarks easily.

No worries - I think I learned that from IZ0JUB. I also built on an idea from Krystoff, to create location markers for airstrips which can be seen in photoscenery but are not in the AFS2 database, so that I can start from there, and also see them in the moving map etc. You just use a bare-bones tsc file.

It will be a while before we get 3-D models of individual homes, so cultivation has to be more impressionist than factual - but it makes a huge difference at night. Same with 'landing on the photo' - if you like to surf the wake 50m behind the plane, ground operations can look ugly, but from the cockpit the view is quite restricted and the far end of the runway does not look too bad at all.

A long time ago I tried https://afs2-editor.nabeelamjad.co.uk/ too, it took so long to do the buildings and I tried everything and it still didn't work, I wanted to try https://www.fscloudport.com/ too, I have no idea why but it needs some account and there is no way to register

You should be able to convert sceneries using Model Converter X

ModelConverterX | SceneryDesign.org

Depending on how the original models are formatted and packaged together, most models can easily be converted, some need to be optimized with a bit of texture rework in order for proper conversion.

Example using Scene Builder Wizard

All the ideas I've tried, nothing up to my standards, Is there any way to convert scenery or airport from other sims instead?

With respect I think you are looking for some thing that doesn't exist, certainly not in this flight sim. However I have used these tools and they work very well thanks to those who provided them free of charge.

Well instead, does anyone know how to generate elevation files or create a flat elevation where the airport is.

Also, where am I supposed to put the file for https://afs2-editor.nabeelamjad.co.uk/

As I said earlier:

I am trying to create airports on FSCloudPort but I do not have access. Instructions state to come on this forum and start a conversation with Spit40. Spit40 as too many conversations open so I can not communicate with him on this forum. Would someone who can communicate with him ask him to contact me or add my account to FSCloudport steamid and account here are smberger4619.

I also don't understand why it is like that. Why you have to make an account? He should open up the Fscloudport for free for everyone. What do you think?
