Aiport SDK

  • Hello members. Does anybody know, when the „Airport SDK“ will be available? I‘d like to add some small swiss airports to the scenery of FS4 on my Mac. Can I use the Scenery SDK for that or has somebody access to a Airport SDK beta version? Has anyone tried to add a self designed airport successfully to the scenery of FS4? Thx for your answers.

  • Moin,

    Which airfield are you all about? I ask this because in recent years some users have created a total of about 300 airfields and heliports in Switzerland. Unfortunately, the platform Flight-Sim.org no longer exists, where they were uploaded.

    On the one hand, these places could gradually be uploaded to a new location, on the other hand, the creation of airfields can also be learned from these examples.

    Tschüss, Michael (🍎🚁)

  • Ah, thank you very much for these informations. I didn‘t know that these models are interchangeable between different sims. Recently I‘ve been flying from LSPV (Wangen-Lachen) to LSPN (Triengen) and found only the basic terrain view from google maps. Strangely, I started my flight today from LSPN and found myself standing on a modelled airport with runway, hangars and parked aurcrafts. Why didn‘t it appear, when I recently wanted to land there? 🤔

    Flight-Sim.org was not its own simulation, but "only" a download platform for essentially FS2 and its successor FS 4.

    When you activate "Global scenery", FS 4 automatically uploads the skimmed areas.


    I attach the LSPN airport as an example. The files show the data. The starting point is always the TAP file, which is then converted to the files TMB, TOC, TSC and WAD.
