@Patriot Six. Thank you for this awesome video, and all of your help and assistance. The location that has the fuel pumps in the middle of the complex , is an Aerial Spraying Service that provides crop dusting services for the farming communities in/ around this part of the country. Keep up the good work partner. As always, I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for the Love provided to 48A!!!

[@patriotsix5880]

Well, there you go. The fuel stations serve a purpose. I was caught up in the airport name. I am used to municipal airports having at least a small commercial component but that is inaccurate. Municipal means owned by the people. That's all. If I wasn't making a video I could have used more time and more detail.

[@jfyfe67]

Thank you for your comprehensive and well-paced walk-through of the process. This is the video that I needed! Cheers!

[@patriotsix5880]

Thanks for watching. That is one of my earlier videos. I am glad it helped you out. The KZbin algorithm sends people to the older stuff.

[@Despiser25]

My local Airport E16 has the opposite problem. They made everything too tall, lol. Just dabbling my feet in this thanks for the tuts!

[@vasily2022]

Thank you. There are a lot of small airports where adding just a couple of buildings and objects will make a huge difference and once I understand your video I will be very happy. I understood the tool for xplane 11 but this is the first time I have seen the msfs one. Very helpful.

[@patriotsix5880]

You are welcome. It is not hard. You might try one of my latest. It walks through the tools and once you understand the tools you will be better prepared. Try this one and you will have the basics and then you can come back. to 7. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3y9pmSEntuom8U

[@mikebryant8498]

I've been using flightsim since FS5 and creating scenery has come a very long ways. Just like painting aircraft. What used to be simple and very easy to do has since became somewhat complicated. Your video has inspired me to possibly try and work on one of my own local airports, KMOB, KBFM, and a couple of the smaller private airports in my area. Thank you for taking the time to do this and teach others how do this craft. One question I have is when you were researching the types of hangars to use, how was you able to view those hangars to know which ones you wanted to use ? Is there a program that shows pics of the objects ?

[@patriotsix5880]

I do caution against bringing an airport in. The resolution is limited up close. For example, you would not want to capture hangers you taxi near. The photogrammetry looks good at a distance but not up close. If you want to capture a remote building at the airport but not a building you frequent, sure, you can do that.

[@seba6452]

Thank you very much for the this video. It has helped me alot! And also what soundtrack is that in the video?

[@patriotsix5880]

Thanks for watching. I do not recall the soundtrack's name. I get music from Epidemic Sound. You can't use copyrighted music or you will get a copyright strike. So, I have to pay a subscription to stay within the rules. It is probably "Sound of Peace" I have used several and I think at the time of the video, that was what I was using. By the way, you can download an app for your phone called Shazzam that will hear a song and search for the sound online. Most of the time, it will find a result.

[@101bluesguy]

This is Wonderful, I subscribed also. Would you do my home Airport as I don't want to chance screwing it up. Hey I'm 72 a 20+ year Simmer with all versions of MS Simulators through the years, thousands of hours plus 180 Real flight with a PPL . Just curious if you do this and what would it cost. Airport is KBOK here in Brookings Oregon. Thank You.

[@patriotsix5880]

I will gladly help you out. So it is KBOK, I will take a look. In the meantime, what are your expectations for improvements at KBOK? I do not have the ability to do 3D Modeling, unfortunately. If I could model, I could make a mint. You can email me at [e-mail] with your ideas and I can share images with you.

[@Glofilter]

Great video. Can you update it with the newest version? It's quite different. Thank you!!

[@patriotsix5880]

Thank you. I am working through the videos with a newer format. I am working on Airfileds right now but doing it in quicker videos.

[@braudoux]

Hello. I just discovered your channel as I am starting to develop my own airfield. Your explanations are really accurate and clear and it is a pleasure to follow your demos... I have a question that would help me starting up. I had an airfield in P3D which does not exist in MSFS and was wondering if it is possible to import a screenshot of this scenery into the scenery editor to be used as a model to position easily runways, taxiways and aprons... I know that was possible in ADE... Thanks if you can help me finding a way.

[@patriotsix5880]

Thank you for the kind words. I have never used P3D and I have zero knowledge of how it works. If I was forced to guess I would assume you will need to start over in MSFS. It can be done though although it will take time to start over. Here is a link to a video where I build a fictional airport in MSFS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pV7WkHeOqtulb6c Good luck. Let me know if you need help.

@PatriotSix, Hi, I am impressed, and encouraging way you made your videos, in my home town there used an old flying club (OPLH), which has a historical background, but unfortunately, it's now closed in the name of development. I wish and I would certainly try to keep it alive at least in flight simulators. My first issue is that the apron in msfs 2020 is not flat, it is tilted, first I have to level the apron, which I honestly don't know how to do it, I will appreciate if you could help me out..secondly, I would like to create it like it was in my childhood (1950's). Any input/assistance will be appreciated, Thank you in advance. Keep the good work going on

[@patriotsix5880]

You can fix a lot of terrain issues by terraforming but you also have to be careful. Typically I will use a polygon around the area and simply tick terraform in the properties of the polygon. Usually this simple step will flatten the terrain. If you have issues let me know and we can work together to solve the issue. I probably cover every subject, or close to every, but it is spread out in various videos. I will see if I can find a situation where I do what you are wanting and reply again below.

How can i edit the horrible street traffic in the default scenery ( at 5:00 min you can see what i mean)? Every scenery would win Immersion from a good placed Street traffic. Thanks for the Video! Regards

[@patriotsix5880]

Hello. I understand what you are seeing and saying. The vehicle density is ticked to 100% in my settings. I have not changed the settings from 100 to see what the impact may be. I use GLOBAL VEHICLE TRAFFIC MSFS by LATINVFR but this mod changes the vehicle style to more correctly match models for the part of the world you are in. Perhaps, changing the density in the simulator options is the way to go. The simulation is a marvelous piece of software but I expect and accept limitations. Where I live, in real life, it seems every inch of asphalt is filled with cars. 😊 If the question is in regards to your simulation experience, then yes, I would change the vehicle settings to get as close to your expectations as possible. I hope that answers your questions. I am not an expert and there are a lot of things that I do not know. Happy flying.

[@Artendo100]

@@patriotsix5880 Is it possible to block streets for Traffic? Thank you for your answer. Regards

[@patriotsix5880]

@@Artendo100 I have yet to figure out how. There is a closed street at my home airport KBNA that was once an off ramp for Interstate 40. The closed road runs right up to the new taxiway. I have tried to remove the road with an exclusion polygon but the trucks and cars continue to run up to the taxiway, turn around and go back. If I ever figure it out, I will make a video because it is annoying.

[@patriotsix5880]

@@Artendo100 I researched this and what I found says that a resolution is in the works but the post was dated January 2021. There has been no activity in the thread since January 2021. This is odd. If a resolution is coming it seems to be taking a long time. If I find out more, I will let you know. If I can find a resolution I will post a video on how to do it.

[@nonlocalflow]

I've got a road going right through my airport, and I can't seem to find any way to exclude roads. Polygon with exclude roads doesn't do anything. Is that just broken, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks for your videos!

[@patriotsix5880]

You are welcome for the video and thanks for watching. Actually, you are not doing anything wrong and you are not missing anything as best I can tell. I have the same issue at KBNA. In reality, the taxi path passes over a freeway but the airport area is not terraformed correctly and I have to taxi through the freeway traffic and the cars and trucks drive through me or me through them. From my understanding, and I have researched this matter, is that the traffic is AI-controlled to run on "road materials" and removing the roads does not seem to remove the road materials and the vehicle traffic. I do not remember where I read this but I read that the current SDK is not at a point where we can edit traffic patterns. One might ask how the payware creators can manage these issues. And that is a fair question and one I do not know the answer to. Maybe the payware creators have a better tool than the current SDK provided to us. This is total speculation on my part but obviously, some creators can do more than us users. So, based on this theory, I am hoping there will be a continued improvement to the user SDK, and eventually we will be able to manage road traffic. I wish I could give you better news but that is what I know at this time. If you find out something different, please share because I will be all over fixing traffic once I can.

[@nonlocalflow]

@@patriotsix5880 No worries, thank you for the detailed reply. I'll keep my eye out for SDK updates or anything else that allows us to get rid of (or ideally, move) those pesky roads. The terraforming is definitely the culprit in my airport too. Super annoying, but until we have better tools I guess we're stuck.

[@anthonyvallillo422]

Outstanding! One question - where is the illustrated library of objects? How did you decide which hangars would be most like the real ones?

[@patriotsix5880]

Greetings Anthony. To my knowledge, there are no illustrations of the visual appearance of any of the hangars. You have to do this the hard way. Add a hangar, look, keep if you like, or delete if the hangar is not a match. And look at another hangar, rinse, and repeat. One by one, hangar by hangar. Yea it stinks and there is no easy way. I will normally make a note of an interesting hangar I might use again. For this video, I paused the recording and manually searched for matches.

[@anthonyvallillo422]

@@patriotsix5880 Bummer! I wonder how many of each type of object there are..... Is this how the commercial vendors go about creating detailed airports?

[@patriotsix5880]

@@anthonyvallillo422 The good vendors have 3D creators handcraft the airports, buildings, ETC. Take a look at FlyTamp's work. Every detail down to billboards and highways is there. The FlyTampa Vegas airport and the Vegas strip in the Marketplace are outstanding.

@@patriotsix5880 I have the FLy Tampa KLAS for XP11 and you are right - it is great! Is it possible , in FS2020, to replace individual elements of non fancy airports? At my airport, KHGR, Asobo placed a control tower that would look more at home at JFK - it must be 300 feet tall! KHGR has one of those small prefab towers.

[@patriotsix5880]

@@anthonyvallillo422 Anything in your community or official folder is usable. I have noticed that many of the vendors group assets together. For example, you see a hangar from KLAX. That hangar may fit you needs . However, the hangar may include several buildings and objects that might not fit you current situation. In an earlier tutorial I replaced generic bridges with bridges more true to life. I was able to find bridges in the scenery that is close enough in style to the real bridge in real life.

[@patriotsix5880]

@@uscstaylor So, I looked, and I saw the same thing as you. There is a slope the buildings are setting on. This can be improved by terraforming the ground at the buildings. I would build a polygon around the buildings. I would let the polygon be wide enough to end about halfway between the buildings and the runway but behind the buildings, I would stop a few feet behind the buildings. Then I would select terraforming, and that is all. I would let the terraforming level the ground. Also, I would keep the terraform falloff to a small amount. Five meters. It defaults to 200 meters. That should level the ground out.

Do I need the modellib package loaded in project editor?

[@patriotsix5880]

I am going to say yes, you need a modeLib. Particularly if you are adding objects. However, it seems like in the back of my mind I remember a few packages without a modelLib in the Project Editor. I honestly do not recall enough to say with confidence that I have seen this before, I have built hundreds of packages over the last year and a half but it seems like I have seen this vefore. If you have any doubt though, I completed a new package-building tutorial today which is up-todate with the newset SDK. I recommend giving this video a look and then you will be comfortable that you have a proper package to work with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joiumZt5j5qVmKc

Jesus man, do something about the intro music volume. It's annoying having to turn volume down on every one of your videos

[@patriotsix5880]

I am sorry Big E but neither Jesus nor I can help you. I run the music -12 to -18 Db below the voice level which is the industry standard for video. I have worked in audio my entire life and owned and operated a recording studio for 15+ years. I learned quickly years ago that sound is like the temperature of a room and personal. Everybody has an opinion and you can't please everybody. As an old audio engineer friend of mine used to say "People know two things. Their name and how to run sound." 😊 Every end-user is situational with their own equipment and settings. If your system has any audio compression or audio limiting built into your sound card or mix software it will exacerbate what you hear and what you hear will not be what I hear. The same applies if your built-in audio equalizer is heavily weighted towards mid-range frequencies. High mid-range settings also make me cringe. The audio transducer you use can range all over the place from medium to great. So it makes it impossible on my end to make all happy. I try to split the difference as best I can. I use CC so if the audio is not to your liking, you have the option to mute the sound and use closed captioning. This is something I spend a lot of time on to help others but it is not a paying gig. So I will not chase my tail trying to manage all situations and please everybody because I already know that I can't. Best of luck and thanks for watching.
