The THING movie site/ Needa FSX flatten app

[gdr1944]

I have all the info I need to recreate the THING movie site but I can't find a FSX Flatten app.


In any case I will build this scenery. I have a building layout and several photos of the movie area
during construction.
Ill talk to the aircraft re painters to do the choppers when Im finished


I placed the DC3 in the movie shot before I found the site.

SBuilderX or ADE can create terrain flattens and exclusions in FSX

Ok sigh...ADEx v01.50.4402(PRO) will not connect...yes yes I have all the SDK stuff in the correct folders and FSFUIPC registered.

I don't want to build a airport I want to flatten a area.

SBuilderX..I remember trying to follow the FS9v Tutorial(s) and could not figure out how to use it. I think I got to about the 6th or7th step, what ever is was I just couldn't get past it.

Isn't there something like FLATTENx101 or FSTflatten that would work in FSX_ACCEL


I really like the FS9 FSTflatten the app will read FSX input and output a BGL But when dropped into scenery folder of area NO Flatten.
Can the BGL be converted to FSX?

I do not know if Flattens created with FS9 terrain techniques will work in FSX. I can only suggest that you give it a try.

PS some folks with the latest version of FSUIPC have problems connecting with ADE. A slightly older version may do the trick. Mine is dated April 25, 2011 (v 4.7.0.3) not registered.

Well Mr. scruffyduck you actuality made me learn something.
I know I can be thick headed but eventually I get there .
I have a nice flat service to build AREA31

Thanks again

I am pleased that you are getting ahead with your project

I was thinking of doing this scenery last night while I was creating a De Niro figure from Deer Hunter for my UH-1D slick I'm working on. I've always liked the idea of movie or port-overs from them for MSFS.

Great idea.
