Thanks guys, might take a gander at that Heli2009 cheers

Hi I am trying to get a helicopter (ai) to do a vertical take off as real ones do say up to 20 feet and then fly horizontal to gain airspeed and take off. This is so I can get them to take off from a helipad on an offshore platform correctly. Is there a way to do this. Thanks

Grau I followed your instructions re MCX and it worked a treat. Thank you so much guys for all the help.

grau Thank you for that I will try it instead of using Library Creator to do the BGL file.

Thanks igami.

Thanks Tom, yes I was thinking that too. Thats why I just drew a cube as above. I'll maybe reinstall sketchup and MCX.

Hi all, I have been trying to make a model house using sketchup 8. I succeeded and exported it as a .dae. I then opened MCX and imported it and then tried to export it as an FS2004 scenery .bgl file but I get the following warnings and the file is not created. Also I cannot see the building in MCX. the texture folder is created with the textures inside. 16:05 Mdl9Writer Warning (Part Part1) Found colocated vertices within triangle 16:05 Mdl9Writer Warning ( 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000) 16:05 Mdl9Writer Warning ( 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000) 16:05 Mdl9Writer Warning ( 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000). this goes on for Part 2 and Part 3. I even made a simple cube and textured it and went through the whole process and got the same results. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Still happening in Firefox today 16th Feb 24! Must be the site or all the files are affected by virus. Maybe Flightsim has been hacked? Just a thought.

Thank you Bernard. Should have remembered That - Been a while since I tried doing a bit of scenery.

Well to cut a long story short I eventually got EZscenery to work with FS9 and at no cost. I finally have got MAIW objects and Classic WWII buildings etc. However what I am missing are Aircraft models of that era. I have tried using Library maker but so far all the models I try it tells me are invalid and to only use FS9 or FSX models. Anyone know where I can find FS9 only WWI aircraft models, i.e. models that haven't originally been designed for 2002 or earlier, just dedicated 2004 models. OR can I use FSX static models in FS9 scenery? ? Thanks for all the replies. Very interesting. cj75s

Hi folks, I have been designing WWII airfields lacking in FS9. I am r4e-creating RAF Evanton in NE Scotland in the Cromarty Firth. It had a main runway which I think was 09/27 the 27 end stuck out into the Firth. So I designed it as such and all looked good in ADE but when I tested it in FS9 I noticed I could see the wave effects under the runway still. Is there anything I can do to avoid this. I have tried using EZscenery and setting a jetty out into the sea but I can't seem to get it deep enough so as not to appear over the runway or dissapear into the sea! Any help would be appreciated as it's bugging me. Thankyou in advance cj75s

I do use ADE a lot to create airfields MS omitted. How could I use military objects in ADE? Maybe I should trawl through the help files. I do have EZ Scenery for fsx and thought it should be valid for FS9 as well but it tells me I have an invalid licence although I do recall I had bought it yonks ago for FS9 before FSX came on the go. Unfortunately I have no longer got that licence. Where can I find SceneGenX? is it payware? Thanks for your replies guys.

Thanks CoIR948, I think I understand you.

Hi all, I am a seasoned flight simmer. From fs5 to fsx I've flown them all but have recently gone back to FS9 Flight sim 4 because I want to create a post WWII scenario which is workable on my rig, which struggles a wee bit on FSX. So I chose FS9 which works fine for me giving about 30 fps. However I find the need to use rwy12 Object Placer to fill my scenery with just ex WWII images and objects. I have found that its difficult to use Rwy12 OP with RAF buildings found on Flightsim.com. I have downloaded FS9Hangers etc and tried to create an xml file and have placed the texture (.jpg or sometimes ,bmp files) into the correct places but still the images do not show up in Rwy12 menu! how can I do this, anyone?? thank you Flightsim.com for providing this forum space. thank you all in advance of your answers. cj75s

Ah right. How do you place a waypoint in ADE or do you use another tool. I have managed to place a heliport in my scenery and it comes up in FSX but I cannot see an xxAlt.bgl saved anywhere.
