Creating a new island

Post by Wnn » Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:02 am

Hello everybody,
(sorry for my english, i'm from France....)

I want to create a new island in the middle of the pacific, my own island. First, i read the TERRAIN DESIGN FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR X, then create my island, and when it's done, try it in FSX... But, when i try to land my plane, the island is like water.

Is there someone to help me ?

Thanks in advance

Salut,

Please indicate all the steps that you have followed to create your island, with as much detail as possible. Screenshots of the SBuilderX workspace will help.

Amicalement.
Luis

Buenas tardes Luis,

I do everythings like the MAKING AN ISLAND in the TERRAIN DESIGN FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR X from the SbuilderX's help menu. The only diference is the location : not in Saint Barth, my island is in the pacific ocean.

Sorry, i can't post pictures, because i delete all the polygons. I'm going to recreate it.


Muchas gracias

1 - background from yahoosatellite. There's nothing here, but i do all the steeps like in tutorials from the net
2 - a polygon Exclude all terrain items
3 - Polygon HYDRO_GENERIC_OCEAN_PERENNIAL
4 - A polygon HOLE
5 - select all
6 - compile
7 - Try to land in FSX, beside of the tower i put on the island
8 - deep blue sea...

I don't want to be a fisher, i just want to do like a bird !!!!!

Most designers are surprised to see water where there islands are. :)

You need to make a landclass under the land, as the landclass defaulted for that location is probably... a water tile!
