how to create and edit roads in P3D

Post by han.rohana »

Hi,

I've been searching in this forum on these two topics but came across to none.

How do I edit roads in P3D? Can it be done in ADE or need other tool?

My plan is to create a 3D road that follows vector lines (converted from shapefiles) or is it possible to create own path if the default vector is incomplete..


Thank you

Hi,

In order to edit the vector roads you need to have shapefiles of the new road data you acquired or created. If you have a shapefile editor than you can assign the correct attribute GUID to the roads for the style you want.

Here's the link to that part of the SDK.

Thank you.. I'll look into that.

I've came across a tool Instant Scenery 3 that can create roads and other features for P3D.. but when I tried it in P3D v4, I can't find the add ons.

IS3 does not support P3D V4 ...

Hmm, I was wondering if I could add roads the same way I would add a runway, is this possible?

For instance, if I have a road that goes in front of the runway and I want people to see Max detail on approach, couldn't I just polygons model that portion of it?
