I'm building a WW2 airfield (Ibsely, a busy RAF & USAAF Fighter airfield) that used to exist about 5 miles from me, on the edge of the New Forset, here in the UK.  I'm copying an operation ground plan I found but in FS9 I have some tree that obstruct the perimiter road/taxiways & I'd like to know if there's a tool I can obtain & use to get rid of them?   I've just got Flight1's Instant Scenery tool & have placed a control tower in the right location  Roll Eyes & have just spotted a delete/move button & wondered if I can do this with FS scenery?   
Thanks.

A simple utility named Excbuilder removes default objects.

This link - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=excbuilder*&FileName=&Author=&Ca...

will show you the program, a tutorial for the program, and an update for the tutorial (and a fourth file that you don't need).

Highly recommended.

cheers,
Joe

There's a simple tool you can buy; it's called a chainsaw.  Grin Just stick the blade on the tree and it will magically cut through the tree.  Cheesy

Will EscBuilder work with FSX? Tutorial only refers to FS2004.
Thanks.

Honestly, the simplest (and cheapest!) solution would be to download and install the freeware ADE9X. It is a modern replacement for the venerable (but ancient) AFCAD program.

Using ADE9X, you can easily drop "exclude rectangles" to clear the ground for you, among other things incidental to building an airfield, such as runways, taxiways, aprons, et cetera...  Grin

There is a version of Exclude Builder for FSX. You'll find the link in the first post here:
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4374

Though there is no help file, it works the same as ExcBuilder with the added feature that you can create multiple exclusion before compiling.

I am trying to use ExcBuilderv2 with FSX.
I have FSConnect300 installed in modules folder.
I have MSXML4 installed
bglcom.exe, bglcomp.xsd, compile.bat are in the same folder with ExcBuilder

First problem is setting the coordinates for the exclusion rectangle using FSC. I get an error message that there is a problem communicating with FSConnect.
If I manually enter the coordinates and Generate source code and .bgl, when i run the compile.bat I get the following error messages:

ERROR c2034: XML parse fatal error (line, column, error)
ERROR: 7, 31, Illegal xml chatacter
ERROR C2470: unrecoverable error parsing xml!
ERROR C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)
Error C2003: failed to process file

Here is the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData
   version = "9.0"
   xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >
   <ExclusionRectangle
        latitudeMinimum = "N16° 55.02'"
        latitudeMaximum = "N16° 55.05'"
        longitudeMinimum = "W89° 52.58'"
        longitudeMaximum = "W89° 52.56'"
       excludeAllObjects = "TRUE" />
</FSData>

Any ideas?

Remove the 'degree mark', it's not recognized. Also the 'minute mark' is not necessary.

When entering in the degree-decimal minute format just leave a space between degree and minutes.

latitudeMinimum = "N16 55.02"

Thanks Dave,

Any thoughts ob why FSConnect is not connecting FSX with EXCBuilder? The .dll file is in the module folder.
