• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    Hey all...got a question. I have run into a bit of a issue with the landing/taxi lights on the Huey. During foggy weather, the light cones are HUGE! I used merged parts that Fr.

So with the incoming arrival...

    Image straightening

    Ok....so here is my issue. I re-downloaded the newest images for my scenery project. The issue is that the images were taken at a slight angle causing a flat poly (for example the runway) not matching the Sat images. What would be an easy way to fix this (or am I screwed) Both GE images and Bing...

    Yes, I am still working on the EC-155, but this is taking priority right now. It started with a texture upgrade if SimWings old 2004 GCFV scenery.
