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.

20 years ago, FS2002 and FS2004 era, I experimented with some scenery design for my Virtual Airline TCA Alaska to improve our virtual Iditarod support flights.
Wasilla, Skwentna, Finger Lake (a lake with some lodges), Rainy Pass (with the now famous Rainy Pass Lodge), Rohn Tatitna (a cabin in the wood), ghost town Iditarod checkpoint and McGrath airport. Some of these sceneries had Iditarod specific objects like straw bales and seasonal differences, like snow on roofs and hardened water surfaces. Also made the Anchorage starting line, with banners, people and dog sleds, for realism. Only my McGrath alaska scenery was release publicly in Flightsim.com. I definitely got the designing bug then.
I was surprised by the rush I got from designing scenery. I loved getting the feeling for the place I was designing. I couldn't get to Alaska, designing an alaskan scenery was the next best thing.
Unfortunately, when FSX came along I couldn't afford upgrading right away and work life took hold of more time than it should and my designing spree was cut short.
Lately the bug has been awakening again and I am going through tutorials (people offering tutorials these days amaze me) to see if I can still do it. I want to start with Ephrata airport, made famous by the Spielberg movie Always, one of my favorite.
