• 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.

    FS2004 AGN Density

    Looks like a bug, let me check.

    FS2004 AGN Density

    You can redirect the output to a txt file: agn2txt yourfile.agn > yourfile.txt

    FS2004 AGN Density

    Hi, You could try to use my agntools. With the agn2txt tool you can decompile to TXT. Then you can remove a number of objects from the TXT with a text editor and use the txt2agn9 to compile it back to a AGN file. https://www.scenerydesign.org//old-releases/stable/agntools.zip

    MCX Saving a single material change in the original BGL

    It sounds like you are working with MSFS. Then easiest would be to export just that object glTF to your package sources again and afterwards compile the package to get the new BGL. ModelConverterX does not export MSFS bgl files directly. For the FSX/P3D bgl format you always have to export the...

    MSFS24 Wrong ground texture coordinates

    If you convert the package all objects and placement information is converted. So I am not sure why some objects are not placed correctly while others are. Can you post a screenshot of the issue?

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Do you have an example of a polygon that gives issues? Could you show how the footprint polygon looks? If it is one building the height should be the same and that is not how it looks.

    MSFS24 Wrong ground texture coordinates

    Are these ground polygons part of the modellib as well?

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Depending on the height of the building segment the height of each floor can be calculated differently indeed. That is not desired indeed in this situation. It could be prevented by making sure the height difference is always exactly the floor height of your texture. But I'll also check if I can...

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Did you already try the suggestions I posted above with the mansard roof? In that case the edge of the roof has no width, so it's not exactly like your picture, but it is much more friendly on the polygon count (what matters with many buildings in a city).

    Exporting custom shadow models

    I am not sure what MakeMDL does in that case. The interior, exterior and shadow models are all compiled into the same MDL file. So are you saying the with the interior model the shadow model is normally not shown?

    Exporting custom shadow models

    For many years ModelConverterX has the function already to render a custom shadow model that has been imported from a FSX/P3D MDL file. But the feature to also export these custom shadow models to MDL files was on the wish-list for quite a while already. When working on the FS2004 unlimited...

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    On second thought, I'll add an option to the texture configuration of horizontal flipping is allowed. Because by flipping the texture there will be more variation in the buildings, but I also understand that for some textures it's not desired.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    By the way, you were right about the flipped wall textures. I never noticed them before. I have fixed that bug now, so in the next development release that will be addressed.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Hi, Is this the kind of effect you are looking for? What I did here is use a mansard roof for the building, with slope set to -80 degrees, slope2 set to 0.01 degrees (using 0 degrees gives some artefacts on the texture mapping) and a slope2distance of 0.1 meter. If it is a different kind of...

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Hi, I never considered the parapets befroe, might be a nice addition. The only option at the moment might be to use a mansard roof and use a negative first angle (I never tried negative angles so not sure if it breaks). For the long walls, scenProc does not mirror the texture, I have never...
