• 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.

    MCX 1.8.250411 Export Scenery to TXT loops

    Arno. It was indeed not looping. I am aware of empty file for bgls with no objects. I was looking at logging window which said start reading objects, finished reading, then txtwriter started, and a second line saying txtwriter starting, but no line saying txtwriter finished. It did create an...

    MSFS2020 aircraft model to P3D

    Arno: That resolved errors, and yes, it did change mapping, but flipping UV1 vertically resolved that. Problem now is all the colors are washed out ( faded). Not sure if there was some additional msfs stuff that might have been used to enhance the color crispness or if some get lost in the...

    MCX Event Log

    Arno: The MCX Event Log UI has a couple subtle changes. 1. There is no longer a Select All Entries to copy all entries to the Clipboard when right clicking in the Event Log window. It can certainly be accomplished by clicking on the last entry, the scroll to top and Shift Click to select all...

    MCX Merge objects and Animation

    **Solved** Figured out that I have to go to the Hierarchy view and MOVE ( drag) the number board object to the Jetway Head rotation bone. Change the offsets to be relative to that bone. This associates the attachment ( or merged model) to the animation component of the jetway.....

    MCX Merge objects and Animation

    I have a model jetway that I wanted to add a Number board to the jetway Head. I tried 2 approaches. I have the number board as a separate mdl. I used the Attached Object editor to add an attach point at the proper location and used the GUID of the number board mdl. I create 2 bgl files, the...

    Patch ADE 1.78/9 From 32Bit to 64Bit

    Jon: This might be the version of the FSUIPCClient.dll you are using. Yours is dated 2015. There was an update in 2018 that added support for among other things, 64bit. I have not tried this with your latest 64bit patch process yet, however using the new dll with the unpatched version of ade...

    P3D v4 MCX attached object editor

    I set that parameter to True, and while it shows some subtle glows for ground lighting, the Inner/outer dashed lines that show when you first add a new Effect still do not show up. I only see the basic attach points parameters. (fx name, parm, orientation, position) I am using the P3DV5...
