• 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.

    MSFS20 Introducing Chief Petty Officer Mike Forney and prepare to be projected to the 1950's

    This will be an excellent addition to my small cadre of Helicopters in MSFS. Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to seeing your progress. On a side note. . .the pilots head is too small.

    SBuilderX 3.15

    Is this version available anywhere? It doesn't even seem to be on this site which is odd, but every search I've done renders dead links, blank pages, etc.

    FSX IS3 Question

    Yes, it sits at 6600ft in NE Idaho near Island Park. I suspect that an update to MCX recently may have had an effect on some of the settings in the "Option" menu. I know after fixing the drawcall batching several years ago I went on to do numerous back country strips in Idaho and never had the...

    FSX IS3 Question

    When placing objects at the airport I'm currently building, then closing the Sim and restarting the Sim at that airport, the objects have shifted off of their original spots. The shadow associated with the object remains where it should but the objects have moved. I had this problem about 3...

    MCX Error when Loading Collada Object

    I did notice that the download speed was very slow (5 mins for a 20meg file). I also downloaded the LibCreatXML file and it was also very slow for a small file (several minutes). That isn't the case for downloads outside of FSdeveloper dot com

    MCX Error when Loading Collada Object

    My mistake. I updated earlier today and apparently I did not get all the files moved over. All's well!

    MCX Error when Loading Collada Object

    This is a fairly simple object from Sketchup with just two default colors, however when loading it into MCX for conversion to an mdl I get the error message I've attached immediately. Drum by Ed Wells, on Flickr

    (FSX) TmfViewer Question

    Is there a way to show airport locations within the viewer? I want to mimic the default vegetation around an airport I'm doing and having at least a position area showing so I can zero in on the specific veggies would be helpful.

    Airport editing in ADE by a second party

    Clarification is required I know. I have tweaked an airport in ADE for a forum member and preparing to send it back to him for release. I'm pretty sure he's going to open it in ADE to, at the very least, view it and ensure everything looks correct. If he edits anything (minor or otherwise) can...

    Replacing default Island with Photoreal_cont.

    So obvious when you see it. . .My Math teacher always made a point to tell me I was making it harder than it really was. Apparently I never learned my lesson. Thank you for proving her point, lol I was so zoned in on how to do an Island (water poly, second poly around the shoreline, "make a...

    Replacing default Island with Photoreal_cont.

    I have no answers, I've tried everything I know to do and all I come up with is either a peninsula with default terrain sticking out under the satellite image or what I've already documented above. Someone out there knows how to fix this, I just need to find the forum where that person resides.

    Replacing default Island with Photoreal_cont.

    That will probably be my next step after I figure out why the landmass to the right of the Island is missing. As you can see from the image the QMID cell cuts into the landmass and I need to figure out how to get it back. QMID13 by Ed Wells, on Flickr This shows QMID13 and the area of the cell...

    Replacing default Island with Photoreal_cont.

    This illustrates why I try to go out of my way to steer clear of working near water. . .it's a royal PITA, lol. I have done an exclude to remove the default. . .filled that area back in with a hydro poly and knocked out the area needed to display the new photoreal Island. That portion has gone...

    Resample Compile Error

    I am trying assist a friend in compiling a simple ground texture for FSX. I have compared his inf file and the required bitmaps and see nothing wrong. I've compared his inf to one of mine with similar bitmaps (Fa, Wi, Sp, N, etc). everything looks correct. . .despite that when I drop the inf on...
