• 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.

    Design Discussion for Sloping Runway Scenery

    Is there any way to do this from 3DS/GMAX? I have a groundpoly drawn out as an editable poly but performance is terrible when it's placed in FSX as an asphalt platform.

    Looks great! I live about 20 miles from Leicester :) I'm currently working on Coventry Airport, it'll be nice to have a highly detailed local airfield to fly to!

    Ok, thanks for the help :)

    FSXA Ground Poly Alignment Issues

    So images obtained from Google/Bing servers are not suitable for use in 3DS? Where can I obtain 'local flat earth projection' imagery?

    FSXA Ground Poly Alignment Issues

    The point 0,0 in 3DS is a sharp corner where I can get a precise latitude/longitude for, so I know that anything around that point will be aligned correctly. Is the solution to a problem like this to split the groundpoly up into smaller sections and export them with their own reference...

    FSXA Ground Poly Alignment Issues

    I don't think the accuracy is the issue, I didn't trace the polys from the image shown in the screenshot above, I used several much higher resolution images and worked my way across the apron, it's a very accurate polygon of the apron.

    FSXA Ground Poly Alignment Issues

    I used several higher resolution images at the same zoom level to trace the groundpoly, so blurred edges were not a problem. Is it just a case of tracing a poly that is a few meters wider than the original imagery suggests?

    FSXA Ground Poly Alignment Issues

    Hello! I am in the process of working on an airport and I've hit a bit of an issue with my ground polygons. It appears that a model exported from 3DS Max does not align correctly in Flight Simulator X, even with the correct lat/lon point and orientation (The poly has been traced from a...

    FSXA Textures not showing after first flight

    Got the issue fixed. I removed some old scenery areas and cleaned some things up in scenery.cfg. All is displaying well now! :)

    FSXA Textures not showing after first flight

    I start all the flights from the same saved flight file. I'll restore all settings to default to see if any tweaks have had an adverse effect on FSX. Steve Edit: Just reset everything possible, still an issue. I'll have chat with one of my testers when he gets online to see if we can get to...
