• 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.

    FSXA Surface: Unknown - RWY Markings

    It looks like that. You' re right.

    FSXA Surface: Unknown - RWY Markings

    Probably not the best idea, George. This would have a negative impact on the AI ground movements. A displaced threshold adds to the TORA (Takeoff Run Available) but reduces the LDA (Landing Distance Available).

    FSXA Surface: Unknown - RWY Markings

    Imagine you are working on an AFCAD which caters a semitransparent ground poly. If the RWY of the selected airport features an offset threshold, the corresponding arrows will be visible on the semitransparent poly and on the AFCAD RWY underneath. So either you have to mask out the arrows from...

    FSXA Surface: Unknown - RWY Markings

    Thanks Ed, but as I wrote, all items in 'Markings' are unchecked. I just verified that once more. Maybe Jon will chime in - I' m pretty sure that he will know if this issue can be circumnavigated.

    FSXA Surface: Unknown - RWY Markings

    The feature 'Surface Unknown' works perfect for me. With one exception: After unchecking all items in 'Markings' I still see the arrows as they appear with an 'Offset Threshold'. Is there any way around?

    Domodedovo Comms problem

    Hi pianisthuy! Why don' t you go for EditVoicepack? It is far better than the default ATC, I think.

    KVPS airport background question

    Hi NGDriver, There is quite an easy way around this patchy look. 1st - chose 'Airport Background Flatten Exclude Autogen' to replace the default flatten 2nd - put a layer of 'Airfield1' on top (just follow the boundary of the previously designed flatten). That' s the result for spring and...

    FSX fuel truck using short cuts

    Moin Dave, The fuel truck just does its predefined job - no matter which surface is underneath. I' m afraid that this is a hard coded pattern in FSX. My guess is that the fuel truck 'reads' the size of the relevant parking spot and performs accordingly.

    Stock ILS Feathers in Wrong Place

    Hi Dan, This might be the reason.

    Round turnarounds

    Just change the blue taxipath 'Type: Taxi' into a green taxipath 'Type: Path' and you will get rid of it. You can also delete the blue taxipath which runs parallel to the black taxipath 'Type Runway'. It is useless. So far I didn' t encounter any AI aircraft which would not backtrack on the...

    Dual Tower Views?

    Hi falcon409, Why don' t you add a CameraDefinition to your 'Cameras' file? (path: C: ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX) [CameraDefinition.012] Title = 3B5 view Guid = {you need an individual Guid here} Description = 3B5 view Origin = Fixed SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel SnapPbhReturn = False...

    FSX/P3D : Abidjan Airport (DIAP) Ivory Coast

    According to the AIP of Ivory Coast your airport should be at 6m/21ft. Usually the altitude correction file contains nothing but the revised altitude. If I correct the altitude of DIAP I get a file called 'DIAP_ADEX_hf_ALT.bgl' and its size is 1 KB.
