• 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.

    I created a scenery that was included in a payware Australian Aircraft, still to this day, ill never know how many installed this bonus software included with the main package but the exercise was more for showing the flag. As my fulltime job is working in a computer retailer store, building...

    Exclusion File Problem

    Just fired up SBuilder and appended the Roads BGL file and then slewed the AC to the Objects. They are right on the point of where the default road ends but as ive since removed them from FS9 and replaced them with my own Roads BGL file i would have thought they would have gone. Ill rename the...

    Exclusion File Problem

    Thats one of the things that has me stumped Arno, its actually listed as a Lib Object in FS9 but i cant for the life of me find the offending file that is calling it. Ive appended all the VTP files for the area " XX986450.BGL" in the Scenery/Aust/Scenery folder ( this is the BGL set that i think...

    FSDS3 Come with Object Tutorials?

    Paul, there really isnt much to learn in the way of buildings in FSDS ( any version ) as most are simple boxes with the texture used to create an impression of detail. An over complicated object in FSDS or even Gmax will impact on FPS . You would not model a Door with hinges or the door knob...

    Good Freeware bad for business?

    One other consideration that is often missed with Payware and its cost, is the cost of marketing and packaging. This adds an enourmous amount to the product before one could could even break even on thier return for something that is really a niche market. Then you have the same old argument of...

    Good Freeware bad for business?

    I think with the quality of scenery and aircraft available plus the tools to construct them, users haveto realise its no longer a hobby that one dabbles with. The hours required to build up ones knowledge and expertise to create software demanded nowdays should be rewarded if the Author...

    Fsds3

    If you want more control over MakeMDL when you export as a BGL file, either rename or del the following two files. MakeMdlAircraftParms.txt MakeMdlSceneryParms.txt They are just a command " /BATCH " wich tells MakeMDL to get on with the job , this was a decision from the publisher that...
