• 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.

    MSFS2020 Simobject displays at incorrect altitude - please disregard as mamu has advised me via his Discord hints and tips channel.

    I have included in my water airport a simobject of a floatplane which is a stock aircraft ie Black Square DHC-2 Beaver with a 3rd party livery. The floatplane displays too high ie the bottom of the floats are just touching the water instead of immersed half way as the aircraft for the flight...

    Material base color does not display in MSFS2020

    Thanks. I was thinking later after posting that I would try adding a base color with MSFS Standard material. I guess when exporting for MSFS one should always only use the MSFS material panel. Although last year I didn't have problems with the same object. Thanks again.

    Material base color does not display in MSFS2020

    I have created two separate scenery objects with Blender (v3.6) and some faces I have assigned a 'base color' material which do not display correctly in MSFS2020. One object, a ramp (see image below) has the walkway as near black which either displays as white or no color in MSFS2020. Yet in the...

    MSFS20 What is the best method to add lighting effects to a building

    If you mean Dave's 3D people. I have a copy. BTW CAM9 is on it's way Part of the Seair Seaplanes terminal building (CAM9) started last night - I just purchased a new laptop so need to spend time setting that up and installing software.

    MSFS20 What is the best method to add lighting effects to a building

    I will add off dock parking and upload it. Have a look at the image of the fuel barge at night and you will see a small 'light' in a window. That is the sales area. Not sure what you mean by 'watering hole'. If you mean hotel/bar maybe Cardero's Restaurant at 1583 Coal Harbour Quay. Is that...

    MSFS20 What is the best method to add lighting effects to a building

    Thanks, I thought that it was a recent W10 update causing it as it started up and ran a few months ago and now won't. Even tried downloading again without success. Hey the penny just dropped. I worked out that I mustn't have .net installed as 3 months ago in an attempt to fix an ongoing...

    How to prevent random ships appearing - solved, AI ships

    I understand from what mamu stated that the only way to stop AI boats was as you state ie Settings>General Options>.......

    How to prevent random ships appearing - solved, AI ships

    Mamu advises that it would be AI boats and the only way to stop them is in 'setup'.

    How to prevent random ships appearing - solved, AI ships

    Thanks Gary. ExcludeWorldScripts. I note that the start and finish waypoints need to be 'covered' with the exclusion rectangle. I would have no idea where they are hopefully within the harbor, but what if they are at some other location? Mamu has just advised (in Discord) as I type that there...

    How to prevent random ships appearing - solved, AI ships

    In my water airport very large ships appear in random sometimes interfering with a scenery object in the water. I am wondering if there is a way to prevent random ships appearing in a certain area of a harbor. I am thinking perhaps using an exclusion rectangle however I won't know for sure if...

    MSFS20 What is the best method to add lighting effects to a building

    MSFS20 What is the best method to add lighting effects to a building

    I think that perhaps most people apart from those living in the area would even know about this 'airport' exists. I have downloaded a lot of images of the 2 'airport' buildings and took 'measurements' of docks and buildings from Google Earth and will start to model them in the near future...

    How do I add night lighting to one face

    I am happy with the reflections which are more apparent at distance eg Anyway the airport is not a 24/7 airport and so no user should be trying to fly when it is dark. I will release it later.

    How to find the 'faulty' mesh? - Problem found

    I don't think that it is a Blender error. The error occurs in MSFS DEvmode when I do a project BUILD.
