• 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 General chat archive

    Is there a way to search the chat archives? Someone asked me to post my batch file which generates photoreal bgls on the fly, primarily using DOS to create inf files line by line. A 75 hour batch file and I had an entire state in photoreal. My system took a tremendous fatal hit shipping it...

    FSX Download images with Infrared 4th channel

    Final fix for IR 4th channel masks....... Extract/Save the GeoTiff info with FWTools, save image as a bmp, convert back to Tiff then use the GeoTiff info to convert tif back to GeoTiff....somehow,doing it this way squashes out the 4th channel...not a very rigorous explanation...sorry...

    Anyone using FWTools?

    I dunno guys... I got FWTools and wrote a commandline routine to take my downloaded 0.16m jp2's, (about 15 gigs),warp them,store the geotiff data,write the inf file, resample it, and collect the bgls. It took about 60 hours straight, ( I wasn't home) but I had commercial level photoreal bgls...

    How to do airport photoshoots without getting shot/prosecuted

    Airport photos I actually went into the airport managers outer office with a half completed screenshot of the buildings, and a screenshot of what Microsoft's version was. I asked for 5 minutes of his time. I mentioned the name of a few people who were acquaintances of the both of us...

    Problem exporting FSX_Gmax .mdl

    Thanks for the tip... Renaming the gamepack was a really bad idea....I converted back and got rid of the problem. Wandering off the reservation...a really bad idea.

    Problem exporting FSX_Gmax .mdl

    I start with the original problem here.... I have an untextured edittable mesh box I am trying to export to an MDL file with the FSX gamepack (I renamed it FSX...maybe not a good idea?). I have a fairly up to date .net framework 3.0 installed on my system,w/ a 3.5 service pack. My box...

    FS2004 Gmax says this is a fatal error

    Problem is fixed... Your solution did the trick, but I then had to edit the bootstrap file because I changed the name to FSX instead of the MS name FSX_GmaxGamePack and the bootstrap file generated an error. Much obliged.

    FS2004 Gmax says this is a fatal error

    3D renderer message I need a little more help here.. I've decided to install a dual gamepack system , and I understand how to do it. My FS2002 gamepack works perfectly. I Installed the FSX gamepack from the FSX SDK and I call it FSX. Starting from the FSX icon shortcut from inside the...

    Having issues excluding

    Some structures need to be revealed first.... Sometimes, a stock airport will load without any generic building rectangles showing. Using an exclusion rectangle brings up a dialog box which indicates you CAN exclude them, and it didn't work for me either. If you load your stock airport...

    FSX Download images with Infrared 4th channel

    3DEM is great for helping with Elevation data and I downloaded it, but as I understoodd it one has to have an accurately projected dem file loaded first before one can get the exents somehow. It has great graphics, for sure

    GeoTIFF file creation with GDAL
