• 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.

    Sketchup 'glass' question

    Hi, Just started using Sketchup and I have a question. If you create 'glass' windows instead of applying a photo/texture image of the window, can it then be converted with MCX and appear as a window when used in FSX?

    Operating on grass

    Hi, Thankyou all for your help. I'll try the 'dummy' route. I had found that the double-backslash & space didn't seem to work when I tried it a couple of days ago and was about to ask if anyone knew anymore when Voodoo posted the alternative way. I had managed to achieve a bit of success by...

    Operating on grass

    Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this. In FSX, when operating from grass runways/taxiways, it always seems that the aircraft is churning up large chunks of earth/grass and dust at all but the very slowest of speeds. Is it possible to either tone down this effect or remove it...

    Airport background doesn't appear

    Hi, Thanks for that. Would it be worth making a large grass apron to the size & shape of the airfield, or would that be likely to cause other problems? Just checked the other downloaded airfields I have installed & it appears that the version of Duxford by Dave Garwood does display the...

    FSXA Scenery Library recommendations

    Hi, Thanks for the info. Tried Matt's Trees yesterday & at first glance they appeared in ADE & FSX as tiny little trees compared to the default ones - going to play with them a bit to see if I can scale them up.

    Stairways & sloping structure

    Hi, As a relative newbie to FSDS3.5.1 I'm creating a control tower for the airfield I'm designing in ADE. My question is, short of creating bits & rotating them to the correct angle, is there any way to create sloping parts? I'm thinking in particular of the stairway sides and handrails. Many...
