• 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.

    afcad textures

    Thanks scruffyduck for pointing me in the right direction!! AFCAD wouldn't accept a Runway width of "0". But a setting of just "1" foot did the trick. Now the runway is totally invisible. But as far as FS9 is concerned, the runway is still 8,000 feet long. Skiperoo:)

    afcad textures

    I'll give that a try, and see what happens. Thanks, Skiperoo

    afcad textures

    I've done that, but still a semi-transparant texture appears. It is brownish in color. You can see the ocean beneath the runway. There are 3 "Unknown" textures listed in the selection menu within AFCAD2. And each one is semi-transparant. Or not fully transparant. Skiperoo:confused:

    afcad textures

    AFCAD Runway Textures I've created an aircraft carrier scenery that includes "AI" aircraft taking off and landing on it's flight deck. It seems that in order for the "AI" planes to work properly, I had to make the AFCAD runway 8000 feet in length. The "AI" planes are taking off and landing...

    FSDS3 to FSX GMAX

    I had considered using CVA, but found out that using the conversion process first through FS2XPlane then importing into AC3D, and exporting from there into FSX-Gmax would in large part preserve the texture mapping. However, it is not as easy as it sounds. I had heard of this being done...

    Wires and Cables in FSX-Gmax

    This is good news Thanks Felix. I'm a newbe with Gmax. Although I have been very comfortable with modeling in FSDS, I have now found myself in a position where it is necessary to learn something about using FSX-Gmax. The FSDS3 model I am working on has to go thru Gmax for it to work properly...

    Wires and Cables in FSX-Gmax

    With FSDS2 one could make wires and cables. That seemed to go away with FSDS3. I have managed to import my FSDS3 project into Gmax. Can someone tell me if it's possible to make wires and cables for my model in Gmax. And if so, the basic procedure to follow. Thanks:confused:

    FSDS3 to FSX GMAX

    Am attempting to convert an FSDS3 model for use in FSX, via FS2XPLANE, AC3D and then FSX-GMAX. I know that my FSDS3 model will work if I just drop it directly into FSX. But I want to take the long way around and go through these conversion programs to get my model into FSX anyway. Sounds nuts...

    Tweak The Model

    I recently designed a ship for FS9, "USS CONYNGHAM DDG-17". In the real world fast warships tend to lean or list to one side when making a turn. I don't know if it's possible to recreate this in FS, with an object in the water. Modify the aircraft.cfg maybe? Any ideas would be greatly...

    FSDS3 for FS X ?

    See Thru Textures I tried my FSDS3 ship model "USS Conyngham DDG-17" in the Demo version of FSX. Everything worked, except most all the textures were semi-transparent. Like having 3-D vision, you can see inside everything. Hopefully that issue will be resolved in the full release of FSX.:eek:

    FSDS3 Makemdl Error

    asm file Well, I was able to solve the problem by converting all the model textures to 16 bit, vice 24 bit. And everything worked just fine. That was some days back. Now, FSDS3 is doing it again. I checked the textures, and found out that somehow they are all now 32 bit. Not good. And, I...

    FSDS3 Makemdl Error

    :) Hi arno, Thanks for the reply. I tried uploading the file. But an error message came up that said, "the size of the file exceeded my quota." I'll try sending it to you via regular email.

    FSDS3 Makemdl Error

    :confused: I recently upgraded to FSDS3 from FSDS2. In FSDS2, I created a model of a U.S. Navy Destroyer that one is able to sail around on the ocean in FS2004. And it worked. However, after upgrading to FSDS3 I continued to work on that ship model. But when I tried to creat an "FS Object...
