• 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.

    P3D v5 Aerospatiale AS350 Ecureuil

    I'm not trying to nitpick here ............... but ............. isn't that panel a bit 'black'? As in 'looking for a black cat in a coal mine with the light off' black, or is it that the panel has not been textured yet and we are seeing the model without any textures applied to it...

    P3D v4 Fuel stat gauge

    That's good to know, I still haven't found a replacement option for the gauge though. :( A colleague from another forum has also run into the same problem with that same gauge in his newly acquired P3D v4.5 too. I wish there was something available somewhere as it was a useful tool back in...

    P3D v4 Fuel stat gauge

    Ahh ok...I wasn't aware that there were 64 bit .gau gauges I thought they were all 32 bit from FS2004 days and earlier.

    P3D v4 Fuel stat gauge

    Back in the days of yore and FS2004 there used to be a brilliant little tool that provided oodles of information on fuel status, quantity, range, time 'till empty, etc., etc., etc. I was part of the SOH Round the World Race team and this tool was a 'must have' on any pop-up panel on any of our...

    Finally, after five years of work, the Aeroproyecto U206F was released

    I feel for you and wish you the best under the circumstances! 👍

    Finally, after five years of work, the Aeroproyecto U206F was released

    It's been almost a year since your last post and I am thinking of buying the U206F for P3D but I was wondering if there has been any progress on the promised amphibious version at all. I do love a nice 'floater' as people who have my freeware LDR Grumman Mallard may know! ;)

    FSX Can you weld co-located vertices in MCX?

    Yeah, I remember the long hours spent trying to get my head around 'smoothing groups'. Once it clicked my models got much better! I guess it may not be fixable unless I use MCX to back-port the model to a .3DS or .max file and do the job properly but that would mean reinstalling my modelling...

    FSX Can you weld co-located vertices in MCX?

    I have an older FSX/P3D payware aircraft that I recently bought and wanted to make some repaints for it but I have run into some issues. It looks like there are polygons/vertices on the knife edge at the rear of the fin and rudder and on polys on the top and bottom of the radome on the nose that...

    Modeling illuminating runway and taxi lights for P3D aircraft

    I think that only illuminates the ground IF the lighting poly is part of the model. If the model does not have that poly nothing will happen. That option just turns on the ability to cast light onto the ground but the model will still need to have the lighting poly in it for the effect to be seen.

    Modeling illuminating runway and taxi lights for P3D aircraft

    That's an interesting way to solve the problem DD. 👍 I don't think MCX is capable of adding the required effect polygon if the aircraft developer did not add it to the model originally, it needs to be compiled with the original model. I don't have P3D v5 as you know Butch but I see no reason...

    Air file parameters

    Do you have automixture turned on in your settings at all? That might play a factor on complex aircraft/helos. Just a thought.

    P3D v4 Autopilot heading issues

    I have come across an oddball issue with an aircraft in P3D v4.5 whereby it simply refuses to accept either a pre-set heading value or to change heading once heading hold is selected. It will only grab the current heading and not change to anything else. If I want to change heading I have to...

    FSX ROTORCRAFT TEXTURES

    From what I can gather SP2 was free whereas Acceleration had to be bought and included extra features. From a Google search I gleaned the following info: Acceleration is an expansion pack that includes all the functionality of Service Pack 2 (SP2) plus additional aircraft, missions, and...

    FSX ROTORCRAFT TEXTURES

    Native FSX aircraft (not port-overs from FS2004/FS9) will work fine in P3D up to version 4.0. After version 4.0 (i.e. v4.5 and beyond) P3D became a 64 bit simulator rather than being a 32 bit simulator like FSX. With v4.5 up to v5.4 most FSX aircraft will still work but you may start to run into...

    FSX ROTORCRAFT TEXTURES

    I DL'd the file, checked for viruses, unpacked it, saw that it was an exe file so checked that for nasties again and then installed to a dummy folder on my desktop to see what went where. It looked like a regular type of install so I moved the files over to my P3D v4.5 install and everything...
