• 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.

    So no cabin lights come on when you press the L key? Can you give a link to a freeware example?

    FSX find bgl concerning an area

    Instant Scenery can display the names of all the library and placement BGL files in the area. As for airport files (AFD - runways, etc.) the ICAO code for the airport is almost always in the file name.

    Convert 'SCASM' scenery item to FS2004 mdl?

    The Hierarchy Editor is a button at the top (or now side?) of the screen. Click it, click the Highlighted button, go through the list on the left until the undesired object turns red (and hopefully nothing else), then click Remove.

    Convert 'SCASM' scenery item to FS2004 mdl?

    I have occasionally encountered such objects- what I do is go to the MCX Hierarchy Editor, find then in the list, and click Remove. Hopefully they have not been combined with other objects by MCX - if so, there is a setting called something like CollapseAll or CollapseParts that can help with...

    P3D v1 Can someone merge an FSX/P3D cockpit to another plane for me?

    Are the starting planes true FSX or later aircraft? If so it is an easy edit of the model.cfg file for P3D. If either are FS9 models, that’s a much larger project.

    FS2004 AI [1] not showing up and [2] takeoff not happening

    Also, make sure that the title= and …variation= lines are unique to that livery.

    Convert 'SCASM' scenery item to FS2004 mdl?

    As Arno says, you can export to two different formats in FS 2004. Make sure you choose the scenery one.

    Is there a limit on the number of Custom GP objects in a particular airport?

    Might be a P3D thing - I’ve never created GPs for that sim.

    Is there a limit on the number of Custom GP objects in a particular airport?

    Try a different choice in the ground polygon box that pops up when you compile the airport. As I remember the default is the top choice, and the second one usually worked for me.

    Latest MCX version.

    I’ve never seen this either. Just because part of the plane is below the reference point, that doesn’t mean it should covered up by the ground plane? Normally that is transparent?

    Runway marker numbers

    Is it 1-19 in the go to airport menu, or only the numbers displayed on the runway surface? If the former, your ADE file is not being read by the sim. Make sure that you have the compiled BGL file in an active scenery, and make sure there are no other BGL files for that airport in a higher...

    P3D v5 Adding KMIA cargo buildings to other airport bgls (P3Dv5)

    Just to let you know, some of those objects are geo locked, and will only display in the area they were originally placed at.

    AIFP installing with a elderly Version

    As a rule, I would avoid installing FS utility programs into any program files folder to avoid possible permission issues. I install into a C:/FS folder.
