• 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.

    MSFS24 Approach lights over water How get rid off

    The easiest way: Ask the author of the freeware scenery to fix it. There are only approach lights for rwy 34 on ESNN... Alternatively you can make an addon where you remove the lights and then be sure to make MSFS2024 load that new addon after the original freeware scenery (might work, but not...

    How do I create and add a material image which has transparency

    Just make a quick Google search for images using "open sign" as search words and you will find several suitable versions that can be used as a basis for your sign... There's no huge ski jump in Helsinki - the closest is in Lahti. And the Helsinki Olympics were the summer Olympics in 1952 so no...

    How do I create and add a material image which has transparency

    The decal type is mainly for placing textures on planes in front of other textured objects (like decals on a window). Yes, I live just west of Helsinki. We currently have about -2°C and some 15-20cm snow on the ground. Buildings with turf on the roof are not common here. I think you can find...

    How do I create and add a material image which has transparency

    Not difficult: Make a texture with the look of the Open sign. Make a box or other suitable 3D object for the sign in the correct place make a MSFS Standard material and open the texture in the Base Color. Make a second texture as a copy of the first one (must be exactly the same size), but make...

    How do I create and add a material image which has transparency

    That looks very good! The fence could very well also be made as a real 3D fence. 3000 faces is not much, and it looks better (from close distance) than just the flat, textured plane... But then, of course, if it is in a place where not many people see it close up, then the plane is good enough...

    How do I create and add a material image which has transparency

    Click on New to make a new material. Give it any name. Then You will have the MSFS Material Params tab available. Select the Standard type and scroll down - there are the boxes where you can select your textures for Base color, O/R/M and Normals. Open the png file in the Base Color box (and the...

    How do I create and add a material image which has transparency

    You need a png image file where the transparent parts are fully transparent. (Jpg or bmp do not have the alpha channel for transparency). Then apply a MSFS Standard material to your plane with that image as Base Color. Set Alpha mode to Blend. You can use an Occlusion/Roughness/Metallic and a...

    MSFS24 Custom MSFS2020 fuel truck missing in MSFS2024

    Unbelievable. I removed (using Addons Linker) all addons except my own add-ons. Everything works. Then adding groups of addons and restarting the sim after every change until I had ALL my addons active. Several hours. Everything works. Now I am back at the add-on configuration I had previously...

    MSFS24 Custom MSFS2020 fuel truck missing in MSFS2024

    Confirmed! Some other third-party add-on completely disables fuel truck services!!! The custom fuel truck at EFHF and the default fuel trucks used in my EFTU and EFTP sceneries work perfectly when only my own sceneries are in the community folder. Now I just have to find the culprit.... Thank...

    MSFS24 Custom MSFS2020 fuel truck missing in MSFS2024

    Note my edit above! There is a updated version of EFHF in the works and will be published as soon as I solve the fuel truck problem.

    MSFS24 Custom MSFS2020 fuel truck missing in MSFS2024

    This is not Malmö!!! It is the historical Helsinki-Malmi (EFHF). And yes, exactly, the model is not spawning at the location (the only vehicle parking) where it should be and where it spawns in MSFS2020. No model, nothing to call, nothing to wait for as it can not be called. There are no other...

    As I said - the truck is completely missing and does not work in MSFS2024. It just isn't there... I know exactly how to call it, but as there is no truck then there is no possibility to call it...

    MSFS24 Custom MSFS2020 fuel truck missing in MSFS2024

    Hi, Yes, thanks, I have indeed seen that but it has absolutely nothing to do with my problem. As I said, my fuel truck is custom made and part of the scenery, it has no default objects in it. Hand made in Blender by myself. All the necessary cfg and xml parts are there and it works perfectly in...

    MSFS24 Custom MSFS2020 fuel truck missing in MSFS2024

    In my MSFS2020 EFHF scenery I have a custom-made small fuel truck. It works perfectly in MSFS2020. It can be called from the ground services an will arrive and open the fueling screen and can be sent back to its original position. When I load this scenery in MSFS2024 everything else is ok, but...
