• 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.

    Specialized forum for OPT?

    Hi to all. Is there a special forum - or a sub one - to deal with OPT? I have detected some very strange behaviors from this very powerful tool: ghost scenery objects appearing hundreds of feet above the object actually placed (fuel station, control tower), buildings place with ADE which...

    OPT - object won't move ? - Workaround

    Trying it like described twice above, my control tower still did not bulge but I did get a runtime error R 6025 about a call to a pure virtual function and FSX aborted. So, yes, there is a bug in the slew-OPT interaction. Regards. Yves-

    FSX FSX Entering Slew when Object Placment Tool is Opened.

    Hi Paul, Thanks for taking the trouble. I did find the "solution" yesterday, totally unexpected and certainly very common: the turn right and turn left slew actions (keyboard numerical keys 1 and 3) were mapped to the X-axis, that of the propeller pitch. You were actually quite close :) So many...

    FSX FSX Entering Slew when Object Placment Tool is Opened.

    What about the endless, unstoppable turning to the left? Slew on opening seems a good idea, but nothing stops the spinning. the numeric pad #5 does not stop it, but writes a lot of 5s in the field where the cursor is placed. This refers to FSX only, no Acceleration. Any clue?

    Weather Request sample produces an odd METAR string

    Hello Ed and DragonFly: the syntax seems to be a little finicky with the " " between elements but eventually, it can be figured out. The mickmack about the units -particularly with respect to altitudes- can be quite confusing and the SDK doc does not give an answer to everything. But then...
