• 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.

    Unable to Complie Simobjects After SU6: Error "Could Not Open File"

    Hi all, I've been struggling with a issue where all the simobjects have failed to compile. All these simobjects compiled perfectly fine before Sim Update 6. But after the update nothing seem to work anymore. This is not limited to my custom models, as some of the Asobo stock simobjects also...

    MSFS Satelite Imagery in MSFS: Does it update over time with Bing Maps?

    Thanks to both of these advices. That painting method to cover up the cloud sounds like a very good approach, I will give it a shot. Since we are doing a payware project, we are gonna need some commercially usable imagery anyways, but not having to use actual satelite imagery to cover up that...

    MSFS Satelite Imagery in MSFS: Does it update over time with Bing Maps?

    Hi fabs, Thanks for the info. I think the chances of getting an World Update China is very low unfortunately. I could buy some lower res satelite imagery to cover up that ugly cloud, but the minimum area of ordering is usually 250km^2, so it's not really worth it. I don't want that cloud to turn...

    MSFS Satelite Imagery in MSFS: Does it update over time with Bing Maps?

    Hi all, I was working on ZSHC for MSFS, but unfortunately the stock imagery is quite bad. There is a giant area of cloud just east of the airport, ruining immersion. It's gonna cost a lot to buy the satelite imagery for the airport alone, so I've been waiting for bing maps to update their data...

    MSFS Animated Ground Traffic - PathFollow Animation Object

    Hi, From what I understand here, you created a path in 3dsmax to animate the ground vehicle, but is it possible to achieve a similar result with Living World? I tried making an animated ground vehicle in Blender, and the animation itself works fine in sim. But when I try to use Living World to...

    Here's a tip for those who don't know! ( A way of Importing Orthoimagery into Blender for accurate scaling).

    This is the method I've been using. It's might not be the most accurate, but it's good enough for making secondary building.

    MSFS Texture Distortion when Importing into MSFS

    Thanks! I think I've solved the issue. The topology in that area was kinda bad. So I fixed it, giving it a nice flow. Like this: Then I just used normal unwrap, and the distortion disappeared: The issue is totally related with topology. For example, I still get some small distortion in this...

    MSFS Texture Distortion when Importing into MSFS

    This time, I remade the roof, and unwarpped it without using smart uv projection. The distortion definitely mitigated, however you can still see some minor distortion, as shown in this pic: For reference, this is my UV layout. The stripes on the left are the edges.

    MSFS Texture Distortion when Importing into MSFS

    I checked the compiled textures, they look good to me. But I will experiment with another texture.

    MSFS Animated flag duplicated since MSFS update

    That's weird. I'll maybe check my flags later. I haven't updated to the lastest SDK yet, but I did update the sim itself.

    MSFS Texture Distortion when Importing into MSFS

    That's strange. I don't have any n-gons in Blender (I just checked with "face by sides").

    MSFS Texture Distortion when Importing into MSFS

    Because LuisB suggested that the distortion might be the result of difference in triangulation between Blender and Substance Painter, so I tried using the mesh triangulated by Substance.
