• 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.

    FSX Textures - DDS vs. BMP

    I use dxtbmp. Load the bmp file, flip vertical (or use gimp to do this), and save as dds.

    FSX Error with ModelconverterX 1.70 for FSX

    FS2004 Faulty ILS for VHHH

    If you search the net, many people say that some of the ILS approaches there are offset in real life. I do not have confirmation of that, however.

    How did you create the ramp lights? There are several ways to do it.

    2D panel size in fsx

    When I was creating 2D panels, I would create three bit maps, one for the old monitors, one for 16:10 screens, and one for 16:9 screens. The required three different panel. CFG files.It was certainly a hassle, but I didn’t have a better way to handle the different screen shapes. I have both...

    FSX Here's a tough one.................

    Can’t you just increase the altitude of the bridge when you place it, higher than 0 feet above the ground? And 0 ft AMSL is on the water, unless you placed the bridge’s reference point well below the bridge when you built it.

    altimeter drums not working, help?

    The variable I used for the altimeter was (A:Indicated Altitude, feet)

    altimeter drums not working, help?

    The number should be placed in single digits for each portion of the code. 1,2,3,4.

    altimeter drums not working, help?

    You are not putting the 12345 numbers at the end of the code. They must go right before the less than symbol of the </code>.

    FSX Here's a tough one.................

    Just my experience, but pitch never seemed to work for me in FSX. Worked fine in FS 2004 and P3 D though.

    FS2004 OMDW - Dubai World Central build - world's biggest

    No, it will not. It simply puts the X on the surface. To block AI aircraft from using a taxi way, make a break in the taxiway and overlap the ends slightly.

    FS2004 OMDW - Dubai World Central build - world's biggest

    Those generic tanks are terrible. They don’t show up sometimes, they collapse when you move away from them. I just avoid using them.

    What is MCX

    Most people are either using blender or sketchup, these days.

    If your FSX installation is not in the registry, then it just won’t work.

    FS2004 VerticalAdjust Not Working in XML FormattedText Elements

    The text is going to be put at the X/Y position you specify in the position statement, no matter what you set in the vertical adjustment line. The gauge has no way of knowing where the top and bottom of that box is. I presume there are more sophisticated drawing (or text?) commands that would...

    P3D v4 P8 Compass Anomalies

    Or go with the original non-linearity values and remove the final - sign from the value statement?
