• 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.

    Error Message when Exporting a bgl in Gmax

    I have never seen a 24 bit BMP be offset like that. So I do not know what’s going on. Have you loaded that texture into a program like DXTBMP to see if it really is a 24 bit image?

    modelconverterx messing up my animations, help?

    My NAV lights do not light up the ground, so I can’t help you there. As far as I know, any lights based on the default effects listed in the aircraft.cfg file will not light up the ground. The way to get beams shining on the ground is to use the fx_landing effect. Here is how to set that up...

    Error Message when Exporting a bgl in Gmax

    No symbols are allowed in the path, other than the dash and the underline. Also, the file name cannot start with a number. No spaces allowed. This is a limitation in the make MDL program.

    Try removing any spaces in the names in your path?

    FSXA How to remove this

    As you can see from my photo, the lights are on when installed on my computer as well.

    FSXA How to remove this

    I compiled your AD4 file and placed it into my FSX SP2. I went to the coordinates you posted above and there is nothing there. My scenery and autogen settings are Extremely Dense. Thus I assume those objects are being added by some addon scenery you have installed. Are you using ORBX...

    FSXA How to remove this

    An exclusion rectangle using exclude all should take care of it, as long as it’s in a layer in the scenery library above where those objects are coming from.

    FSX Cant export mdl file ! Model converterX error

    There appears to be some unusual characters around the word community in the path. You may not have any characters, other than letters, numbers, spaces, and the dash symbol. Export the file to a folder in your root folder, something like C:/GMAX

    About Gmax For FS2002

    Just emphasize Gary‘s comments, the model converter X ground polygon wizard accepts MDL files, so you can use the FS 2004 GMAX game pack. If you’re targeting FS 2002, I would choose FS 2004 as your choice in that dialogue box, since I believe that those ground polygons are identical.

    MCX airstair export problem, help?

    I’ve never seen two PartInfo entries with the same name before, I don’t know if that’s legal. Try combining them into one entry?

    Gate Parking With Letters

    Sounds like a good workaround to me.

    FSXA How to do this.

    Is that texture listed as the emissive texture in that texture’s material? Check the spelling and make sure there’s no path included in the file name.

    AI flight sliding off runway on takeoff.

    I often find that skittish aircraft have MOI values set too low in the aircraft.cfg file. Look at similar planes that work well as a start.

    FSXA Is this correct procedure?

    On my night textures the walls are extremely dark, otherwise they light up too brightly as you see.

    P3D v4 brake effectiveness

    To change the braking effect you edit this line in the aircraft.cfg file: toe_brakes_scale = 0.885 //Brake scalar For steering you can change the maximum steering angle: //0 Class <0=none,1=wheel, 2=scrape, 4=float> //1 Longitudinal Position...

    FSXA Is this correct procedure?

    For scenery using LM textures, you need to color them as you would see them at night, with lit up windows if desired. At night, the LM texture will completely replace the day texture. At dusk and dawn, the two textures will be blended.

    Gate Parking With Letters

    No. All those things are hard coded in FS.
