• 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.

    MSFS20 Project YBAF - Archerfield Airport, Brisbane Australia

    Yesterday and today built entirely new gable markers from scratch. My first ever 3D modeling project by hand from scratch. Everything to real world dimension and as close to real life curves as possible. Next stage Substance Painter to apply materials, occlusion, roughness, metal, normal...

    FSXA Need Airfield Gable Markers

    Hey Ian, I know this is a few years late but I have been thinking about this for the last 20 years. I finally got to YSPT yesterday and got reference photos close up of the most common gable markers used in Australia and finally made my first from scratch model in blender after decades of...

    MSFS20 Project YBAF - Archerfield Airport, Brisbane Australia

    Okay so I wasn't happy with hacking together something from inside MSFS, plus as a pilot I'm a stickler for real world accuracy, I want it to be a digital twin of real life... So two days ago I got up close and personal with brand new gable markers at YSPT and got some measurements and...

    MSFS20 Considering Resurrecting ProjectAI

    Thanks for the corrections Kai. Airports for MSFS probably needs to wait until World Hub is sorted out. Seems it’s all on hold until MSFS 2024? Would love to talk with you more as I have stuff I designed when working on Flight Simulator World and drew up game design documents which ended up...

    MSFS20 Decoding MSFS CGL Formats

    Work in Progress... So I'm doing a dive into MSFS internals and finally taking a look at a few things and discovered some things that don't seem to have been discussed as yet (some have but I'm building a master list). There are several types of sub-formats: bldn133 - Autogen Building Data...

    Looking for Guidance in porting a XML Gauge to C++ (PAID)

    I’ve been totally blown away by Claude this last week. It generates windows power tools scripts perfectly. I’ve been working with it all day (subscription version) and pulled 4000 lines of information from every aircraft I have installed. I need to test it on porting my old Visual Basic program...

    Looking for Guidance in porting a XML Gauge to C++ (PAID)

    Which sim platform are you targeting? Your best bet will likely be using claude.ai 3.5 Sonnet to do the conversion. I dropped in an FSX XML fuel gauge sample and while I've not dealt with gauges before claude is very robust on the programming side. Others may need to verify if this is correct...

    MSFS20 Modern FS History... What's happened since FSX...

    So I had been involved in several simulator development teams since FS11 was shut down, and was on the FS11 design advisory board (as a few others here were). First there was a group with Flight1 and Aerosoft that were in discussions on building a new sim. Aerosoft went their own way from...

    Exploring AI in Game Development: Game-Changer or Overhyped?

    Revisiting this, the advancements in AI this year to date have been phenomenal. ClaudeAI is extremely good with coding, way better than ChatGPT. I've now generated numerous mini programs or scripts to do stuff like parse folders and extract certain data etc. So much so that I'm working on a...

    MSFS20 Decoding FSX AI Traffic Code Internals - (still hooked in for MSFS)

    So I worked with a major flight simulator developer who was porting FSX code to 64 bit for a simulator that preceded MSFS (and where a lot of updated FSX code was sent over to Asobo). With AI Traffic in the FSX code there is support for pathing data for more complicated waypoints rather than...

    MSFS20 ProjectAI Toolkit & PAI General News

    So I started work today on both a PC and Mac program to process data that I will be using to build a new ProjectAI back end for aircraft scheduling for AI systems. I need to work on game design documents behind the scenes to map out functionality, but the back end will be able to feed an entire...

    SDK Help, scenery not building!!!

    it looks like there's a rogue jetway near line 7631. I'd open the XML in a text reader or visual studio, look around line 7631, delete that jetway and see if that fixes things. Remember to back up the xml file before editing it by hand. I'd also use a text comparison tool and compare the...

    Time to Retire

    Hi Jon, Your work has been nothing short of a godsend since Lee Swordy left the FS community and AFCAD became abandoned. Your tireless efforts in providing us with the same toolset through ADE have truly shaped Flight Simulator into what it is today. I wanted to reach out to see if you might...
