• 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 Considering Resurrecting ProjectAI

    Thanks so much Tim. I'd love to talk with John for sure. After my forays into extracting data in ai.cfg and aircraft.cfg yesterday we could easily build the database/spreadsheet of what's been done before in terms of parking code etc, with permission of the MAIW team of course. Are the MSFS...

    MSFS20 ai.cfg and landingFlare

    Has anyone had a look at adjusting the landingFlare values in the ai.cfg files? I believe the default is -1 if the flag isn't set. The SDK has very minimal info: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/SimObjects/Aircraft_SimO/AI_Config_Definition.htm#landing It seems...

    How to Remove Road Traffic Generated by Asobo ?

    Just wondering if that removes larger sections of roads, I remember FS2004/FSX removing roads meant a whole ton of connected roads disappeared. Curious if MSFS has a better system :)

    MSFS20 FSX style BGL Touch n Go Schedules for MSFS

    Early test of touch 'n' Go's at YAMB. Been doing more work lately and looking at getting up to speed with ai.cfg and flaring on landing. Getting weirdness with the taxi line as well in a few things as the Tomahawks wander off centerline. Again trying to work with the ai.cfg to fix that issue.

    MSFS20 Considering Resurrecting ProjectAI

    UPDATE: I've been having far too much fun with this stuff. gathering databases etc. This morning I was trying to rework the Just Flight Piper Tomahawk's taxi behavior for personal use as it often goes off the rails along with the default Asobo C152, so I started tweaking the ai.cfg's but then...

    MSFS20 Project YBAF - Archerfield Airport, Brisbane Australia

    After 35 years of dreaming for YBAF in MSFS, waiting for FS to finally have YBAF (I think it finally arrived in FS2002/2004 but it was bad), and FSX was a bit better and MSFS, plausible but just not accurate enough. If anyone knows or has flown out of YBAF or learned to fly knows there are a...

    MSFS20 [GUIDE] Creating Livery Packages for MSFS

    So does auto_json just build all the layout.json's in subdirectories? If so very cool. MSFSLayoutGenerator is easy, no need for console, just drag your layout.json (even a blank one) onto the program and it updates the layout.json

    MSFS20 MSFS default windsock not lighted?

    Thanks so much, yeah I was looking at the SDK example project yesterday, looks easy enough to tweak the GLTF file but I think I'll just attach some light fx points to the model and let it light the sock dynamically. I need to make up some white and yellow aussie style windsocks so I will have a...

    [SOLVED] LODs - trying to set the minSize but it always using default values

    Thanks for this thread, I had text on gable markers I needed to keep displayed from 1 pixel. I set my LOD's to 1, 0.1, 0 and it works perfectly for small objects.

    MSFS20 MSFS default windsock not lighted?

    So I just turned on the lighted flag for the default asobo MSFS windsock: <Windsock poleHeight="4.572000" sockLength="2.743200" lighted="TRUE" containerTitle="Windsock"/> Checked in sim and there's no lighting, I'm assuming the default windsock has not been modeled with emissive...

    MSFS20 legacy imported traffic not working with AIFP.

    The yellow bands are an AIFP setting under Options -> "Enable Alternate Line Colors" make sure to turn the checkmark off :D Also your flight plans are working, MSFS has had an issue since one of the sim updates where the offline AI scheduling is broken, it's pulling time from the computer...

    MSFS20 Considering Resurrecting ProjectAI

    If you want to convert old flightplans to MSFS, definitely can do and would be happy to assist. I did that for Ansett, found the old FS9 schedule from PAI on the Wayback Machine and brought it in to AIFP3 and ported stuff over. I've been thinking of doing up Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's Trans...

    MSFS20 Considering Resurrecting ProjectAI

    I can probably reach out to MAIW as I looked at their site and they seemed overwhelmed. The models should all convert pretty easily with some of the tools available. Albeit sans PBR textures initially. That’s probably not even necessary so much as we can make flyable aircraft AI in MSFS without...

    P3D v4 lat long coordinates

    If you’re talking about development you can use any of the 3 formats in my last post in your xml/inf files. I always used fractional because it was easiest to deal with.

    MSFS20 MSFS Airline Parking Codes

    Back in the day FS2004, FSX, P3D at Project AI and other AI groups we all used the ICAO codes for airline parking. Back then the limit for the "airlineCodes=" entry was limited to 4 characters per airline code... Our work around for stuff like QANTAS and other airline regional feeders was to...

    P3D v4 lat long coordinates

    in your P3D.cfg file to have it display in decimal format. Is it still shift+z to pull up the on screen info like in FSX? [Main] LatLonFormat=Degrees FractionalLatLonDigits=6 ---------- Here are some options for the "Main" section of the p3d.cfg/fsx.cfg (could be named prepar3d.cfg) file...

Airline ICAO Codes for Parking - The first tab "ICAO Airline Codes" is just the values as of 2024/07/19, the second tab "Wikipedia Live" is the live list from Wikipedia To Do: ICAO Aircraft Code List Develop...

    P3D v4 lat long coordinates

    like the display for the lat/lon in sim or for development? There is a way based off FSX but I forget which file it holds stuff in to display fractional lat/lon (i.e. W84.12345678 etc) . I'd have to see if I still have access to the FSX beta newsgroup backup I made, or can track it down. If...

    MSFS20 MSFS Airport Extractor Beta 0.1 - A Little Program to Extract an Airport for Fixing

    Oh I forgot about that aspect, thanks for the heads up, does it prompt to download and install it or should I give a link to the runtime download?
