• 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.

    Beijing City 2019

    Personally I'm a big fan of these city sceneries. I view them as indispensable for creating an immersive feeling upon approach. Just think: How much fun is it to land at KLGA without DD's New York city scenery? it wouldn't be even 10% of the experience! And so I'm very glad to see development of...

    P3D v5 Germany Photoreal

    Matthias, did particular post sparked my interest. With the recent release of FlyTampa's KLAS, there's been a renewed interest in photoscenery over OrbX's landclass-based scenery with some users, since the desert areas look about a million times better with photoscenery versus the standard...

    P3D v4 Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport KCHA

    Just a small update. Lately I've been working on a second project that I recently started. I like working on many things at the same time, and I decided that to understand PBR texturing I'd rather work on something a little bit simpler. And so I selected a place that's easy and in a continent...

    VOHS-VOBL release will be soon, files uploaded already to avsim

    Wow, these sceneries are amazing! Just came across this thread and the airports you make. Astonishing. Looking forward to whatever comes next!

    P3D v3 Bahrain airports

    That's great Ivar, you're on your way to making something very pretty here! Full custom ground polies for the airport would truly give it that 'payware' feel ;) Given that you've already made some custom markings it seems to me that you know how to make and place them, but if you have any...

    P3D v3 Bahrain airports

    This is great! We've been without a good OBBI for too long. The photoscenery is very nice and seems to be well-annotated with the autogen. Can't wait! I see that you do have a custom ground poly, but only for the markings. Would you consider making custom runways etc as well?

    P3D v4 Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport KCHA

    Thanks for the nice comments, all! That;'s a good idea. It seems to me that most of it should be as per the standards. In the meantime I did get some photographs that specifically show the shapes of the various signs, so I think I should be able to figure it out :)

    P3D v4 Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport KCHA

    So I thought I'd post a small update, to show that this is still in active development. I was working in Substance to get the hang of using that tool and making PBR materials, but I ended up frustrated and so I continued modeling instead. The texturing process will take a while to sort out... I...

    Tried the script and wow! What a difference! Trees everywhere, so dense! Thanks Matthias, this is gold!

    P3D v5 Germany Photoreal

    Thanks Matthias, that's certainly helpful! I'll try it out sometime soon and let you know. I had a feeling it was going to depend on using rectangles vs polygons, and so I did start placing them by hand as rectangles in some areas. But as you can imagine, this was exhausting and so I stopped...

    P3D v5 Germany Photoreal

    Man this looks so nice. One question: how did you get the trees to be so dense? My hand-annotated tree polygons never show trees at such wonderful density. I understand that your autogen is derived automatically, but is there some 'type' of assignment that you use that may be different from what...

    GeoimageProcessor automated processing of water and blendmask files

    This seems like a wonderfully useful tool! One question; do I have to supply a file from fsearthtiles, or can it also be from, for example, SBuilder with an inf files that I wrote myself? It seems like all the inf file is required for is the coordinates of image file?

    P3D v4 Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport KCHA

    Just an update. The last two weeks I've spent on fixing errors in the groundpoly as well as adding some grunge here and there, though there's more work to do on it. I've also been able to get some shots of the gate 1 ramp area, and so was able to update the layout of the parking spots around...

    P3D v4 PBR headache

    Thanks for the helpful comments, Doug. Can you elaborate on the difference between the two? To me the "Masked" function always seemed like a more limited version of the "Translucent" option, in the sense that I can use Translucent for the same purpose one would use "Masked", but not vice versa...

    P3D v4 PBR headache

    I think you may have found the answer, Doug! Rather than render mode "Masked", there is another render mode that looks to be what I might be looking for: Translucent, and it states that this is affected by the albedo alpha. So I think that's the answer, right? If I were to include an alpha mask...

    P3D v4 PBR headache

    I'm pretty confused with all of this, but the above is the thing that I find probably most confusing. It seems that the smoothness channel can be either in the metallic's or the albedo's alpha channel, is this correct? From the SDK documentation: Albedo Map: Contains the base color texture for...

    X-Plane to FSX?

    Well, though I'm by know means an expert on XP, from my brief interaction with it it seems that the format of the scenery in XP is entirely different. So, for it to work with FSX, it would have to be reworked (downgraded, to some extent), and exported withy the FSX SDK's tools to make it...

    P3D v4 Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport KCHA

    Sure yes, would be nice to see how the to sceneries work together. At a later stage I might make some photoreal coverage for it if you're interested? But let me finish the airport first ;) I'll PM you my email.

    P3D v4 Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport KCHA

    Oh nice! Those buildings look good. Are you including any photoscenery for it as well? I don't foresee any issues with my scenery as downtown and the airport are some miles apart. I was thinking including some scenery for downtown - glad you mentioned you are working on that ;)
