• 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 MSFS SimConnect status vs P3D SimConnect

    There might be some hope on the horizon. REX Studios just released a weather injector for MSFS. They aren't revealing how they did this but it does use SimConnect. Most likely they located the weather SimConnect functions that are not exposed in the present MSFS SDK. This approach if in fact...

    Default gas station impossible to delete.

    In the SDK it's a parking spot of type "FUEL"

    Default gas station impossible to delete.

    Is this the same problem that another user just asked about? https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/exclude-refuelling-stations.449307/ Sorry, I thought that you meant the autogen petrol/gas stations for cars that scattered throughout the game. If you mean the equipment that accompanies the...

    MSFS20 Scenery Conflicts with modellib and scenery BGLs

    I could be wrong on this, but you can control scenery priorities in MSFS. In the folder: <drive>:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-1205754744-1098576635-1961144884-1003\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache you will find a file content.xml that determines the scenery...

    MSFS20 FSDT Key West (KEYW)

    Now that defines the term LOD!

    MSFS20 glTF support for ModelConverterX

    Yep same here. After Arno suggested PNG, I never used anything else.

    Default gas station impossible to delete.

    If you look in your project folder, the list of properties for your airport's polygons are found in: <Polygon name>.xml <Polygon Name>.shp can be viewed in either ARCGIS or any app that imports ESRI files. My version of Excel reads DBF files, so I don't bother looking at the actual polygon in...

    Default gas station impossible to delete.

    I assume that you do mean polygon and not exclusion rectangle. What are your settings on the polygon? I do know that exclusion rectangles don't work. They appear to be broken ATM.

    Unable to open shapefile ERROR

    I'm guessing here but it looks like you saved either your airport background or some other polygon to your Windows desktop and then deleted it by accident. You should always save project polygons to a project sources subfolder under the main project folder. Check your project definition files...

    MSFS20 Red and White Runway Numbers

    Keep in mind that you still need a hold short taxiway point without its line (no draw), else ATC won't tell anyone to hold. Painted lines are just decorative.

    MSFS20 Red and White Runway Numbers

    Lol you've discovered something funny about marked painted hold short lines. First let's fix it. Click the line and grab each of the endpoints so that the line is parallel to the existing hold short line and spans the entire width of the taxiway. It appears that your line is somehow either very...

    MSFS20 Red and White Runway Numbers

    Post a screenshot of the taxiway with the SDK scenery editor and the property window open for the painted line you used. The hold short backward and forward marked painted lines do work for me.

    ATC frequence

    The MSFS SDK is presently incomplete, so you have to enter the XML manually. If it an airport in FSX, you can open it, compile it with the XML option enabled. Then use a text editor to open the XML file created by ADE, copy the equivalent of this section: <Com frequency="120.3500"...

    MSFS20 Little NavMap

    It also now works correctly with the MSFS Navigraph AIRAC 2010, which is revision 11.

    Wow! I knew someone here would figure this out. Thanks.

    MSFS20 WeatherSetObservation() does it work?

    REX Simulations just announced that they are working in a weather add-on for MSFS which does not rely on the SDK. So maybe you shouldn't give up so quickly. My guess is their approach is to hack into the sim in some fashion. I give REX points for trying but I'm betting that it will be a lot...

    MSFS20 Into the Unknown [SOLVED]

    Thanks. I recompiled with the packager and the names came back in the sim. I wonder if every time that the GUID list is expanded via a patch, that the user objects lose their names until the project is recompiled. Anyway this can be marked as solved.

    MSFS20 AIFP for MSFS

    Don, What's been figured out is that the format of the offline AI Traffic files (Asobo's category that matches up against FSX AI traffic) is identical to the FSX BGL format. So technically, AIFP would work, but of course it can't find the MSFS aircraft. I got around this by compiling an AIG...

    MSFS20 Into the Unknown [SOLVED]

    MSFS just updated to patch #2. I went to edit my test airport and in the Scenery Editor, all my objects are now listed as "Unknown" rather than their names like "Hanger 1", "Parking", "Terminal", etc. The objects display correctly in the Scenery Editor and the project compiles okay also. The...

    Control UV mapping of apron textures in MSFS

    I've also experimented with the apron and polygon settings and there must be a trick to getting it to work. I gave up until someone posts how to do it correctly and just created ground polygons in Blender.
