• 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.

    Dick, you are wrong

    Answer to dick: I altered those things which I understand. I did not touch the original text meaning. So I did not touch the part which I do not understand yet. The problem is that the author of the article cannot alter the text properly, when he did write such unclear article. So from my...

    Reading of bgl (programming)

    What format do I need to study to read bgl to export/import ground textures for ortophoto scenery? Do I need to use this header? http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Format_of_the_Cvx_BGL_Files I guess yes, but I need to be 100% sure because I am not interested about Cvx data but...

    source codes to work with bgl (C)

    Is there any open source program which would have algorithms to decode and encode bgl? I mean something like resample.exe, but I would like either integrate it into my program as a library or just to use that program. I think the resample.exe weak point is that when you want create bgl it needs...

    resample and resolution

    I am interested how resample works. If I have imagery dimension of 4096x4096 is it possible to change resolution for the target images which are compressed in bgl? Now a speculation. If there would not be possible to change resolution, then I would need to size down the image. And in this...

    resample and "separating LODS"

    This topic simply continues from previous post called "How to crop image before resample". Explanation of the topic: I will not do export of LODs to separate files, because that would generate thousands of files. I just will covert files by ImageMagick to resize them and join them as I need...

    map2bgl cache folder

    Is it possible to set map2bgl cache folder to different drive? There are three folders and the best way would be if I could place bgl cache on one drive, temp on second drive and TilesCache on third drive. Is it posible to do? Configurate maps.ini or some registry item? Or maybe hack?
