• 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.

    Can SBuilder work without an FSX-install?

    Hey guys, Whilst trying to take my mind of the stress of the day I decided to do some lighter modelling of some simple scenery (not trying to get close to the gods of scenery design, who I know are among us with some true magic, just something to keep me busy at night). However, whilst trying...

    P3D v4 Blender export constraints

    Hi all! I am quite sure someone must have discussed this at some point before, but I cannot figure it out at the moment. I'm trying to export a "copy rotation" constraint. The setup includes the front gear door and an empty object. So the door has a local Y-axis that I want to rotate it on...

    Just a thought

    Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've last realistically reported anything back here (real life has been busy for me). I wanted to discuss this idea that has been bouncing around in that vast emptyness that is head. Do we all remember the DC-3 file in the original FSX SDK which we could...

    Some thoughts on AO rendering

    Hey guys, long time since I've actively been able to post anything. Now I've had a terrible feeling of wasting my time today after modelling the engine intake of my JAS39 Gripen project as the whole interior works renders as solid black in blender, making the mesh absolutelly invisible. Now I've...

    Issues exporting skinned mesh object with P3D exporter

    Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with the Blender2P3D exporter when exporting skinned mesh. I followed the tutorial on exporting skinned mesh using the Blender2FSX toolkit and assumed it would be the same as in the Blender2P3d toolkit. Can someone tell me what the issue is? The attached blender...

    Glass material and thickness

    Hi everone, I've been struggling with the idea of making a glass canopy with glass that has an actual thickness. I tried simply using a glass material (as described here: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/fsx-glass-material-realistic-glass.21116/) and making the capony so that it has an...

I thought about this long and hard and can't get my head around this one, the pieces just don't come together for me here so maybe some of you guys can help. What's the issue? The issue I'm facing concerns the tagging...

    Transparent windows a bit too transparent

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to make the glass windscreens and windows in an aircraft I'm modeling and I'm using the recipe for glass provided by Bill in this thread: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/fsx-glass-material-realistic-glass.21116/ It seems however that if I apply the exact...

    MDL Export error with modified scripts

    Hi all, Sorry for this quite common problem/question but I can't seem to figure this one out. I installed blender and the toolset on a PC that does not contain an installation of FSX itself. I therefore combined the knowledge provided in these two threads to get the toolset working: Install...

    SODE: Creation of hood for vertical movement

    Hi all! First of before people start saying I posted this in the wrong section, I very much doubted this problem would be more SODE related then it is GMAX related so I decided to post it here and tag @Jeffrey Stähli to politely ask him to look over this problem and see if there's anything...

    [SOLVED] GMAX Freezing after I hit Create Jetway!

    Hi everyone, I want to start to thank Jeffrey for the beautiful add-on he has given us and after I tried it out with the demo on Grenchen airfield I wanted to use this system on my Düsseldorf scenery as well with a jetway I created in blender. I want to emphasize at this point that my GMAX...

    Material settings work on one aircraft but not on the other?

    I've got a material setting I made on a small plane that worked rather nice, specular settings were good in my opninion. So today I tried the same material settings on a bigger plane and it resulted in nothing, the specularity didn't work and starngly it seemed the diffuse texture for the wings...

    Smooth AO

    So I baked my aircraft model (this is an old bake with little samples but still the idea is the same) but how do I get an actaul smooth one, so without those lines. I understand hose lines are edges, but I'd rather have a smooth one... So how should I go about doing that?

    UV practice

    So tonight Steam decided to let me down... So I thought I'd just go and practice some UV unwrapping on random objects and some basic texturing aswell :) Two simple objects I started with, a dice: and a soda can... Anyone got anymore ideas for objects?

    FSXA Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport (EDHI)

    I'm not certain this is something nice at all but still... It seems to be a trend to just let you guys guess so here goes nothing: I'm only going to give one hint: Germany and A380s.... Not much to go on is it? ;) I'll just see if interest is big enough, seems to be a fun airport but we'll...

    Some times you just "doodle" around a bit

    Some times I thought I would work on some parts for an aircraft I'm working on but then I just take a total different direction and start modelling something random... something I know I can never bring to completion, I would say it's something like 3D doodling, just making something because you...

    Smoothing the border between two objects

    For my A350XWB I noticed the wing object (which also contains the belly) should almost seamlessly border with the fusalage (see the image for reference). Now my problem is that I don't really know how to make these two objects flow into one another like they do on the real aircraft... I'm using...
