• 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.

    P3D 4.2 - Grass as autogen

    Hey, Just read the log of the new update, and saw this: "For developers, we have introduced the ability to add autogen grass on airport backgrounds". I bet this will be good for performance. Interested on how to do it though...

    Cabin crew gauge for P3D V4

    Hi, One of the things that I miss the most in V4 is the Flightdeck SDX Panel, that was first created to FS2004, but worked on FSX and V3. (To those who don't know) It seems to be very simple, a .BMP panel in which you click and plays a sound that is placed on a specific folder. Now, I know...

    Problem using MCx

    Hi, I've been using MCx for a long time, but due to problems with my hardware, I had to reset Windows 10. Now I can't get MCx to work... This is the problem: I tried getting the files in the options from v4 and from fsx, none work. Tried installing directx 9, nothing. I honestly don't know...

    Buy satellite image

    Hey, I'm afraid we can't distribute scenery containing google's image, or image obtained from sbuilder, right? So If I'm looking to distribute it I need to buy it. Have been looking online to buy it, but can't find anything...

    Draw distance for .bgl

    Hi, I don't understand much about this part of scenery development yet, so don't judge me... I've been using SimDirector to place some buildings on my scenery, like autogen. Find it very easy to use. I guess there's a problem about using this: As you can see, my improvised autogen is loading...

    Different aerial tiles on same location

    Hi, I was creating my photoreal image and noticed the different colors: This is the api google server, basically there's a mix of updated image with "old" one. I tried using googleserver.dll but only white appears in the background. Do you guys have any fix for this, except for the one...

    P3D v4 Exported not showing in the SIM

    Hi, I've been doing ground polygons with GP Wizard and I always chose FSX. Now that I want specular to appear on the ground in V4, I have to select the option P3D V4.

    Hi, I want to create something like this on my asphalt textures: The sun reflection on the runway... I believe this is Specular Mapping, right? Could you guys give me an example of how the Specular texture would be in this case? And It had to be applied through MCx, in the asphalt texture...

    Prepar3d V4 SDK Performance

    Hi, I think I haven't seen any threads talking about this, so this is a conversation thread, exchange of ideas. I read somewhere, I believe by a PMDG staff, that even sceneries, If not exported with V4 SDK Tools, will not have the best performance possible. Is this true? A scenery made for V3...

    Dark Textures during dawn and sunset

    Hi, I used 1024x1024px textures to create a photoreal polygon to get the highest quality as possible near the runway. Underneath I've created a photoreal with Sbuilder, with the resample process. Everything is great, except when the sunrise or sunset time approaches. The 1024px textures get...

    White Lines on the ground

    Hey, I was very advanced in my scenery development. I left the alphas of the ground photoreal for the end. Once I applied them to the 1024px textures I got some white lines between the textures that are supposed not to appear. The lines do not appear where there's photoreal image, only where...

    Photoreal image

    Hey guys. I want to do all of my region, and the only way I know is through SBuilderX, (http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?250762-How-to-create-photoreal-scenery-for-FSX). I want to do it with a nice resolution, that means that I have to do less size, more times. I have to do one...

    Question about FS2002 Gamepack

    Hi guys, I've been creating simple home sceneries for a couple of months, and I use the P3D Plugin for 3ds Max. I create the image with 1024 satellite tiles, and I have to UNWRAP UVW like 6 Pixels inboard. And even doing this, when I'm distant from the airport I can see some lines in the...

    Is there a way to get for SBuilder from Apple Maps

    Hi. I'm trying to make my own airport, and I've checked Google tiles, "yahoo" and Apple's, and the one with better definition is the one from Apple. But I think there is no .dll to get the tiles from Apple, like there is GoogleServer.dll. Am I wrong? Is there a way to get tiles from Apple Maps?

    Photoreal images from 3d Google?

    Hi. Do you know the new thing of google, where you have everything in 3D. The terrain is absolutely amazing while the 3d is on, if you turn the 3d option off, it gets worse quality. So my question is: Is it possible to take an image from that 3d option, with Sbuilder for example...

    Add new sound to NGX

    Hi, I'd like to add a new sound to the NGX. I already have the .wav file, and I want it to start as soon as the engine sound is on max, to add more power to the take-off. How can I do that? I tried on Sony Vegas to Render both in one, but it doesn't have the same effect.
