• 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.

    Hi Arno - trying to access the latest MCX and I've been getting a 504 at the site for the last hour and a half.

    P3D v5 Attached Object Editor - Dynamic Lights

    Is there any way of editing the strength of an already-applied dynamic light effect? When I use the editor to create a light effect, I get a comprehensive menu to determine all the characteristics of that light. However, if (as in this case) I discover that I've made the light too strong...

    P3D v5 Blender 4.0 - can no longer add single verts using CTRL-RMB

    I'm fairly new to Blender (trying to wean myself off SketchUp) and I'm following Bill Womack's tutorials to teach myself how to use it. I'm using Blender 4.0 which adds a little complication as Bill's tutorials are done in 2.79, but I'm doing other tutorials which do need a recent version so I...

    Don Grovestine

    It would appear that Don has lost the battle he's been fighting for some time. I'm not qualified to list his contributions to the flight sim community, but I know they are huge. He is a great loss. RIP. My thanks to Firebird at MAIW for bringing this to my notice...

    SketchUp Anyone still using SketchUp?

    I've still not got my head around Blender, though I keep persevering. However, I still find that SketchUp Make 2017 can produce excellent results if you're prepared to put the work in. I haven't yet tried to port my work to MSFS, but I think I should as these renders (from Twilight) give a idea...

    DAE import issue

    This is a scenery model created in SketchUp. Other models in the same project import to MCX just fine, so why this one has a problem I have no idea! This is the message: 15:45 AssimpReader Error Error importing file: Collada: F:\Military AI Works\USA Projects\KNIP Navy Jax\TJC DAE...

    P3D v5 V5.3HF2 some libraries not displaying, CVX fails to This behaviour

    I develop freeware airfield sceneries for MAIW. Scince installing 5.3HF2 I’ve noticed that some scenery libraries only partially display. That is, some objects from the library display perfectly, others don’t appear at all. All models are to P3Dv4.4 format; all textures DDS5. At the same...

    P3D v4 ETNA RAF Ahlhorn 1950s

    I've developed this airport to accompany John Young's new AI Meteor NF11s, available separately and as a package with this airfield at MAIW. It covers FSX to P3Dv5.

    P3D v5 Updating Scenery Footprints

    Hi Jon. I've noticed that as I update a scenery library I'm using in a new project, the footprints of the building groups in the library do not update with the changes I am making to the models. That means I'm having to fire up the sim to see where the new or adjusted models are being placed. I...

    MCX Unhandled exception when trying to collate thumbs

    Latest Development Release downloaded today. Converting FS9 library to P3Dv4.4, and trying to generate thumbs. Immediately 'Generate' is pressed, the Unhandled Exception error box comes up. No thumbs are generated. If I press continue, MCX locks up. Log: System.NullReferenceException: Object...

    Reconnecting FS9 to ADE

    I mentioned in another post that I'd lost my C drive. A new C drive is in place, and the computer is up and running again. ADE (after a little faff) is working fine for P3D and FSX:SE. However, it can't see FS9. My FS9 is installed in drive G with the 'noCD' patch, which I assume disconnects the...

    ADE Compile error after move from 1.78 to 1.79

    Hi all. I am certain this question has been asked before, but I'm damned if I can find the answer. Forgive an old guy for being a bit slow. I recently moved all of my projects from ADE 1.78 to 1.79 Dev (Pro) v01.79.7475. I've successfully changed the Pro .dll (yes, caught the Windows security...

    FSX:SE AI issues at a 'staggered parallel' field

    Hi all. I'm fairly experienced at ADE, but this one has flummoxed me so far so I'm looking for inspiration. On MAIW, someone came up with a problem in their own version of KNMM (Meridian McCain NAS) that the AI traffic would not honour the wind and a logical use of the staggered-parallel...

    FSX:SE Unable to compile data

    Hi. I've just installed this app, version 4.302. On two separate computers, I've tried to use it to update the lighting on an airport created in ADE, however the 'Make Object Library' will not let me select a Light Source, and thus will not create a library. I note from another thread that AFLT...

    FSX:SE ADE 1.78 won't compile a separate OBJ file.

    I have upgraded to 1.78 from 1.76. I have imported a project which compiled properly from 1.76, but will not compile with a separate OBJ file in 1.78. All the libraries are imported, the Settings page is set correctly, and the 'More Options' on the compile dialogue shows that it is selected to...

    FSX:SE Airfield background poly does not appear

    Hi all. I have tried to search for this problem, but all my search results seem to reference photoreal polys, which is not my issue. I'm using ADE 1.76. I'm currently working on a 1990 version of RAF Finningley, in FSX and P3D/Orbx. For a number of reasons, these are effectively two separate...

    Just trying to make Cecil appear in P3D4/Orbx (it's underground as stock). Opened it in ADE, applied a CVX, tried to compile and got this: Compiler Errors Found. These were not identified by the Issue Manager. Please let us know what the compiler error is so that we can improve the Issue...

    AI not taxiing at, or disappearing en-route to, new airport

    I'm trying to create some of the camp strips an the Falklands in P4Dv4 using ADE 1.75. I've created many airports before in other parts of the world, so I've been quite surprised at this issue! AI traffic will spawn at the airfields, but will not taxi or take off. AI traffic en-route to these...

    P3D v4 Tower View doesn’t move with airport move

    I’m using ADE 1.76 Pro to modify the stock Lagos airport (DNNM). I quite like using P3Dv4’s Tower Controller view to watch what’s happening around the place, but having moved the airport slightly to align better with the Orbx Global Vector roadways, the tower view didn’t move with the airport...
