• 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.

    FS Architect v4.1

    Since I'm permanently shutting down my website as of April 22, and since I've been asked for these recently as well as in the past, I've re-uploaded the files for any and all of you who ever need FS Architect. It's the last and latest version I have. Also, due to the length of time that has...

    FS2004 Scaling down aircraft during export

    Hello All! I've been searching the forum and Wiki for a solution and have been coming up with nothing but mentions of techniques but no real guidance... yet. I'm in the process of developing and aircraft and had read numerous times about modeling it larger than actual size to avoid the way...

    FS2004 I'm slowing getting back into it...

    ...and figured I'd show off a little of my recent work. Get a little feedback... maybe. As I stated on my website, I'm sporadically working a little bit of a lot of projects and this has been the one I placed the most effort on in the past few weeks. A few years ago I released my basic...

    FS2004 Why? Why? Why?

    As in the heading, this is FS9 specific since I refuse to use a third-party multiplayer server as is required by FSX. And, yes... I do know of, and have used FSHost, but the same issues abound... I'm sure I'm in the minority concerning this but I figure this would be the best place to...

    FS2004 Aircraft model size

    I've been wondering for quite some time... Is there any benefit to modeling and aircraft, let's say, twice it's size and then export/compile it a half-scale? The main reason I ask is on my first "real" aircraft model I created six-sided pitot tubes but when I saw the result in FS9 they were...

    Am I alone in losing motivation?

    I always wondered if people like Arno become unmotivated from time to time... I've been quite unmotivated lately when it comes to my scenery projects and even the first attempt at an aircraft. I want to but when I sit down in front of the computer I get distracted very easily. Maybe it...

    Anti-Aliasing and Windows 7

    I hope one of my fellow developers can help me... I'm presently prepping a friends brand new 505-Q890 Toshiba Qosimo "tabletop" (because laptop is too small of a word for this monster) which has Windows 7 Premium and a GeForce GTS 360M... I've gone through this kind of thing with "older"...

    FS2004 AIRtoCONTAINER

    Something that has always peaked my curiosity is... what the heck is the "AIRtoCONTAINER" section of the FS9.cfg? It's obvious that the aircraft listed are default aircraft... Does anyone have any insight on this? What would happen, I wonder, if I were to take the time to add all of the...

    FS2004 Odd window when starting FS...

    Just a query hoping someone had the same issue and found a resolution. I have my gaming rig with both FS9 and FSX... fully updated and loaded with addons. After installing Abacus' Flight Deck4 I've had a non-descript, blank window pop up during the start of FS9 with nothing more than an 'OK'...

    Terrain modification

    THE HISTORY: I've struggled with this problem for quite some time and would like some input from those who know far more than myself... The airport in question (MD31), in all versions of FS, is lying on relatively flat terrain BUT in the real world the surrounding area is a bit "hilly"...

    Lost anti-aliasing...

    I've come upon an odd situation and wondering if anyone else has experienced or heard of this... I built a computer for a fellow FSer and all was fine until a few months ago. He lost anti-aliasing in FS but antistropic filtering looks like it's trying to work. I figured a card change would...

    FS2004 Bounding box... what's it really for?

    I'm tackling some more conditional animations in GMax, to be eventually exported to FS9, and am curious, is the bounding box necessary and why?

    FS2004 Batch files... and FS

    Greetings All! Let me start by saying that when it comes to programming I get lost somewhat easily... even with DOS. I searched, experimented, and failed quite a few times. What I'm hoping is that someone can either point me in a direction or help me with creating a DOS batch file. What...

    FS2004 Jet engine rotation animation...

    More of an inquiry than a problem... When animating the fan blades of a jet engine, should I use the "Prop#_Still, Prop#_Slow, and Prop#_Blurred" names or should I use the ones I just discovered: "Engine#_Stopped" and "Engine#_Turning"? As it seems right now, without texture applied to my...

    FS2004 VC Rain

    It's me again... With the FS9 SDKs for MakeMDL and GMax Aircraft Creation physically in my hands I've followed every step precisely to create the necessary nodes (polys, NOT dummys) and objects in hopes of applying the VC rain effect to my new toy... I mean development project...

    FS2004 How to stop a "creeping" airplane...?

    I've adjusted what seem to be the appropriate entries in the limited settings of the "aircraft.cfg" file and the multitudes of confusion in the "*.air" file... HELP! Problem: (Real-world prototype was 2200 pounds with two turbine engines producing 1900 pounds of thrust each) I started with...

    FS2004 Dummy Object location in GMax

    Greetings All! In scenery development I've found that when using a Dummy Object (LOD) it should always be X0|Y0|Z0. Is this true of aircraft as well? With my present project I have all my Dummy Objects at the hypothetical CG centered on the hypothetical main spar...

    FS2004 My first aircraft...

    I think it's time to get some REAL feedback. Although I'm quite some time away from completion, and my friends are too kind some times, I'm curious to what other developers might think. It started off as a CMC Leopard but has mutated into a monster! Well, maybe not a monster, but it's...

    I think I've done everything... but the animation still doesn't work

    I've been scouring over these forums, and the Wiki, for the past three days trying to locate wind-related animation guidance but can't quite seem to find the necessary help. There are definitely a lot of discussions but every attempt I make, based on these various posts, I find I must be...
