• 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.

    New project won't compile

    Working on a relatively simple project and it fails to compile. Fault finder finds no problem Can't figure out what the reference to the customground poly items are. I'm not using any except Don's stock textures. I've attached the AD4 file--wonder if it compiles on another system. It must be...

    Advice/Guidance on how to share a project

    I suspect I, like many of the "lurkers" on this forum, have developed a fair number (hundreds, here) of airports for their own use--sketchup or gmax or blender buildings, ground polys, freeware objects, etc. While pretty amateur compared to Ray's, etc. they are a huge improvement over the...

    Trees on the runway...and I'm out of ideas

    I did a small airport for my current "flight", St Stephen New Brunswick (CCS3). The FSX version was pretty spartan. The main apron/buildings are actually much farther from the runway, and not surprisingly, the autogen was all over. I did what I"ve always done (an exclude everything poly, and...

    Ground Polys and ground line not showing in FSX

    For some reason, none of the GP or GP lines in this project are displayed in FSX (Win 10). I've not had problems before--and a project from a few days ago is fine. These are all default GP textures (these and my own worked on another project yesterday) Tried adding a flatten thinking somehow...

    newest update looks for FS9 instead of FSX

    No idea what I've done. I downloaded the newest update yesterday, 11/14. Everything has been working great for a long time--years. Last used last weekend After update, when I start AIFP, I receive a message (first attachment):"unable to locate FS9.cfg." I have only FSX on the machine. I've...

    FSX Can't figure out how to cross wind this one

    I am trying to set up cross wind for KMSN (Dane, Madison Wisconsin) and I'm a bit stuck. I've successfully added many basic crosswinds, and I've used the advanced method in Jim's Crosswind tutorial successfully as well, but I can't figure this one out. First, RWY 18/36, which is the...

    All of my AI traffic is now IFR... (solved)

    In the last few weeks, all my AI traffic--created in AIFP and working int the past as "assigned" VFR or IFR --has become IFR. All the small GA flight plans that I've made which (some for years) used to "downwind/base/final" are all instructed to ILS or Visual approaches. When I review the...

    Unable to add Landclass (airport 1) to project

    I have found that I have (become) unable to change the airport background on FSX projects. For several years, using Jim’s/Helli’s 9 year old post (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/landclass-visibility-problem.15173/) I’ve been able to add the airport 1 background when my projects...

    I"m sure there is an easier way to place taxi line...

    The surfaces that GP creates are so much better than the default FSX... Unfortunately, I've found no way for the taxi lines or parking lines to show through the ground polys. I think I re-read the manual pretty carefully last night, and searched the forum. For taxiways, I just make a very...

    Aircraft missing when bulk add selected

    Just noted this week...It used to work, I think Some of my aircraft folders in my simobjects/aircraft folder have names that start with a number. When I chose "bulk add aircraft to list" these folders are not included in the option (see picture). If instead I select "add single aircraft to...

    Can tranparency of gp polys be adjusted?

    My uses are pretty simple, and this is just fantastic for my projects. For us "lurkers", the last few weeks' discussion have been incredibly informative. Where do you guys find the time!!!??? I have one issue which was, I think, addressed early on, before Don's travel time, but I can't find...

    SAMM1 models don't show in beta

    I hesitate...but. I have a library of aircraft made with Don Grovestine's SAMM1 (SAMM1 models only in the library). Using the beta version of adex (1.52.4710), they appear with appropriate thumbnails in adex, but they don't display at all in fsx. I also have a library (actually 2) made...

    Night texture problems...now what have I done!!??

    For a few years I've been able to make simple objects with sketchup, then MCX and then FSX. Haven't done any for a few months until this week. I updated to the latest development (64 bit) before starting this week, and my problem occurs even with today's dev release download. I am no longer...

    No tools menu...

    I hesitate to post...and probably will deserve the electronic tongue lashing I'll receive for my stupidity. I've had FSX sp2, SDK, FSUIPC and ADE on my computer for 6 years.. That was the problem. Built new computer (Ivy 3770 K, 8G, 120 SSD [Win7 64 and FSX] 1 tb WD black for most...

    How to bring my libraries into beta version

    I'm sorry, I can't find this in the manual or with an extensive search, yet I know it's been on the forum. I've been away for awhile, wanted to try the Beta version which I installed in a new file and works fine... but my libraries of scenery objects are not available, only the stock FSX...

    No longer able to make library, or open many aircraft

    I've done it again, it appears!! My old system: FSX only, Windows xp sp 3 (32) I've had wonderful success with pre-version 2 SAMM. Seemed to create models almost perfectly. I had generally made my scenery library with Arno's Library Creator, then place in FSX with ADEX. I downloaded...

    Trouble adding effect

    Sorry, I think this was discussed but I've spent two days searching and can't find it. This is my first effort at adding effects. I'm trying to add an effect to a mdl created/converted from sketchup using the chimney smoke just as in the tutorial. I can easily get the effect (see first...
