• 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.

    FSX Black and White Image comes out red after resample

    I have a USGS Digital Ortho-quad (DOQ) that I'd like to use in FSX and ADEX as a background image for template purposes. Thanks to helpful threads on fsDeveloper, I've successfully re-projected the GeoTiff from NAD83 to the proper WGS84 datum. Using a simple .inf sample which Arno posted in...

    Ideas for terrain textures for historic airport?

    I'm attempting to start a project to create a historic, or "retro", version of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport circa 1979-80. While I'm a relative beginner at scenery design, my goal is to produce a relatively high-detailed airport scenery including custom ground polys for all ramps...

    After some fits and starts, and a couple year vaction from attempting FS9 scenery, I'm getting back into a project to create FS scenery. I'm interested in moving up to FSX, to avoid the 4.75 m/pix resolution restraint in the old FS9 resampler.exe program. Before I spend considerable money on...

    Curved Taxiways?

    I'm creating ground polygons in GMAX using the FS2002 gamepack method. I was wondering what the best technique is for making curved taxiways, as in the accompanying image. I've been using lines, and the Bezier/smooth tool, then capping holes, but using this method it is difficult to make...

    I'm trying to produce photoreal terrain using USAPhotoMaps and Terraserver imagery. Reading the SDK, I'm unsure as to how to compute the CellXdimensionDeg and CellYdimensionDeg values for the .inf file. The instructions note that this must be the distance between each pixel in degrees...

I've learned a lot of great information from this forum and the various turorials that many of you have been so kind to share. I've run into a texturing problem that I'm hoping someone can help...
