• 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.

    Custom vertex Normals

    Does the P3D SDK/Exporter or the actual sim engine support custom vertex normals? The new 3ds max 2021 has some point as a new weighted normals modifier which is suppose to create smoothing by altering the normal direction and this way i can create low poly bevels. But its not showing correctly...

    Mipmapping worth it these days?

    With texture size increasing and settings on the sim improving shimmering is it worth including mipmapping in our textures? I found a long time ago it seemed to make the exterior decals look worse and customers reported this and i found we accidentally turned that mode on in DXTBMP. So i have...

    P3D v5 Can i have bump textures with interior cabin light effects?

    So for years i always had to skip having bump maps because we do not use night textures besides the main panel. This way our realism is accurate for the lighting electrical system. We use effects for cabin lights, cockpit overhead lights, maps lights and other lights. Of course the panel we use...

    FSX Gmax System out of memory after i updated PC

    I got the dreaded System out of memory. Tried all my tricks by hiding the objects and making them smaller and even making the Gmax window very small when you first open it and this usually prevented any memory issues for my larger projects. I recently updated my PC to a very high specs. So i was...

    I never hard coded interior lights because FSX they never work. I noticed in P3D they actually work but when i change the view using the hat switch on the joystick some directions the light shuts off. Mostly when you facing away from the light. But when i try to add more lights in the VC for a...

    P3D v4 AOA is jumpy in windy conditions

    Is there a good method to prevent the wind from making the AOA indicator jumpy? I never noticed this until recently that our AOA gauges we create get very jumpy in high wind conditions. Is this normal behavior? Only solution i can think of is a bit of lag added to the code animation.

    P3D v4 Security issue P3D Addon XML

    To me the addon xml method is inviting some to repack your product and give it out to others or put your product online for others to download. Do you think most developers will not use this?

    FSXA Multiple BGL's in the same location issue

    I am making a detailed hangar that won't create a single 40MB BGL from the model or the x files so i made the project into 5 sections and all BGL's work fine. But FSX will only show any 1 of the BGL's. Why will it not show all 5?

    FSXA GPU sitting on ground

    Because the payload changes so does the height of the GPU. So i use the rear gear to animate to compensate for the height. Is there a better method?
