• 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.

    P3D v4 Possible to change aircraft animation?

    Just wonder if it is possible to change a part of the Wilco Harrier. In real, the GR3 has its front gear bay open when the aircraft is standing, but closed while taxiing. The Wilco Harrier has the gear always open which looks a little odd. It would be nice to get it closed like in reality, but...

    Hi, while making good progress with my ground polygons at RAF Gütersloh, I did detect these strange straight-line shadows when raining: There seems to be a direct relation to the precipitation settings inside MCX, but shame on me, I did forget which. The shadows seem to move with the clouds...

    P3D v4 FSEarthtiles: Possible to use previous era terrain?

    Hi, just noticed there are many former air bases which are now marred by solar panels. It is impossible to create a useful groundpoly. In Google Earth we can change to previous time spots, but is it also possible with FSEarthtiles?

    Hi, did several sceneries for my own use using "Sim Director" from P3D. Works fine for many times, but now suddenly all friendly names of my scenery objects listed inside the preview window are gone: There now are only the guide numbers listed, which is very hard to find any objects without...

    Hi, just doing some experiments to customise my Aerosoft Huey. After using the air file of the Milviz Huey and the soundpack which is far better than the AS version, I now try to modify the startup sound. While the AS version has a nice turbine startup sound, the Milviz comes without any. So I...

    Possible to add parachuters to Lockheed C-130?

    Hi, just wonder if it is possible to add (or use i. e. the Aeroplane Heaven C-47) paratrooper to other aircraft, i. e. the Lockheed Martin C-130. I know it was possible in FSX by changing some entries inside the aircraft.cfg, but I am not familiar with it anymore. Does anybody can help?
