• 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 dynamic light problem

    I have been playing with dynamic light for P3D 4. Added a spot light, set the orientation to face down to the ground. Added the created .fx to P3D's effects folder but when I test it in P3D, its always in the default sideways angle. Also it doesn't follow my light intensity parameters...

    Why is MCX programmed so complicated?

    I made a work around. In gmax, I merged -attached all same texture polygon into one big polygon. Now it has 1 specific texture per object and all show up. SOLVED. Thanks Arno and others. Didn't know there was such a catch on MCX.

    Why is MCX programmed so complicated?

    Here's an example. I created 4 textures. Without duplicating anything, I added those 4 textures to different objects such as the very top dirt and color overlay, concrete base and some asphalt base and then taxiway edges. Once I import to MCX, the top colored dirt texture won't show up. One of...

    Why is MCX programmed so complicated?

    Whoever programmed MCX, did it too complicated. I exported layers of runway from gmax, it has 7 textures (including markings). MCX just loads 4 of them. To make it easier, I duplicated few objects and MCX doesn't like it? It never loads those 2 objects. Attaching files. Gmax image shows runway...

    How to add night texture in photoreal ?

    I have created photoreal for a vast region with 140 tiles with sbuilderx. If I try to load night texture thats _LM via sbuilder, it takes forever for a file to load. I tried editing INF file and added LM via that, then used resampler.exe to compile to BGL. It processed Day and night but when I...

    Gmax orientation help!

    It works fine in FSX after exporting even thought I see it weird in MCX. But now the problem is the animated bus (I had an animated bus from gmax) is disappearing, only viewable from certain angles..such as a zoomed out view in top view.

    MCX problem with groundpoly.

    I figured it out, MCX doesn't like duplicates. It works this way- create new poly and apply textures individually. If I create a poly, texture it and duplicate that, its not going to work. Now I got all textures listed in Ground poly wizard and textures don't switch.

    FSX MCX problems? groundpoly.

    I am creating ground poly, created a runway using gmax. I have used 8 textures for it such as edge white line, yellow line, overlay, base asphalt and so on. But when I open it in MCX via ground poly wizard, only 6 textures show up. Then another problem is, I get textures switched, shown in the...
