• 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 Annotator question

    Hi everyone, ive planted autogen trees but realised that autogen has the pop up problem, can you make the annotator use proper tree models so you can see them far away?

    Floating scenery objects

    Guys I think that's the problem, I have night textures made for everything except the roof texture, thanks so much for your help I really appreciate it.

    Floating scenery objects

    The format is DDS, the texture on the roof is different from the walls. Even more weird is I just tried to add a dome to the roof and in FSX it appeared inside the building, so I moved it a few meters above the roof and in FSX it appeared ON the roof, then I exited FSX and fired it up again and...

    Floating scenery objects

    I know of that issue back in airport 2.10 but the scenery im having most problems with is actually close to the reference point in this case. I made a simple box and applied texture to all surfaces except the top and bottom, as soon as I add a texture to the top then load FSX i see that the...

    Floating scenery objects

    Do you think making shared textures unique will cure it? Thanks for the info anyway, i see after removing the textures the model appears ok, is there no way around it?

    Floating scenery objects

    Ive just noticed its because when I have the mesh resolution on low it looks ok, but when I turn the complexity up some of the polygons and objects float. Mesh resolution 1m (highest) Mesh resolution 305m (lowest) Really annoying, I seem to waste my life building scenery for FS only to...

    Floating scenery objects

    I deactivated my addon scenery and meshes so FS loads quicker while making scenery, after building extensive scenery I reactivated the addon scenery and now some objects are floating in the air, I couldn't get the scenery to look right again so I deleted the whole scenery and starting again and...

    FSX non transparent textures

    Ive made a model in FSDS and applied textures (including night textures) without problems but when I apply a transparent texture it comes out black. As a test I took one of the default tree BMP textures from the main texture folder and that also shows up as black where it should be transparent...
