• 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.

    FS2004 Chicago O'Hare crosswind fail

    I am using the old KORDv2 scenery from FSDT on FS9 and I am TRYING my best to make this specific runway configuration work. I am trying to make all departures go from 22L and all arrivals landing on 27s/28. The arrivals have no issue using the 3 runways I have decided for them (28/27L/27R) but...

    FS2004 FsEarthTiles Grey squares

    Ok, I'm very new to FsEarthTiles but I have been looking at the various youtube tutorials. I selected an area around KPHX to download but I always get this result once I have added the folder to the scenery library. Any ideas? Tried using different download resolutions, and different area snaps...

    FS2004 Lights visible from a certain radius only?

    What I would like to try do is editing all the navigation and strobe lights so they are only visible from a certain radius as in real life. Is that at all possible?

    FS2004 no taxi light on AI aircraft during daytime

    This has really REALLY bugged me for a long time now. I use to be able to see taxi lights on the nose gear of AI aircraft during daytime but I have noticed since updating with newer models (FAIB/TFS etc) that no taxi light on the nose is visible during day. The only time they are visible is...

    FS2004 What am I doing wrong?! KPHL x-wind ADE

    I have been using x-wind techniques on AFCADs/ADEs for years but I really do not understand why this one won't work. Farting about on FR24 the other day I noticed at PHL they were using 27L for arrivals and 27R for deps. So i thought I could try make an all runway-orientated file. The plan was...

    FS2004 Frozen on splash screen

    [Posted this in other forums as I really want to try get some clues towards an answer without having to do a full re-installation] Absolutely gutted and I hope I can find a way to resolve this. I hadn't loaded up FS9 for a month or so due to moving house. Once I moved in I booted the PC up and...

    FS2004 AI line up on runway time

    Now this will sound odd but perhaps I just like tweaking the last few bits out of my AI. When AI line up on the runway, larger aircraft (747/777/330 etc) will taxi down the runway quite a bit further than the smaller aircraft (319/320/737) before stopping again and then commence the takeoff...

    FS9 AI remain on stand after clearance

    I've seen similar topics in the past but it appears they are more towards an issue on FSX. I like to do a bit of AI spotting so I setup Heathrow and left it overnight to look at it today (real-time) but I noticed literally every stand was taken, no aircraft were taxiing out. Having looked at the...

    FS2004 Sudden FPS loss changing views

    This one is a bit baffling as it's only started happening very recently. It happens regardless of which aircraft I use, which airport I am at or whether it is day or night. I keep getting sudden FPS drops whilst cycling through the views. For example, if I am on 2D cockpit view and have a...

    LSZH departure runway (x-wind technique)

    This is really starting to grind my gears and I cannot figure out what to tweak! :mad: So! I have been trying to tweak LSZH so that it uses R16 for departure and R14 for arrivals regardless of the wind. I have successfully been able to do this to various airports such as Amsterdam, Palma De...

    FS2004 "XML file does not contain airport" error

    So I have been trying to do some work on a few BluePrint simulation sceneries, KLAX and KMSP specifically. Since the AFCADs that come with the update are HUGE and I can't edit it solely. I did an extended compile "complex split" on them and it worked fine with KLAX....but! with KMSP when it...

    Navigation lights effect.fx distance

    So I recently decided to use 'Nick's LightFix' and I love it and I even managed to fiddle around with the strobe.fx files to create a double-blink airbus strobe. But I've got one picky situation I'm now trying to sort out with the navigation lights. So for the medium aircraft sizes I use...
