• 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.

    MSFS20 xbox vs steam in fs2020

    I have xbox running MSFS now on my Desktop ( very wel ) and I was told by Copilot AI that "serious players preferred Steam". I was just wondering why.

    MSFS20 xbox vs steam in fs2020

    Does anyone care to define what/why they prefer xbox or Steam for MSFS2020? Ive looked at the historical data here. Do both of them have similar capabilites to load up a Community Folder with custom 3D objects? My CoPilot AI seems to think Steam has more capabilities, and that "most serious...

    Mistake in spelling (used _ instead of -) .

    My new project name had an _ instead of the required - . I have jumped through hoops trying to clear that field back to blank with no luck. I have cleared my entire system sytem of that . program, but to no avail. Can anyone suggest a way short of reloading msfs? Erasing SDK and reloading...

    Gmax export as object sounds worthwhile to try with just a simple cube.

    My topdown airport image

    Sadly, after successfully using the SDK a few times this AM, I got as far as the Blackshark.ai and the simulator stops and I am so so done with this stuff for now. Somehow, I may have corrupted something but using the SDK shouldn't have done anything to prevent a complete boot up now. I was...

    My topdown airport image

    I am 1920 by 1080 single monitor. I suspect there is a setting which sets and locks my DevMode dialog boxes to cover my entire screen, and that may be the whole explanation.

    My topdown airport image

    I switched to Developer Camera but that did not get it done. Something in my scenery editor? is not right. I will try Theston's tutorial with Developer camera and report back. Update: Unsuccessful either way. Do you have time to download and try my zip file? It will tell me whether I need to do...

    My topdown airport image

    Status: MSFS2020 1.30.12.0 along with SDK 0.20.5.0. I used DevMode and the SDK documentation to edit some polys. I cannot replicate what I saw in tutorials where one opens the scenery editor, and magically, the airport appears in top-down camera mode with the dialog box superimposed on the...

    Bad airport purchase for MSFS 2020 - buyer beware

    Is there a way to cancel a purchase for a refund, or at least delete the purchased airport? Microsoft refunded my money today. If you are curious, the airport was KBTV. The vendor is getting a roasting from buyers on the web. You can delete the offending file(s) from OneStore.

    Lost payware

    My payware stearman is gone apparently because I worked with creating polygons but WITHOUT invoking any delete activity on the contents, only the polygons themselves. I am happy with my progress now with the SDK except for this blunder. It's only $15 but I will appeal to the vendor anyway. I...

    MSFS20 Repair a BGL?

    I got my original bgl from following flying theston's you tube tutorial. I am going to reconstitute it because I only kept the bgl. Stupid. I copied rhumbaflappy's xml file and personalized it to my airport. But.... So far I can't get it to load in DevMode. I thought loading it in Devmode...

    MSFS20 Repair a BGL?

    Can anyone share how they repaired an existing bgl in a community folder? I made a bgl fix to my KBTV airport which was very labor-intensive and also some experimental stuff I want gone. I could write another one to fix the first one, or scrap it and start from scratch, but I think by far the...

    MSFS20 Materializer bug

    I downloaded Materializer 1.78 and tried it out on some square bmp's and jpg's, large and small(3500x3500 and 150 x 150) . It won't load a normal bmp or jpg. The same complaint appeared on Github but it was posted in 2018 so I thought it would be patched by now. Anyone?
