• 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.

    CFS 2 FSDS V2

    Hey everyone. Haven't been around in a while. Been years actually. I bought FSDS because I wanted to make bulletholes on all my old models and as you can see the only copy I could find came minus a users manual. That also means no product key. I don't know how you might feel about letting me use...

I tried uninstall and reinstalled it but when I checked systems32 folder it has msxml3.dll and msxml6.dll but no msxml4.dll so I copied the files in the cab that came with msxml4.msi installer and manually copied them to system32 folder...

    FS2004 Distorted small parts

    I really am perplexed by this as my knobs are getting crunched like they were aluminum foil on export. I know that the exporter does weld vertexes that are within 1 mm so I welded everything on my model to that distance. I used middle man and turned off optimization and weld points. really don't...

    FSX Using Visual Studio 2013 for Gauge compiling

    of course since im so new I might seem obtuse asking but does the art go into the same folder that you save too. I understand basically what im doing with xml so far im designating all the files associated and designating their behavior and naming the files to be used. placing them in the...

    FS2004 Totally new to guage work

    so im starting to see what you are saying. you use visual basic to create an xml file for your gauges then use the cab tool in the fsx sdk to cab them all into one file. now how do you create cab directories for fs9?

    FSX Using Visual Studio 2013 for Gauge compiling

    I really could use a step by step explanation on how to set up a gauge project using VS 2013 Express. I've tried using the ACEs XML piece of hooey and cant even get past the tutorial for the fuel pressure gauge...lol. Which should tell you im as new to this as it comes. please be yourself but be...

    FS2004 Totally new to guage work

    this is from page 42 of the panels and gauges sdk 2004: "create gauges using the Visual C++ compiler, version 4.0 or later. The process used for compiling gauges with other compilers should be similar." I guess I should explain this too for this being such an old program. I create the planes...

    FS2004 Totally new to guage work

    thanks for all of that you said it was all helpful (and im not being sarcastic when I say this) but my question was what do they mean by C++ compiler and where do I find one. and what do you do to compile an xml gauge I don't see any utilities for that. ive extracted all of my files to the same...

    FSX Problem with mouserect on VC animated switch

    OK think ive had this too This was a weird thing that happened to me once too. The way I got past it was to create a material solely dedicated to the mouse rect. You can use the same .psd or .bmp as your other materials. just cannot use the same mat as you use for your other parts. whats...

    FS2002 Some Building Questions with Gmax

    some new factors I've gone through the error files and cleared every error related to collocated vertexes and the model flies in 2002. is there a way to negate the export error hang like it does in 2004? 2004 will pass a myriad of these collocated vertex errors. The problem I have is...

    FSXA things suggested once you get any of these to work

    COPY THE GAMEPACKS FOLDER TO A SECURE BACKUP!!!!!!!! then all you have to do is wipe the entire folder when they get corrupted and drop it back in. True for 2004 if you want to use middleman and model commander. true for 2004 when a model you were able to export yesterday suddenly has a file...
