• 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.

    Guide to current Blender to MSFS Workflow?

    I see the guide 4 here, and have installed it, but the last image shows an “MSFS Extensions” choice - I don’t have that - blender_6_exporting1013×529 70.9 KB ... and there are no further instructions. I tried making an object (and saved it to my community folder) but can’t find it. Any...

    SDK Converting Heightmap XML data to displacement texture

    Hello everyone. Got a bit of a techy question. Does anybody know a way to convert an heightmap from MSFS to a usable displacement black/white image? Once you apply an heightmap to a surface, it "wraps" around it so the single vertices of the heightmap should be the ones of the actual ingame...

    Hi! I have an object that appears smooth in both Maya and Blender, and once I export it to FS2020, it's all faceted. Any Blender or Maya tricks to keep it smooth? Thank you! 🍻

    Hey everyone, I made my first armature in blender, it's a folding (accordion) door for a hangar. I've posed it correctly in opened mode and then exported the mesh to blender.

    MSFS Blender2MSFS does not export my texture

    Hi, I have a simple model with a single texture file. It looks fine in Blender but when exporting the model using the Export for MSFS, I get the bin, xml and gltf file but no texture file. As I am new to Blender, it could be that I missed a crucial step. I use a "Diffuse BSDF" surface with...

    Blender not exporting taxiway lines

    For some reason Blender is not exporting taxiway lines but still can export my base "runway." The only difference between the runway and the taxiway line is that the runway was made from a plane while the taxiway line was made from a beveled curve that has been reconverted into a mesh. Is there...
