• 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 Problem with how textures appear in FS

    Hi all! I come with a problem that is driving me crazy. I am preparing ground polygons for FS9 using ADE. I texture them by 1024x1024 dxt3 textures that I prepared, see the A1.png attached.

    Cooling Tower Steam Stack 1.00

    A simple but neat effect that consists of a large steam stack, the likes of which you would see coming out of a Powerplant Cooling tower. You can use it for whatever you like, though it was created to be used with FS9's "Nuclear powerplant" library object, so it's 'tailored' for it. Place it at...

    FS2004 Change fs9 GPS line width

    Hi experts, Do you think it is possible to change the line width on the fs9 GPS display? I know the line drawing is done in a DLL that is the result of C/C++ code compilation, so this requires some "hacking" in the generated code, but I know some people are good for this. Some people were able...
