• 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.

    P3D v4 Add dynamic lighting in sim?

    I have seen some tutorials on how to add dynamic lighting to P3D using model converter X. Adding the effect to a building and then overwriting an existing building BGL or adding the building to an airport with ADE. This may be a long shot, but does anyone know if there is a tool to add dynamic...

    Custom Edge Lights with Emissives

    Project I am working on requires precise placement of edge lights (you can see their placement even on real life satellite imagery). I modeled and textured an edge light with emissives (with a day/night cycle) and added a soft point light to the model to mimic the real life representation. All...

    P3D v5 Can i have bump textures with interior cabin light effects?

    So for years i always had to skip having bump maps because we do not use night textures besides the main panel. This way our realism is accurate for the lighting electrical system. We use effects for cabin lights, cockpit overhead lights, maps lights and other lights. Of course the panel we use...

    ADE PAPI Spacing

    Hi all, I am having trouble with ADE, the spacing option for the PAPI lights doesn't change anything in sim. I have changed it from the default (80 I think) to 5, yet the spacing remains the same. Something I am doing wrong? Images attached, appreciate the community help :)

    P3D v3 Odd shadows on building.

    I will state right now that I have solved this by simply recompiling the model and placing it again. But I am curious as to what the problem was because I didn't change anything. In the picture below you can see what look like shadows on my terminal building (only building that had the issue)...
