• 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.

    MSFS Creating an array of lights in Blender and exporting it to MSFS2020

    Hi guys! I wanted to create an array of lights and place them along a curve in Blender - that's when I found out you can't use modifiers on non-meshes. I found a workaround ---> using instancing. The issue is, those hundreds of lights are not duplicates but instances and the gltf exporter seems...

What are meant are the lights that are green on one side and red on the other, etc. The internal MFS lights should actually have a GUID ?! Or asked a little differently. Can you...

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is an easy way to replace the default dots at p3d airports with light poles or similar objects that we find at nice payware airports? Or does each airport need to be designed separately? I'm just wondering if there's some kind of default taxiway light...
