• 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.

    MSFS20 Slew Mode --> slower and precise movement

    I've just gotten Fs2020 to run on my desktop, however are having problems with slew mode - the movements are too fast and too large, to accurately move around. Has anyone found a solution to this ? to either slow down the movement to be more accurate or through an external application?

    MSFS20 VASI not showing the 3d object.

    Hi, I have a problem with a scene that worked before SDK0.12 but not now anymore. My VASI lights are only showing the light effect and not the 3d object anymore. Plus the spacing parameter is not working. Tweaking this parameter have no effect on it. Any idea why?

    MSFS20 Best way of testing SimObjects - Specifically Jetways

    So I have finally managed to get my custom jetway working, but it is such a pain having to edit the 3ds file, export, close the sim, add to comm folder, open up airport, test, and do all over again for every change. Is there a way (within the editor) to test simobjects without having to leave...

    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...

    Can´t see Blender objects in MSFS2020

    Hi; I have been trying to export Blender Models to MSFS following the Flying THeston videos. Sometimes. I could do it, but some times (many) I am not able to see my models in the SIM. I did it the same many, many, many times, and sometimes I got it, but many, no. I am going crazy. I have Blender...

    Comparing the 3 ways to texture the ground...

    There are pro's and cons for every method of ground texturing. Firstly I put all three options side by side (for what it's worth this is just a flat plane textured in Substance). Right off the bat we can see how awesome the Scenery object renders in the game's engine. If only the other 2...

    MSFS20 Electric Pylons

    Afternoon everyone! Quick question. I'm making a fictional airport using ADE alpha 16, I have put in an exclusion poly, to exclude base scenery stuff, but it didn't exclude the electricity pylons, so I tried using a exclusion rectangle and got the same result. :-( Any ideas? Many thanks Steve

    Interior vs Exterior

    I started working on my interior more recently. It was originally part of my main file that included everything, so I could fit it together in one piece. It made sense to me at the time to keep everything together. Then, a few weeks ago, I detached the interior and sent it to a separate master...

    Good evening, everyone! At first, I joined this site to learn about designing and editing airports when I used P3d, which had very outdated versions. However, since FS2020 uses satellite imagery along with the fact that buildings are solid objects now, so you can land on the roof of any...
