• 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.

    Make photoreal follow ground elevation

    Maybe a bit of a stupid question, but I was wondering if it's possible to make photoreal follow the ground elevation. Right now it's completely flat and not following the earth curvature which causes some issues with aircraft wheels "sinking" through it. Maybe we did something wrong in our...

    What started out as a simple add-on for myself turned into a multi-year project to see if I could create scenery the way I like it… not perfection but immersion. So after a year of concept, 1 ½ years of learning how to code and throw in a few years of scenery work for good measure and well...

    P3D v4 Photoreal Blendmasks no longer transition smoothly.

    I've had this issue since day 1 of owning P3Dv4. Is this an issue with P3Dv4 itself (as a software) or could this be some sort of incompatibility? I'm surprised I haven't seen more posts on this issue, however it would make since if it's only an issue on my end.. The Blendmask is an 8bit...

    Dark Textures during dawn and sunset

    Hi, I used 1024x1024px textures to create a photoreal polygon to get the highest quality as possible near the runway. Underneath I've created a photoreal with Sbuilder, with the resample process. Everything is great, except when the sunrise or sunset time approaches. The 1024px textures get...

    SBuilderX Cleanup 2.0

    The SBuilderX tile server can be a very useful tool in your development workflow, but over time it will also build up an enormous cache of satellite tiles and directories. This cache can be cleared manually, but to make things much easier, I decided to write this batch script that will do the...

    Overlapping imagery tiles in a single BGL?

    I have downloaded some high resolution imagery tiles from USGS for an island. This island runs from SW to NE, so the imagery within the tiles isn't perfectly square. (Cut into wedges and overlayed to make a clean fit) This means, when I combine these 90 something odd tiles into just 7 images...

    Multiple texture photoreal ground poly?

    Hi Everyone, I wonder if someone could help guide me in the right direction for this. I am looking to make a photorealistic ground poly for my airport background but I would like my satellite textures to be split up in 1024x1024 textures so they are smaller and easier to work with and can...
